Weekly Roundup - January 21, 2017
![]() |
Happy Weekend! Check out what's been going on in my world and some of the best articles from around the blogosphere. |
I hope to get on a more consistent writing schedule once I get back to work. When things are going smoothly with work I have about 12 hours per day to do other things which is much needed right now because I have so much stuff to get done for just maintenance, record keeping and of course writing.
The 3rd week of 2017 didn't see any slow down in my options activity. I've been putting up a furious pace with my options activity primarily via just selling cash secured puts in my Rollover IRA. This past week I hit 10+ moves again between opening and closing positions and if things hold steady I'll set a personal best for options income earned in one month.
On to the Roundup
In case you missed them, here's the posts from Passive-Income-Pursuit over the past week.
- 9 Option Moves to Boost My Investment Income and 1 Lottery Ticket
- Dividend Growth Investing at Work - Realty Income Strikes Again!
- Decisions, Decisions
Once again I'd like to say thanks to each and every one of you that read, commented, and shared posts from here this past week. I think this dividend growth investing and financial independence community is amazing and the openness from everyone is awesome. Thanks again!

This is great that you are going back to work, will you continue with the options to continue to build up the portfolio or you will slow down on that?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the weekly updates.
Good to hear that you will be heading back to work although I totally get why it's bitter sweet to be away from family.
ReplyDeleteWishing you the best and looking forward to reading more of your writings in the coming weeks. That's some handsome trading profits from the options. Keep it up and thanks for sharing.
Also thanks for the shoutout and linking to my goals post.
Best

As always, thanks for the continued support and sharing of our two collections. Have a great weekend JC.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes, AFFJ
Thanks for the mention JC. I think that the paycheck will definitely help to grow your networth and dividend income in 2017, and get you closer to financial independence

Wow, setting personal best at 3rd week of 2017 is the best way to start the year!
ReplyDeleteBest of luck with your job, much needed after 6 months lack of sleep? hehehe. It's always good to stay with your infant on the first year of her life. I wouldn't mind taking a year off just so my infant isn't taking care by a stranger. Especially, you can afford it financially.
