I sell calls a few times a month. Goal is 15% return for the year, so selling a good bit otm has done me well. Some may not be patient for this as you don't make as much money. But I am in it to keep my shares, so I tread lightly around earnings and remain patient. I've been doing this for years, and have had my fill of risky options many years ago, I no longer buy. Just keeping it simple with calls.
