Only way I can make a dime over the course of time is averaging down indices on pullbacks.
I've gotten even more conservative than you, trying to crack the "steady returns" nut.
Currently holding 8 Long AAPL, and 3 Long QQQ positions.
But they're all Vertical Spreads, rather than Single Options, and don't expire until July, August, October, December and January.
Much less exciting, but at least I don't constantly chew on antacids any more!
Only Apple

Pair of balls and a smell for hot brands lol
Hard to predict what it will do now, tomorrow will bring more clarity ...
That really hurt, being two seconds late buying a load of calls and seeing it spike up like that ... but I only saw it would spike up in the last minutes before the close, and getting TWS to buy some calls took too long. I should have had a put and call order ready. Lesson learned.
To soften the pain I bought a load of AEX index calls this morning, they should do well the coming week or two. The AEX (Dutch index) has been punished severely the last few weeks, and should have lot of upward room.

I made a live apple call, in case you didn't notice. If you're interested, I can make more.
