The price of oil went UP this week and ended at $59.63, up from $57.15 last week.

Strike Price: $14
Option Price: $0.23
This UVXY was PUT to me at $13 on April 10, 2015 from a PUT that I sold on April 9 for $.26.  If I get called out at $14, I will have earned $1.00 from the PUT/CALL strike price difference and $0.23 + $0.26=$0.49 from the two option premiums.  This is an 11% return on these UVXY shares from April 9 to May 15.  If it does not get CALLed, I have still earned my $0.49 in option premiums for a return of 4%.

Option: Sell to Open Covered CALL 
Stock Symbol: UVXY
Sell to Open Date: 4/27/2015
Expiration Date:  6/19/2015
Strike Price: $17
Option Price: $0.60
This UVXY was PUT to me at $17 on March 20, 2015 from a PUT that I sold on March 18 for $.75.  If I get called out at $17, I will have earned $0.75 + $0.60=$1.35 from the two option premiums.  This is an 8% return on these UVXY shares from March 18 to June 19.  If it does not get CALLed, I have still earned my $1.35 in option premiums.

Stock Symbol: USO
Sell to Open Date: 4/30/2015
Expiration Date:  6/19/2015
Strike Price: $22
Option Price: $0.40
This USO was PUT to me at $20 on January 9, 2015 from a PUT that I sold on January 2 for $.50.  If I get called out at $22, I will have earned $2.00 from the PUT/CALL strike price difference and $0.50 + $0.40=$0.90 from the two option premiums.  This is a 15% return on these USO shares from January 2 to June 19.  If it does not get CALLed, I have still earned my $0.90 in option premiums for a return of 5%.

Stock Symbol:  UCO
Sell to Open Date: 4/27/2015
Expiration Date:  5/15/2015

As oil goes up, UCO is bouncing up and I like the premium for this $9 PUT.  So when UCO dipped back down to $9 last Monday, I was able to sell this PUT at a 5% premium for 3 weeks out.
