Small Percentage Gains from Large Account Strategies?

I know I'm going to get roasted...But

Find value companies with a "wide moat"...You can check Berkshire Hathaway's ideas of a wide moat. Wait for an off quarter...Then buy. If it has a dividend, even better (think Coke KO).

Do a covered call, if you feel it is of good value and is holding market share.

One example I will use. In 2019 the second Boeing 737max went down. I felt they would find the problem. I bought the stock (even though they eliminated the dividend), then did a leap (covered call). Juicy premium on a value company...

If the company drops by 10-20%, get out quickly (buy back your option), then move out of the company...GM, F, GE were disasters for me over the years.

Yeah, I know Des with step in with "A married put converts the position to a synthetic long call at the put strike". But, when you have a ton of money and want to invest (doing better that the 4-5% a CD or one year treasure will pay), with safety, this might be the way to go...

Maybe I am wrong, but you seem to be a long term investor, rather than a trader...

PS SPY or QQQ with covered calls could work.

PSS I'm riding my bicycle...I'll get to your shredding later.

This is an excellent way to invest/trade, I did that for 44 years, and best to do after sharp drops using monthly charts and only dividend stocks. And sell puts.
Only reason I stopped is more consistentcy in options and commodities for me.
