### Comment:
You don't necessarily need to worry about assignment, you could buy very deep ITM and roll the contracts out when you're near expiry. 
  
 To be honest my advice would actually be just go long $SPY.  I (almost) never buy options, only write them. 
  
 You can see the idiots up and down every single daily thread bitching about THETA stealing their tendies.  Goal is to be the one selling to these fools.

### REPLY:
Selling would be my eventual goal, but it just seems like the premium isn’t worth it. How far out of the money/date do you sell?

### END.
