Also sold a May 50 put on Realty Corporation (O) for $.62. Annualized yield 8.7%.

I’ve had my eye on Alliance Bernstein (AB) for awhile now.

I determined that I would be willing to buy this stock at $30, so I sold two May 30-strike put options for $.35 each ($70), resulting in an 8.03% annualized yield on the $6000 that I must set aside in my account.
