Earnings season is over, but there are still smart options trades to be made.

As the second quarter earnings season comes to a close, investors may feel like their opportunities for using options trades to capitalize on share-price fluctuations are limited. However, there is one strategy that has consistently outperformed the S&P 500 for the past 27 years, according to Goldman Sachs. This strategy, known as overwriting, involves buying and holding a basket of stocks while simultaneously writing call options to generate a premium. Goldman Sachs analysts have identified 20 stocks that are well-suited for this strategy, providing investors with an opportunity to continue profiting from options trades before the third-quarter earnings season begins.
