With call premia near decade-long lows, upside options offer benefits compared to long equity positions or can be used to safely enhance core cash equity holdings.
Broadly, call strategies have exhibited better risk-adjusted returns than holding a cash position in the SPX index.
The loss from a long option or long option spread position is limited to the net premium paid.
