3 Million

The last time I wrote a Milestones article such as this one was 16 September 2018. That article was number 700 and my page views totaled 1.23 million at an average of about 594 page views per day. 

Now I'm averaging about 911 page views per day. In the past month or so, DivGro averaged about 2,161 page views per day.

Expired Options (January 2022)

I skipped posting articles about my options trading in December, choosing to take a break and reset things in 2022. 

Having failed to achieve my options income goal for 2021, I set a more modest options income goal for 2022, aiming to collect a total of $12,000 in options income by year's end. 

The market is quite volatile, with inflation concerns, upcoming interest rate hikes, and geopolitical tensions cycling as reasons for concern. Selling options can be quite lucrative in a volatile environment, but the accompanying risk should be managed carefully. 

In this article, I'm covering the options that were scheduled to expire on 21 January 2022.
