When the sp has pushed forward so hard in the last 2 months, it is a good bet that during the retreat, this etf will hold up better since it will have option income to go on top of the dividend income.

a covered call etf on the market is a no brainer for beating the market.

hearing myself say that scares me ;-)

buy write index. follows the S&P loosely as it writes covered calls on many underlying stocks. thats totally fine, let the ETF write calls for me & profit from it. The downside is if these underlying stocks skyrocket within a one month period....in which case, you miss out on those returns. As a portfolio, I do not expect this to occur often in the S&P 500. This is the safer, steady way to beat the market, in my opinion.

This seems like a fine time for being paid to wait. The risk of rocket stocks getting called away seems minimal in the S&P500 for now, so buy&write&write&write while collecting dividends (admittedly shrinking dividends, most likely) seems like a good plan.
