YouTube Low Maintenance Trading: Are There 'Fire & Forget' Trades to Earn 20-30% Per Year? (Part 1) 2025/01/05 PowerOptions Strategies Married Puts, Covered Calls, Long Collars Low Risk Strategies, Low Maintenance Strategies, Profitable Options Strategies, Beating SPY, SPY Buy and Hold, Exceed Expectations, LEAPs, LEAPs Covered Calls, LEAPs Protected Positions, 10% Annualized Returns, 20% Annualized Returns, 30% Annualized Returns, Long Term Strategies, Long Term Profits, Married Put Expectations, We received an email prior to our first Open Discussion - Q&A Session for 2025. Stephen K. asked: "I was wondering if you could touch on some low maintenance (longer term) strategies - ones that possibly involve LEAPS? Anualized returns in the 10-30% range (just throwing that number out there, don't know if that's being over zealous)." We tackled Stephen's question live with our thoughts on Low Maintenance, LEAPs strategies that might suit his needs: Married Puts Simulated CD's - Deep ITM Covered Calls 1 Year Out in Time 1 Year Out LEAPs Standard Collars - popular among Broker's and Advisor's We had the recording set and ready to go...then we realized there was an issue with our comparison! Using the patented Historical Tools on PowerOptions we showed how the default Married Put results, with no income methods, would have met or exceeded his results. However, the Simulated CD and LEAPs Collars did not come close to meeting expectations or matching the Buy and Hold of SPY or QQQ. So we spent the time this weekend to make a fair comparison: Would the Simulated CDs approach - High Return, High Downside Protection and High Probability Covered Calls meet the returns on the same stocks of the Married Put? Would balancing the two with a 1-Year Out LEAPs Collar meet the same goals on the same stock? Instead of posting the live webinar results (and if you want to see that, let us know in the comments) we make a fair comparison... 8 stocks. 3 Bullish Strategies. 3 'Fire & Forget' Low Maintenance Trades. Same Time Period of a Bullish Market. Which Strategy Comes Out Ahead...? 21
