Dr. Joe,
Thanks for posting your strategy. This is one I'll have to think about and maybe paper trade it. It's a longer-term approach. How successful have you been with it?

> ex. may put on IWM IWM is 60.58 sell the 60 put at 3.15

> then i buy a protective put itm farthest one out
> ex. jan 12 - 70 put for 15.16 with time value of only 5.58 for two years of protection that is a 9.3% max risk not factoring in 4% dividends over 2 years which brings it down to 5.3%

> over the next year i adjust the long protective put based on the changes of the underlying
