This study is from 2006, but interesting nonetheless.

I have a hard time relying on Goldman's advice, but in this case it's pretty much motherhood and apple pie:

Investors who hold S&P 500 exposure as part of their investment policy and who are looking for low-risk enhancement strategies may wish to take a close look at the opportunities offered by the liquid short-term index option markets.

You could really substitute any long position for the "s&p 500 exposure" and end up with a suggestion that writing covered calls may enhance returns.

Thanks for posting the link.
