Monday, Sept. 8, 2023. How our fearless, intrepid investor made out last week and what she will do today

For several weeks, the SPY  put/call ratio showed positive investor sentiment, suggesting a short-term market rise. The best thing to do at that time is NOT to sell derivatives with SPY as the underlying security but simply to hold SPY.

As suggested by the put/call ratio, SPY rose and our fearless, intrepid investor benefited.

Monday, August 7, 2023. How our fearless, intrepid investor made out last week and what she will do today

Last Monday, July 31, our fearless, intrepid investor wrote (sold) just-out-of-the-money covered calls on SPY. She collected a nice premium income – safe, secure, adequate.

On Friday, August 4, the put/call ratio showed investor sentiment to be negative suggesting a short-term market decline. The best thing to do at a time like that is to sell just out-of-the-money covered calls on a safe security as our as our fearless, intrepid investor did last week.

The risk of selling covered calls is directly connected to the selected security. The safest security to use is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) which tracks the American economy as a whole. Of the thousands of ETFs that exist, only about six qualify in that respect. Among those, the best is SPY. It is the oldest and the largest ESP tracking the S&P 500 and has the narrowest bid/ask spread.
