I wasn't referring to options writing being "approved", I was referring to the difficulty in applying an options overlay strategy to a typical Boglehead portfolio. But I could be wrong about that too, perhaps there is an easier way that doesn't bleed fees. In any case, altering your portfolio to suit your options trading habits might be a bad idea.First off, to be honest a give a ?!&% on whether something is "approved" by bogleheads or not....
...I have not seen any academic study suggesting continued outperformance.
As for academics, if they could reliably predict outperformance (or anything else) they'd likely be trading rather than publishing. I don't agree that there is insufficient history in options to draw any conclusions. I think better arguments can be made that what happened in the markets 100 years ago is not useful in analyzing todays situation, IOW too much history (considered) is as problematic as not enough. But I also think your question regarding continued outperformance is backwards--have you seen any studies that suggest that options will NOT perform?
