or in a spreadsheet? A lot of brokerages offer paper-trading accounts and I think that would be more accurate. I'm going to give this a try.

And, yeah, we're due for a correction. I wonder if there's a way to simulate this scenario using only options -- buy puts and sell the calls against them? Sell naked calls? Might increase your expense, but reduce risk against a correction.

I'm pretty simple minded (buying/selling calls; sold my first put recently). I've read about various strategies, but your post inspires me to look a little deeper.
