Stock buys were mostly made using CSE Advanced Charting techniques. However, I limit chooses to known stocks that I consider high quality. To date no TSS or special management techniques have been used in this account. My goal is not as aggressive as CSE pitches. My goal is a 2-3% cash flow per month and to try and minimize risk of account value decreasing by selling ITM calls (the majority of the time). To date, I have done better than the CFA/Broker. I am not overly concerned about account 2 value since I believe the stocks will recover in time.

Busy Studying Positions That Could be Assigned

I am busy figuring out what to do with positions that could be exercised/assigned. Currently Account 1 has between 1 and 3 positions and Account 2 has between 9 and 12 positions that could be assigned. I have started the process to determine if I want to roll out any positions. I am also busy evaluations stocks to open positions in next week.
