I just buy more stock and calls at the most painful moments. This has worked well.

<< When stocks are high, sell calls (and accept the consequences) or take
your profits (and accept the tax detriment). When stocks are low, sell puts (and be prepared to accept
assignment) or increase the deltas in your net long positions (your next ticket for the follow-on ride) and of
course, be prepared to have the market prove you wrong.>>
