Option trading cam be an excellent source of income. Selling calls and cash secured puts are relatively simple and relatively low risk. Not ‘no’ risk, though. The Wheel Strategy is a pretty good ine during bull markets but disastrous in bears. And always easy to see a bull in hindsight. Another downside to selling is you will probably miss big moves as the stock will get called. Bottom line: Options can be  reasonable risk with decent i income.
