Sold 1 Credit Spread on INTC – 0.81% potential income return in 24 days

On October 19, 2021, I sold 1 bull put credit spread on INTC stock with an expiry set in the next 24 days. For this trade, I got a premium of $43.2 (after commissions)

These trades come as the #19 and $20 in the month of October, according to my trading plan for this month, the premium generated from this trade makes me about 7.2% of my $600 monthly goal.  While in total I have reached already 53% so far. Awesome!

Here is the trade setup:

• SLD 1 INTC NOV 12 '21 53 Put Option 1.01 USD

• BOT 1 INTC NOV 12 '21 51 Put Option 0.53 USD

For this trade, I got a premium of 43.2 USD (after commissions) or a 0.81% potential income return in 24 days, if options expire worthlessly

What happens next?

On the expiry date, November 12, 2021, INTC is trading above $53 per share -  options expire worthlessly and I keep premium - if INTC trades under $53 on the expiry date, I will get assigned 100 shares and will have to buy them for $5,300

But as I already have collected a premium of $0.43 per share, my break-even price for this trade then is $53-$0.43 = $52.57

In case of assignment, I will turn this trade into a wheel strategy and will start selling covered calls.
