I sure hope it doesn't dump. It's been a good run so far for me
There seems to be a lot of all-or-nothing with covered calls. You can always sell fewer contracts and keep some shares with no obligations if you think the upside potential is worth it.
Sorry, I wrongly understood you put 100% to 0dte calls. My bad.
No, I am not satisfied with SPY annual returns.
EDIT: As a EU citizen, I am not allowed to buy SPY or any USA ETF but I am allowed to buy their options. When I read SPY, I associate instantly with options 😂
I don’t really have a strategy, except buying solid companies, selling covered calls (which I buy back for a profit when the stock dips), protecting with puts (which I also sell for a profit when the stock dips), buying on dips, and buying puts at market highs. A mix of everything.
My mistake was trying to succeed with bad, cheap, or penny stocks. That will never work. They’re money-eating monsters. Occasional or random success doesn’t mean your portfolio will grow in the long run. Occasional success is just bait.
On the other hand, if you invest in big companies, go have some beers, and come back in 15 years, growth is almost guaranteed. In 2010, I opened a restaurant and lost $700,000. Had I invested that money in Apple shares instead, it would be worth $16,000,000 today.
I will just no more touch companies that are not established big companies. I don't care if they are in a bad position right now (for example LULU).
I don't touch restaurants, bioscience and only rarely fashion.
