I’ve had the same internal debate lately. On one hand, shifting to cash-secured puts and covered calls makes sense in a volatile market—you still generate income while limiting downside risk.

I personally hedge more when things get shaky, but I don’t abandon my core strategy. The market always feels scary in the moment, but long-term, sticking to a plan usually wins out.
Changing your strategy just because of volatility is how people lose money. If you believed in high-risk plays before, why not now? Markets cycle, and if you’re suddenly shifting to conservative trades out of fear, you might be better off just sitting on cash. The only real adjustment I make is tightening risk management, but I don’t suddenly turn into a dividend investor just because the VIX spikes.
