The timing of the launch of our new ETF Income Edge service was very fortunate—I see newly announced ETFs in this category hit my inbox almost daily, usually two or three at a time. We research, review, and recommend ETFs that use options strategies to boost yields or returns. Many of these funds, especially some […]

In 48-Hour Income, the goal of the service is to generate 1% to 3% returns per week by selling 2-day puts in certain stocks. GPS put premiums were elevated at the time due to upcoming earnings.

I have been a fan of one particular LNG company for several years. It is on a tremendous growth trajectory. Unfortunately, the market has not shared my enthusiasm, and the stock price has been range-bound for over three years. A recent announcement shows how this company’s business operations and infrastructure development have put it in […]
