With the market unstable due to COVID-19, I've decided to look at the S&P sector ETF's for opportunities, rather than my usual dividend stocks. I'm a bit hesitant to jump into any individual stocks at this moment, so these ETF's provide a good alternative. Checking the Sector Tracker I see that the following sectors have faired pretty well during this downturn, so I established CSP's in all 4.

• Consumer Staples (XLP)
• Health Care (XLV)
• Technology (XLK)
• Utilities (XLU)

Another wild ride on Wall Street. I decided to roll all of my positions out to April to avoid assignment. Hopefully the markets will calm down by then. I managed to get a net credit on all the trades, and took profits on the long put halves of the Bull Put Spreads (BPS). I then converted the short halves to Cash Secured Puts (CSP).
