Last week, I introduced a solution to a problem many of us face: we don’t have enough saved for retirement. Or the problem might be that we simply want more money now. The solution lies in compounding, but not in the way most financial planners describe it. They’re right that compounding is key, but they […]
In February, we launched the ETF Income Edge service to help investors sort through the rapidly growing world of high-yield (mostly) option-strategy ETFs. To find the best ETFs to recommend to subscribers, I maintain a database of this type of fund. As I write this, I have 82 option strategy ETFs on my results tracking […]
This week, we are doing a covered call analysis on NVIDIA (NVDA). The stock price has been in a bullish trend for several months. Recent earnings results suggest the bull trend could continue, or at least the stock may stick in a sideways pattern for the time being. We are looking at NVDA because there […]
I don’t look at fixed income based exclusively on Wall Street expectations. The news media and large investment firms like to play the interest rate game, investing based on where they think interest rates will go. I prefer using fixed-income investments to generate stable, high-yield cash income streams. Recently, one of my favorite income ETFs […]
I believe financial advisers often seem to assume their clients have a time machine. They like to explain that, with enough time, anyone can enjoy a financially secure retirement. For example, if you invest $200 a month every month for 40 years, your account will be worth $1.2 million if stocks gain an average of […]
Single-stock covered call ETFs have become a hot investment category. Investors are drawn to yields of 50% to more than 100% on underlying stocks like Tesla, NVIDIA, Meta, Palantir, and Coinbase. These ETFs pay great yields derived from selling call options. If you invest in one or more, you want the underlying stock to also […]
This week, we are doing a covered put analysis on Tesla (TSLA). The stock price has gone straight up over the last week or so, since the election. At the same time, volatility has remained elevated despite the higher move in the share price, which suggests there could be some downside risk. Once things settle […]
Bitcoin recently exploded from the $55,000-to-$65,000 trading range it had been in for months. As I write this, Bitcoin trades at $88,000, and it seems destined to crack the magical $100,000 level. I have long been a Bitcoin skeptic, but some new ETFs in the market have me all in to join the run to […]
The shipping stocks sector has been in a five-month severe decline. I have a couple of shipping companies in the Dividend Hunter portfolio, and the stock charts are not pretty. Should we average down, or will this get worse? The SonicShares Global Shipping ETF (BOAT) has 50 component stocks in its portfolio. The ETF’s 52-week […]
This week, we are doing a covered call analysis on Tesla (TSLA). The stock price soared after the election given Musk’s positive association with the new regime. Meanwhile, volatility has remained elevated despite the higher move in the share price. Once things settle down a bit, this stock may be an interesting choice for a […]
