I trade some around core positions. Mostly when options force me in or out of some of the position. It's actually where most of my ports income has come from for years now. I sell a LOT of puts and that works extremely well in a sideways or up market. A few here trade more regularly, but it's a side game for me. The solar stocks I mentioned are a side game but it's real money to me. Several sectors I like have went nowhere this year but adding and trimming the volatility has worked. I am way up on utilities this year. They've went nowhere and I try to nab most of the dividends. I have at least a half dozen stocks that feed me monthly income and are stuck in a range. I do hate being stuck with a stock in a range that pays no dividend. I option my way out of them when I can.
