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...? 33

Here is the breakdown of today's Open Forum - Q&A: 1. Reminder - no webinar next week on Nov. 28th. Let's enjoy the shortened trading week! (0:00 to 0:55) 2. Review of the Market this week, Market Sentiment Tool and Fusion Trades (1:00 to 9:15) 3. Harry: What is your average return in your personal account? (9:30 to 26:10) - My Portfolio allocation in different strategies and targets, how that differs from Ernie's allocation and setting realistic goals based on conversations (trials, tribulations, successes and failures we have seen with investors since 1997) 4. Harry: What other services are out there that provide what you provide or better? (26:20 to 32:40) - Our thoughts on what is out there, avoiding Gambler's Ruin with over hyped promises and the risk of the Lie of Leverage 5. Harry: GO back 15 years...you invested in AAPL, MSFT, DPZ and others...how would you compare to that? Warren Buffet and Berkshire are considered the best investors out there. How do you compare to them? (32:50 to 39:31) - I don't have those numbers, but Harry provides them. We show what we have done, our expectations (realistic) and goals. Every investor has to find their match to their risk tolerance and goals. If you feel you can do better on other approaches...that is on you. 6. Did you or Ernie ever mimic Joe Hooper or any other great investors? More on the Berkshire Comparison (39:45 to 44:40) - I read the question and then internally laughed out loud. No. We never mimicked Joe Hooper...or Snider Investing (really had The Wheel before 'The Wheel' was a term). We taught Hooper's Covered Calls and Calendar Spreads as we were the only site at the time that offered tools to find his trades. Later, we improved those approaches for investors that lost money on his techniques. Follow up on this Berkshire comparison idea 7. Paul: in the perfect world how can you maxmize married put approach? what timing would improve results? (44:45 to 49:30) - A look at our approach using the Market Sentiment Tool, MACD, SMA 20 and mention of how Ernie uses the Bollinger Bands 8. Harry: Do you feel there are stocks that are too big to fail? Like MSFT (Microsoft). Do you feel we must have MSFT for computers to function? (49:30 to 53:55) - MSFT is not going out of business nor being bought out, IMHO. However, if they hit the hardest of hardest times...someone would step in and cover the difference. Value of Capitalism. Computers 12
