		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve made many new options trades recently (see below) as the market has continued to drop and as volatility has continued to rise. With the market looking like it could go lower, risk reduction was my top priority and most of the trades reflect that. Typically this has meant buying back deep in-the-money options (intrinsic [...]]]></description>

All of my short naked put options expired comfortably out-of-the-money (OTM), allowing me to book profits on the option premiums I collected when I originally sold the options (see details below). I also adjusted an [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This month&#8217;s options expiration was typical of most from my perspective as an options seller. It was yet another &#8220;payday&#8221; as I &#8220;closed the books&#8221; and officially collected the option premiums on the expiring naked put options and covered call options that I&#8217;d sold months earlier (see details below). Meanwhile I&#8217;ve also been busy initiating [...]]]></description>
