$AAOI #ShortPuts Sold to open…

$AAOI #ShortPuts Sold to open July 21st 55 Puts @ 1.60 when stock was at 61.04. Was filled immediately so I obviously was too cheap and early which I guess is better than being cheap and turned down. Will sell calls against the stock if assigned.

Adding DRIP in December

New highest strike so I’m throwing one out there to get it on the books.
Sold $DRIP Dec 15 40 call @ 2.80.
