Two years (and a few months) ago, we launched our ETF Income Edge service to help investors profitably invest in the rapidly growing world of option strategy, high-yield ETFs sporting yields like 15%, 25%, even 40% or more.

Recently, I read an interesting article in The Epoch Times discussing the condition of the U.S. power grid. It was not a confidence-inspiring read. However, the grid’s challenges offer some investment opportunities. The article is quite long, and you can read it here. Here are some data points that caught my attention: ● The U.S. power […]
In my world of income investing research and publishing, it’s easy to get wrapped up in reviewing the newest, hottest investment ideas. I’ve added more than 80 funds to my option-strategy ETF database over the last two years. These new funds are exciting, but our goal is to generate stable high-yield income, and some old […]
After gaining 65% in 2025, gold continued higher by another 28% (from the 2025 close) to peak at over $5,500 per ounce on January 28, 2026.

During the second half of 2025, gold and silver posted tremendous gains. Gold gained $1,000, or 32%, from the end of June through the end of December, closing the year at $4,320 per ounce. Silver had an even hotter ride, doubling in value for the half year and gaining 144% for the full year. The […]
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) […]
