By Tom Dyson in The 12% Letter:
The 150-point rally in the S&P 500 has breathed new life into stocks... But don't let this rally fool you into thinking a new bull market has started. Before a new bull market can start, there needs to be a long period of "basing." This is the "sandpaper" stage that comes after the "guillotine" stage (the sharp drop).
The sandpaper frustrates bulls and bears with a series of quick rallies and declines. It redistributes stock from the weaker hands to the stronger hands. Bear markets never form new bull markets without this "sandpaper" action in between... I don't expect this bear market will be any different.
But this action is great for a covered call strategy. As long as volatility stays nice and high, we can keep earning huge option premiums... Our blue chip stocks and their covered calls keep cranking out 15% yields without any loss in principal... And the market doesn't punish us for selling the upside potential away to the options market.
