Fair - but there is something to be said about stock picking! Options trading can also add some convexity to your portfolio, and doesn't necessarily have to be up/down trading. Short put spreads, iron condors, diagonal spreads are a great way to add some juice to a basic portfolio


At 10 year lows this is as good a time as any. Short ATM puts are interesting for the leverage, I'm not really interested in buy and hold CVS for me personally. The JUN 55 puts at $1.30 ish only using around 1k in BP in a margin account, that would be my preference.
