This month, I saw how much the US Market Index can move in a day, most of my positions when repaired goes against me. By the time it is almost expire, the drop were relentless, instead of converting to stocks, I chose to take losses and it proved that it was a wrong decision. If i have converted every losses into stock, it will result in me taking a win as the stock price went back up to $30 in a week.

The learning proposition this month is that I should have converted it to stock and wait for the stock to recover. I also sold shares on my naked put position for BP and it helped in my maintaining my mental calmness when the drop was going below my strike.

So i learn 2 things this month, not to sell any options which is 5cents or less, as we will need to wait till it expires to have even a slight profit from the options premium collected. The other learning is that when the market moves too quickly against my sold put, I sell stocks to cover the naked put positions before it reaches the strike price, however this repair method is for strong trend moving against my position.

This is the stock which i had to take 3 losses this month, I will be back. This is one stock that i couldn't repair by selling the stock as this is not easy to borrow.
