This week, we are doing a covered call analysis on Coinbase (COIN). The stock price has been in something of a downtrend in recent months, with the shares well off their highs. In the meantime, volatility has been subsiding, but remains high compared to most other stocks. We are looking at COIN because there is […]
Are you like me and feel the U.S. election season goes on far too long? It seems like as soon as one election ends, the political class starts agitating for the next one. During an election year, it gets absolutely out of control. I blame a lot of it on the news media, where politics […]
This week, we are doing a covered call analysis on JPMorgan Chase (JPM). The stock price has steadily risen this year, for the most part, with the shares up over 20% so far. In the meantime, volatility remains elevated enough to make covered calls potentially attractive. We are looking at JPM because there is a […]

This air combat training was not the type of mission where you wanted to come home second best. The new category of single stock covered-call […]
The carbon-free renewable energy craze has about run its course. Wind and solar power don’t work without massive government subsidies and tax credits. They also don’t work when the sun doesn’t shine, or the wind doesn’t blow. Still, humanity needs reliable energy.

This air combat training was not the type of mission where you wanted to come home second best. The new category of single stock covered-call ETFs now […]

These funds don’t pay large dividend yields, but the options overlay strategy does impact total returns. Let’s look at the three Overlay Shares equity ETFs and some return results.

This week, we are doing a covered call analysis on NVIDIA (NVDA). The stock price has tumbled since earnings a week ago. However, volatility remains elevated, and is potentially high enough to make covered calls attractive. We are looking at NVDA because there is a single stock covered call ETF from YieldMax, NVDY, that could […]
A funny thing happened on the path to massive expansion of wind and solar energy production. That thing is Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI needs massive data centers, which need 99.99999% reliable electric power around the clock. By their very nature, wind and solar power are not reliable enough to provide power 100% of the time.
