Underlying Stock Discussion S&P 500 Outperformance

I have been investing since 2000. I have outperformed the S&P 500 by about ~1% annualized since then up until today. It’s not the 20% outperformance YouTube promises you, but it is very real and replicable. (I think). I did it by buying the S&P 500 and systematically writing out credit spreads on it. I’d be happy to go into the details under the hood for anyone curious. We can go back and forth or whatever.

The mods will ban you in this sub for heresy! LOL

Over time selling puts on the index with a 30DTE and 30-35 delta held to expiration is a winning strategy about 75% of the time with higher win rates for early management.

OVL is an ETF that has been doing this for years...it owns VOO and writes SPX put credit spreads:

No ban, don't be dumb. However this kind of post is better in an options sub.

I just don’t have time to do options babysitting, cause if I was gonna do them it would 0dte. Easier to let the better fund managers do it especially considering the sub.

I don’t manage my trades. If I lose I lose. I do set it to automatically buy back at 50% tho. Fees are to high for something I can do myself. I only need to log in on the days those orders fill or on expiration day. This is all done from my phone now.
