My retiree high-yield dividend income investing blog
Another stock I would not mind owning in my portfolio, so I sold a Sept. 140 cash-secured put option @$6.55, which equates to 18.17% annualized yield.
Credit Suisse X-Links Crude Oil Shares Covered Call ETN (USOI)
Added 14 shares @$74.52 to my portfolio. This energy play on oil pays a distribution of 19.6% monthly.
Sharing my entire portfolio, comments appreciated! Ranked by dividend yield; includes my stock/eft shortlist and CEF shortlist. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d
I have mostly high yield stocks, ETFs, CEFs, and T-Bills.
Some growth stocks like TSLA, AAPL.
Not included on the spreadsheet are my covered call and cash-secured put options.
Comments appreciated! How many of these do you have?
Took profits today (bought back) on a short UBER put option.
Divided the cash evenly between two new holdings that I’ve been wanting:
Gabelli Global Utility & Income (GLU), a global, closed-end, utility fund
New Lake Capital Partners (NLCP), a REIT that specializes in cannabis properties

I love the end of the month. I receive dividends from all of these on the last day of the month. Most are Closed End Funds (CEFs).

My Apple (AAPL) April 175 short put is in the money and expires in a few days, so I rolled it out and down to a May 170 put to give AAPL more time. This resulted in a net debit to me of about $13. The new May put option gives me a 32% annualized yield. I only sell cash-secured put options on stocks I would want to own.
I added to my position in Cohen & Steers Quality Income Realty Fund (RQI). Reasons I’ve had this closed-end fund for quite awhile now:

Today, 100 shares of Gaming and Leisure Properties, Inc. (GLPI) was “put” to me (assigned to me at $45) out of my April 45 short put. Current price $42.18. No worries, a stock I am glad to add to my position. Pays 7.10% dividend yield and has many green ratings from Seeking Alpha. Remember, I received $150 for selling the put option, so my current net loss on this trade is only about $132, and I got to buy a great stock at a fair price.
Added a small amount to my Tesla (TSLA) holdings at a great price. I will never bet against Elon Musk.
Added a small amount to my Agree Realty (ADC) holdings at a great price. Two green ratings from Seeking Alpha and pays 5.39% monthly dividend.
