This week, we are doing yet another covered call analysis on Super Micro Computer (SMCI). The stock has been very interesting since it plunged a few weeks ago based on accounting concerns, but has since regained much of the losses. In the meantime, volatility remains at very elevated levels. If the rebound holds, this stock […]
With a current yield near 20%, investors are wondering whether NextEra Energy Partners (NEP) is a high-yield deal, or a dividend cut trap. Let’s look at what brought us here and make some guesses about NEP’s future. From its IPO a decade ago until September last year, NEP was a dividend growth investor’s dream stock. […]
Last week, I told you about myself. The most important thing about me is what I learned from an old trader who liked to tell me “To know what everyone knows is to know nothing.” This led me to develop a unique indicator, my Income Trader Volatility (ITV) tool. This week I want to describe […]
As the ranks of option strategy ETFs continue to grow, it’s interesting to see which strategies fund sponsors will pick to set their ETFs apart from the crowd. The Defiance Income Target ETFs definitely follow a different approach. It will be interesting to see how they work out as they build up time in the […]
This week, we are doing a covered call analysis on Super Micro Computer (SMCI). The stock price plummeted last month after the company’s auditor unexpectedly quit, but the stock has recovered some recently. In the meantime, volatility remains elevated. If the rebound holds, this stock may be an interesting choice for a covered call. We […]
Since the pandemic, Rithm Capital (RITM) has dramatically expanded its business operations; it now functions as a global asset manager. But, the market continues to price RITM as if it were still a narrowly focused finance REIT. Over the last few years, Rithm has expanded its business to offer a wide range of finance and […]
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 […]
