Invest with HenryApr 15, 2026

The creator compares buy-and-hold strategies with covered call (BuyWrite) strategies, analyzing research from institutions like Fidelity, Investopedia, Goldman Sachs, Cboe, and Bloomberg. While buy-and-hold generally outperforms in bull markets, covered calls can offer more stability and potentially better risk-adjusted returns in neutral to bearish or volatile markets, especially when employing strategies beyond at-the-money options on more volatile stocks like Nvidia.
