When I sold bonds in the 1990s, using a bond ladder—or even laddering CDs—allowed investors to maximize their investment yields and retain flexibility and liquidity. With the yield curve starting to steepen and the future of interest rates unknown, employing the current version of a bond ladder strategy can add safety and income to your […]
The 10 highest yield dividend stocks going ex-div this week. These are some of the top dividend stocks for this week.
This is the sixth (and final) comparison article in my current series. You can find the previous ones here. This will be the end of the series in which I compare single-stock ETF results. I have enjoyed putting together my “dog fight” series of articles, comparing the results of ETFs operating in the new category […]
This week, we are doing a covered call analysis on Apple (AAPL). The stock price has been pretty steady over the last few months. In the meantime, volatility has started to move higher as earnings will be released at the end of the month. These factors may provide a solid setup for a covered call […]
When the coronavirus pandemic-related shutdowns hit the economy, EPR Properties (EPR), a real estate investment trust (REIT), was possibly the hardest-hit stock in the U.S. It is a testament to the management team’s talents that EPR has again become an REIT that every income-focused investor should know.

The new category of single-stock covered-call ETFs has two sponsors offering competing funds covering the same underlying stocks. […]
This week, we are doing a covered call analysis on Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM). The stock price has been trading mostly within a range for the past six months. In the meantime, volatility has started to move higher in recent weeks. Both of these variables may be leading to a nice setup for a covered call […]
Over the last couple of years, there has been a massive increase in new ETFs that employ more advanced portfolio management and options strategies. Earlier this year, we launched our ETF Income Edge service to help investors navigate the sometimes-bewildering world of these new types of ETFs. For example, we explain how an ETF can […]
A one-versus-one dogfight is one of the most challenging types of flights. This type of mission pits one pilot’s skills against his opponent. This air combat training that I received when I was a fighter pilot was not the type of mission where you wanted to come home second best. Single stock covered-call ETFs have […]
This week, we are doing a covered call analysis on Ark Innovation ETF (ARKK). The stock price has been trading mostly within a range for the majority of the year. In the meantime, volatility has started to move higher in recent weeks. Both of these variables together could suggest a nice setup for a covered […]
