I've also seen no advantage for mechanical stock picking, compared to index investing, for a few years now. At my age, the thrill of trying to beat the market by 2-3% per year, and failing at it, is no longer there.

Have you also stopped your 6/3 option portfolio? If yes, how were results until you stopped? If no, how were result the last 3 years?
Let me say, you should be in the Guinness Book of world records for being able to follow this strategy pretty much mechanically for what, almost 25 years?
