How can the income be "for the month" when the new positions are 3 months out?
By more or less "rolling" the puts further out, aren't you just borrowing against the future instead of earning income? What happens when you run out of time to borrow against?
What am I missing?

this week,
i sold the 58 august iwm put for $3, 10 contracts
i sold the 99 june spy put for $2.15, 10 contracts
i had the iwm puts: may 65 (6 contracts), 68 (7 contracts) and the 71 (7 contracts)
i will be assigned on the 68 and the 71.
i will sell august covered calls on each at cost basis strikes of 68 and 71, current premiums of 3.4 for the august 68 and 2.16 for the august 71.
i will also sell the august 59 iwm put at 3.19 (6 contracts) approx 10% otm.
so for the month i will have collected approximately 10,900 in premiums meeting my income goal with no position having a strike below cost basis in spite of a significant drop in the underlying issues.
drjoe...i will update when trades made on monday morning...
