Which Asset Class Had the Best Performance During the 2008 Financial Crisis?

In this article, I want to explore which asset, ETFs, MFs, Stocks, did best during the 2008 financial crisis. I will compare the investment results against the result of SPY, since it represents the overall market. The scenario is investing right at the highest point of S&P 500 index right before it crashed during the crisis. The date is Oct 9, 2007  when the index reached 1,565.15. I will compare the returns of each asset against SPY in the following order: Investing until the bottom of the crisis at 676.53 on Mar 09, 2009 in order to simulate downside risk. Investing until the S&P 500 index closed above the previous high at 1,568.61 on Apr 09, 2013 in order to simulate recover ability. Investing until the bottom of the Covid crisis at 2,304.92 on Mar 20, 2020 in order to simulate a series of market crashes.

Although there is no real face value in the covered call positions, we still need to know how many stocks are covered by a short call contract. An option contract covers 100 shares of stock, so if I want to build a covered call position, I need to buy 100 shares of SPY for $373 with a total of $373*100 = $37,300. Already crazy. If I do a covered call once and the call option gets executed, I will have to sell stocks worth of about $37,300. How many times do I get to do this if I am not so rich? The mini-option of XSP, though a smaller contract size than SPX, still has this problem of one contract requires a lot of money for the underlying assets. XSP prices at 37...
