Conservative option strategies, what did you buy or sell today?

Delta and implied volatility are terms you need to be familiar with. Put the VIXX in your watch list. After a while you will be able to glance at the market and know if it is a good or poor day to get favorable premiums. Some of those tickers are tough to trade unless the market is very choppy. I try to get minimum 1%/month premium and usually more. It's just my number and you will find yours. If you cap your potential gain too tight but keep all the downside risk of holding weak shares it will fail you eventually. I try not to use option premiums to rationalize holding stocks with fleas for too long.
