TOTAL NET GAIN: $1054.98 Success!
The lesson.....
On 12/10/2014 (when I sold my puts at $1.10), SPY was trading between $202.93 and $205.98.
On 1/9/2015 (when I bought back my puts at $0.03), SPY was trading between $203.51 and $206.42.
If, during the same time frame, I had bought 1000 shares of SPY instead of selling put options, I would have broken even. However, by selling 10 put options, I came out with a profit of $1054.98! That's why I love to sell put options!
