For a beginner, I have a very successful predatory investors in the past (apr/3yrs 28% have been), but it is time to take a break from the stock / mutual funds trading and a stagnant market, and if I see a reasonable profit retained so that others do the thinking and venture into different areas.

The sale of options that work well in private treaty area. Your profit potential is very limited and the risk is great - unlimited if the short form of the option by the underlying contract covered (future?).
I know some dealers who sell an average of 20% per year have covered call options. Some have won more, but always when they were destroyed too aggressive.
In addition, in 2005 alone there were dozens of new covered call money opened and were in difficulties. There was a lot of money doing it wrong love. However, certain funds (the benefits of an individual) are instructed to try to deliver 10% to 12% of claims per year can receive. When the VIX is 20% is good, you can use the kind of statements without much exposure target. But when the VIX drops by half, then it is now, you have two or three times in the same position on the same income, and funds were over-indebted and under hedged at a time when liquidity dries up - - not a good combination.
The S & P volatility right now is about 12% in a steady increase until 2006, while the CBOE Volatility Index rose to 25% in June, but went back to 12%, the decline in Treasury bill imitates 10 years, although short-term revenues have steadily risen.
The two are now the most active options that are too low and failed to bonds that are too expensive (the inverted yield curve).
The bonds are not sure where you want to be. Treasury bills are short-term as well, but avoid the 10-year Treasury like the plague.
According to some, there is no such thing as a "soft landing". In any case, after a period of low risk premiums are generally not very good.
The problem is that many small steps that can be removed in a great movement, the underlying, sometimes a whole year worth of gains or more. The advantages of minimal risk and does not justify the enormous changes and withdrawals.
I have the stock index futures for 15 years but gave up and finally changedForex, where sometimes there is a trend. He has had enough of false signals to wide fluctuations in the stock market did not know best.
I write a lot better with money. The report was in August 41% and 40% in the previous month. Most people can not in one year. In any case, consistency is an example of not too extensive and in every market. As I found during the worst time of year to trade Forex. No trends in these two months, while most of Europe is on vacation.
