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 […]
NextEra Energy Partners (NEP) was a dividend growth superstar for almost a decade. The company increased its dividend every quarter by 3% to 4%, giving 15% annual dividend growth. The average yield of 4% or so put NEP’s yearly compound total returns in the very high teens. However, the way NEP structured the debt it […]
The universe of high-yield, covered call option strategy ETFs continues to grow. Our ETF Income Edge service provides research and recommendations concerning this type of ETF. I review the investment strategies and historical returns for dozens of these funds for the newsletter. Since many of them are so new, I revisit them every few months […]
Today I continue what I have been calling my dogfight series, pitting two single-stock covered call ETFs, using the same underlying stock, against each other. YieldMax invented the single-stock covered call ETF in 2023. It now has 25 of these ETFs covering different popular stocks. And in October 2023, Kurv funds launched six single-stock covered […]

During my time as a fighter pilot, a one-versus-one dogfight was one of the most challenging types of flights. This type of mission pitted one pilot’s skills against his opponent. This air combat training was not the type of mission where you wanted to come home second best. The new category of single stock covered-call […]
Dear Investor, I have encouraged my Dividend Hunter subscribers to put our high-yield, monthly dividends on automatic dividend reinvestment for at least the last six months. I contend that automatic reinvestment through a market downturn and recovery will quickly build wealth. Today, let me show you a little math to prove that investment hypothesis – […]
Dear Investor, Last week, the stock markets were shocked to discover from the Federal Reserve that interest rates might actually move higher this year. Too many years at near-zero interest rates have corrupted the investing process. While we should welcome higher interest rates, getting there won’t be painless. Investors should prepare for more stock market […]
If you buy stocks for capital gains, it is currently a difficult market in which to invest and earn acceptable returns. Today’s hot stock is very likely to crash tomorrow. The winners of 2020 are falling in 2021. And despite the big daily gains you see on the financial news and tremendous price volatility, the […]
