Bit pedantic, and probably bit eye roll inducing from the regulars here, selling options as described in this thread and in general (via The Wheel and other strategies):
--Is trading, not investing. Short term, not long term. It may sound like semantics but it is (at least IMHO) really important to mentally separate the two.
--Is far from pinned to the right side of the shitty<-->amazing spectrum. It is generally an approach that has modest returns (that are capped) for high risk (theoretically huge/unlimited risk, but practically closer to just "high") and pretty heavy trader involvement (lots of rolling, lots of fingernail biting, etc.).
