    High premium vs Low premium calls.

    Check out Orats and run backtests on various stocks/portfolios with varying expirys and DTE ... Keep in mind buying one ATM call vs buying one 110 of spot call may not be a fair comparison. I would compare equal delta's and or equal dollars as well.. As the above is essentially...

    High premium vs Low premium calls.

    Not true.. If you do not apply leverage,ATM put selling performed well relative to benchmarks. There are several academic research reports on the subject. You could also run simulations with a backtester like Orats and see how DTE and strike affect returns

I retired from Wall Street in 2002,and "goofed" off until covid kept me off the slopes and from coaching..Im trading full time now and establishing a track...

    Naked Call Strategy

    Not saying I like your strategy,but at least you are capping your risk. He's taking risk for very little return,and instead of covering/hedging,he arbitrarily flips the other way and goes short the put after a 10 to 15 percent rally.... It's wrong on every level

Makes zero...
