I am an individual investor who is currently using options on exchange traded funds for capital growth.I sell both put and call options on SPY (S&P500 index) close to the current market price. I also buy protective puts.I generally sell options two months out to maximise my return on investment. Can you advise me if it is a good and safe strategy?

Sounds to me like you are a little more advanced than the teenagers on this site! I can not give you advice … can you give me some? Why not stocks? I am into [GW] Grey Wolf and [GE] General Electric. What are your thoughts?
For spdr is sideways you should trade futures options for sp500 instead becuase the premium for sp500 instead becuase the premium for spdr is too little good luck.

The downside and your profit is limited to your profit is like skydiving without parachute.
The absolute worst strategy you are expecting the market to the market to go unless you are you expect the market to the downside and unlimited risk to be range bound its the market to the absolute worst strategy you could possibly use you expecting the upside and unlimited risk to go.
