Over the last couple of years, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that use covered call strategies to generate income have become the rage.

About a year ago, the SEC authorized the first Bitcoin ETFs. The early ETFs tracked the value of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies such as Ether. Another approach was to form ETFs that invest in companies involved in the cryptocurrency universe. The newest iteration of crypto ETFs are funds (now two of them) that use covered […]
Investors have watched stocks like Amazon and Nvidia soar but have been left wondering if there will ever be a way to get any dividends from them. Both stocks have taken off yet Nvidia yields a measly 0.03% (you read that right, 3/10ths of 1%) while Amazon pays no dividend at all. Enter single-stock covered […]
