Precious metals, gold and silver, have posted great returns this year. The uptrend appears likely to continue. My newsletter services focus on dividend-paying investments, so I am always interested when a new ETF that generates income from a non-dividend-paying underlying asset hits the market. On September 29, Kurv Investment Management launched the Kurv Silver Enhanced […]
Last week, the price of WTI crude tumbled from $66.42 to $62.46 (a 6% drop) in just a couple of days. When the price of oil drops sharply, so do the share prices of energy stocks. If you know the types of energy companies to buy, buying the dip will pay off handsomely. The energy […]

I have been known to call closed-end funds (CEFs) the “junkyard of Wall Street.” A few good funds exist, but they are hard to dig out of the 387 publicly traded CEFs. One issue with closed-end funds is the widespread use of managed dividend policies.With a managed dividend policy, the fund managers set a dividend […]
The cryptocurrency Ethereum has gone through a wild ride over the last few years. The move higher from its April lows has been impressive, and many experts are predicting that Ethereum could move multiples higher still. The orange line on the chart shows the three-year track record of Ethereum. The Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust ETF […]
Investors looking for a predictable income stream combined with high yields might like Target Pay ETFs. You’ve probably heard of Target Date Funds.
