Ps. there is nothing magical here. The only diff. is the charts-and-Greeks free approach. That's it. Anyone can do it if they care to forensically look at balance sheets and study events.

This Friday will be high, c. 80% of available cash. Yield this month is around 4% when adjusting for assignment.

That is correct with a slight difference. I did not lose money since February when the longs were flat or lost money.

Spray and pray does not work really....I would not put much money into this if I were you

I like insurers, not tech I am levered and take assignments.
