OPENING (IRA): XLU JAN 17TH 52 SHORT PUT
... for a .48 credit.
Notes: One of the underlyings on my IRA shopping list, pulling the trigger here on a "not a penny more"* short put at the 52 strike with a resulting cost basis of 51.52/share if assigned on the 52 shortie. The current yield is 3.06% with an annualized dividend of 1.85.
Will look to roll out "as is" at least quarterly for further cost basis reduction until assigned or that's no longer productive.

Covering here for a .03 debit, a .45 ($45) winner. As with the XLP, will reevaluate buy point if we ever get a broad market sell-off.
