    3K monthly income on a 100K account

    Mainly, I sell options when VIX is high and buy high yield stocks when VIX is low. Nothing special, I just trade like others but spend less than few hours a day as I work as a sales rep for cancer labs, i.e. driving around most of the day.

    Well, I don't trade high beta stocks. Otherwise I would get wiped out pretty quickly at any time due to the margin requirement. There are few strategies that I use including: - option writing - long on high yield stocks - arbitrage on time value - fundamental analysis I would admit...
