In my Dividend Hunter newsletter service, I recommend a portfolio of high-yield stocks and ETFs. I tell my subscribers to measure results by tracking quarter-to-quarter dividend income. I frequently talk about several reasons why an income-focused strategy works best for many investors. I follow my own advice with my retirement savings. I have a self-funded […]
March 7 marked two years since Roundhill Investments launched the first two zero-days-to-expiration (0DTE) covered call ETFs, the Roundhill S&P 500 0DTE Covered Call Strategy ETF (XDTE) and the Roundhill Innovation-100 0DTE Covered Call Strategy ETF (QDTE). (A third fund, the Roundhill Russell 2000 0DTE Covered Call Strategy ETF (RDTE), launched on September 9, 2024.) […]
Over the last few years, innovation in ETFs has been happening at a breakneck pace. When I see a new fund with a different strategy, I take a closer look and try to find a good investment use for it. Launched on February 18, 2026, the Roundhill S&P 500® Target 10 Managed Distribution ETF (TPAY) […]
The Debasement Trade discussion has become a popular topic on the financial news outlets. I thought I knew what it meant, but I wanted to dig deeper to understand better. A query using AI produced this: The debasement trade is a financial and investment strategy (or market narrative) that gained significant attention in 2025 and […]
Many new income investors are confused about when they need to hold stocks to collect dividends. Either they end up missing the dividend because they bought too late, or on the other side, they sold too early. Ongoing dividends from any stock are not guaranteed. A company’s board of directors will review the financial results […]
The major stock market indices peaked at the end of October 2025 and have essentially moved sideways, with considerable volatility, for the last three and a half months. You can see it graphically with the charted returns of QQQ and SPY. The option strategy ETFs with QQQ or SPY as their underlying assets are outperforming […]
I recently came across the term Paid FUD. It refers to the deliberate spreading of fear, uncertainty, and doubt (thus FUD). My newsletter subscribers regularly share information they found, sometimes putting a very negative spin on one of my recommended investments. Firms focused on short-selling have been known to issue negative “research reports” on stocks […]
One hazard of my work is that I spend too much time watching or listening (thanks, SiriusXM) to financial news networks. The bulk of the discussion revolves around what could go wrong with either an investment theme or specific stocks. My newsletter subscribers stay busy sending me the warnings about the next financial meltdown they’ve […]
With artificial intelligence dominating investors’ thoughts, there is a constant search for investment ideas to profit from the AI boom. Recently, one of my newsletter subscribers asked me about data center real estate investment trusts (REITs). They do exist, but I have not heard any discussion about them in the general AI investing talk. With […]
In early December, silver was headed toward $60 per ounce, and I told my team it would hit $80 in 2026. At that point, silver was up from $30 per ounce earlier in the year, and many wondered whether it was near a top. At the time, my $80 prediction was considered bold. Just mid […]
