Simple buy and hold is boring when you are in a one-year now? funk. So I have been writing covered calls on everthing from about last June. I have made about 25% in option premiums in that year and am still holding and have more resources to buy. Did I buy more at the bottom? NEVER. Will I get some stock called away and miss some upside? Probably, but with the option premiums and choice of strike prices I will have exceeded my targets. Becoming less likely every day that I will lose any stock..
