The 5 most popular option strategies ranked.

(only 1 actually works long term)
🔴 D tier — Covered calls. Bullish with one hand. Cap your upside with the other. Doesn't protect downside. Usually makes no sense....
🔴 C tier — Cash secured puts. Bullish to sell put, but sitting in cash doing nothing while the stock runs.
🟡 B tier — Buying puts. You're betting against every CEO whose job is to prove you wrong.
🟡 A tier — Buying calls. Better but timing still has to be perfect. Hard to do consistently.
🟢 S tier — Portfolio secured puts + LEAPS + shares. This is what scaled me to 7 figures through bull & bear.
SIMPLE!
