The universe of high-yield, option strategy ETFs continues to explode, with new funds launching every week. Last week, I added three new ETFs to my database. Of the 85 ETFs I am tracking and watching, 33 are less than one year old. Newly launched ETFs typically come with a new approach to the option strategy […]
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Single-stock covered call ETFs have become a hot investment category. Investors are drawn to yields of 50% to more than 100% on underlying stocks like Tesla, NVIDIA, Meta, Palantir, and Coinbase. These ETFs pay great yields derived from selling call options. If you invest in one or more, you want the underlying stock to also […]
Bitcoin recently exploded from the $55,000-to-$65,000 trading range it had been in for months. As I write this, Bitcoin trades at $88,000, and it seems destined to crack the magical $100,000 level. I have long been a Bitcoin skeptic, but some new ETFs in the market have me all in to join the run to […]
The shipping stocks sector has been in a five-month severe decline. I have a couple of shipping companies in the Dividend Hunter portfolio, and the stock charts are not pretty. Should we average down, or will this get worse? The SonicShares Global Shipping ETF (BOAT) has 50 component stocks in its portfolio. The ETF’s 52-week […]
My ETF Income Edge services provide investment ideas to subscribers from the rapidly growing world of option strategy and ultra-high-yield ETFs. I have a research universe of over 70 ETFs (and growing!) funds that I review regularly to bring the best ideas to my newsletter subscribers. For ETFs with a long enough track record, I […]
