Options are versatile trading instruments that can be modified to fit current market trends. For instance, after-earnings season comes an expected decrease in volatility. Credit spreads can be an excellent way to take advantage of elevated but falling volatility and quieter markets - and the short iron condor is one of my favorites.

Whatever the market condition, it’s always wise to review one's portfolio, and if it’s tilted toward income, include time-tested investments.
