My investment strategies and newsletter recommendations focus on income stocks and funds. Being able to count on the predictable nature of dividends is far better to trying to guess the direction of stock prices and counting on capital gains, which may or may not show up when needed. I also like commodities because they are […]
The YieldMax ETFs have caught investor attention with their very high-yield covered call single-stock ETFs. A recently launched ETF caught my eye and I am very curious how it will work out for investors. The YieldMax Gold Miners Option Income Strategy ETF (GDXY) launched on May 13.

I attribute the longevity of the Dividend Hunter to an effective investment strategy and an engaged subscriber base that helps me work every […]

However, another way to invest in the precious metal and earn cash income is through covered call option trading. And there’s a great […]

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.
