The gains from the so-called “Magnificent Seven” stocks powered the 2023–2024 bull market. These mega-cap tech stocks—Tesla, Microsoft, Nvidia, Meta Platforms, Amazon, Alphabet (Google), and Apple—comprise over a third of the cap-weighted stock market indexes. The only Magnificent Seven tracking ETF, the Roundhill Magnificent Seven Covered Call ETF (MAGY), launched on April 11, 2023, and […]
Seven large “mega-cap” stocks drove the bull market returns of 2023 and 2024.

Investors have watched stocks like Amazon and Nvidia soar but have been left wondering if there will ever be a way to get any dividends from them. Both stocks have taken off yet Nvidia yields a measly 0.03% (you read that right, 3/10ths of 1%) while Amazon pays no dividend at all. Enter single-stock covered […]

These ETFs provide investment exposure to popular stocks like Amazon and Nvidia, with the added benefit of attractive dividend yields from selling call options.

Single stock ETFs have become very popular with income investors. It’s no surprise considering they check all of the boxes for investors: double-digit yields, monthly dividends, and yield from hot sectors that normally pay little to no dividends. In today’s article we’re looking at funds that give you access to large-cap stocks like the Magnificent […]
