This is absolutely not a thread for exciting options. Believe it or no ROKU was actually fine. The premiums were stupid good and I collected them more than once. Got in much cheaper than had I just went long from the start. I intended to hold it and I will. FSLY not so much so far. Those are far from conservative though so didn't mention them on this thread. Huge difference in what I do with the other 90%+ of my port. Just got my internet back so I'll find some more conservative plays to chat about. I have done a lot of precious metal puts the past few months, but I stick with the majors. Not informed enough to gamble in this sector. I really enjoy this thread but most of the 30 or so puts I sell each month will put you to sleep so I stopped sharing them. Conservative option pretty much triples my dividend income so I am beginning to question my minimum dividend yield rules. I've gotten looser with that rule with a few plays each month. But when it all hits the fan I want to be stuck with above average Divs, but not yield traps in dying industries. Ask me in five years if that was a good plan, but I'm comfortable enough with it the past few years.
