Here are my Stock / Fund BUYs for This Week:
Symbol:  JDST 
Buy Date:  5/15/2015
Buy Price:  $8
Target Sell Price: $9
This JDST was from a PUT that I sold on April 21, 2015 for a premium of $0.85.  JDST is now at $7.12.  I will wait until JDST gets back to $8 before I sell a covered CALL.  But at this time, I have made a 10% return on these JDST shares from April 21 to May 15.

Stock Symbol:  USO
Sell to Open Date: 5/21/2015

This USO was PUT to me at $20 on Jan. 9, 2015 from a PUT that I sold on January 2, 2015 for $0.45.  USO went down from January to April, and when it got back above $20, I was able to sell this $20.50 CALL.  I have now earned $1.17 from the PUT/CALL premiums ($0.45 + $0.25=$0.70) from the two option premiums.  This is a 3.0% return on these USO shares from Jan. 9 to May 21.
