[quote=Anonymous]This is not a “retirement strategy,” which requires reliable, steady income. Selling covered calls sounds great until the market surges and you lose the upside. Sure, you can roll an ITM call, but if the stock starts a longer-term uptrend, you’re just deferring a loss and missing the stock’s run. Since stock prices are biased upwards, you’re playing against the odds. Writing cash secured puts is great in a down market because it’s less likely that the stock or index will continue down. If it’s a stock or index you would like to own anyway, you’re getting paid to wait. Also, due to the positive skew in stock prices, you’re playing like the house. Ideally, you want to sell when implied volatility is high. [/quote]
