With Bitcoin recently setting record highs, interest in crypto-related stocks is also at an all-time high. Our ETF Income Edge service researches and recommends high-yield ETFs that pay exceedingly attractive yields. My subscribers have been asking about a newly launched crypto ETF. There are actually two high-yield ETFs whose portfolios focus on cryptocurrency stocks. Let’s […]
After receiving SEC approval, Bitcoin ETFs, as well as other cryptocurrency ETFs, were first launched in January 2024, just over a year ago. As of the end of June, assets in Bitcoin funds reached $131 billion. The ETF database that I use as a starting point for my various ETF investing newsletters currently lists 25 […]
My investment newsletters enroll hundreds of new subscribers every month. My tactics and strategies differ significantly from mainstream financial “advice,” allowing me to frequently discuss how my approach to building income and wealth is distinct and compelling. Each of my newsletters focuses on dividends and building an income stream. Dividends are predictable—share prices, not so […]
Confession: I had little interest in cryptocurrencies until companies started offering covered call strategy ETFs using Bitcoin. These funds provide me and my subscribers with an excellent opportunity to make money.

The solution lies in compounding, but not in the way most financial planners describe it. They’re right that compounding is key, but they […]
A relatively new ETF with a funny name has posted massive returns since it launched 18 months ago. The question is, has this ETF broken the code for great ongoing returns, or should investors be wary? Let’s look at how the -1x Short VIX Mid-Term Futures Strategy ETF (ZIVB) functions and review the investment results. […]
The hot consumer price index (CPI) number last Friday has caused major damage to the equity markets. Volatility has remained elevated. There seems to be no relief in sight regarding the inflation numbers that we are seeing across industries—and, most importantly, in our daily expenses. The Federal Reserve will do what it can to increase […]
The markets are ugly. This market crash is ugly. Volatility, as measured by the Cboe Volatility Index (VIX) just spiked to 32.76. Traders are running scared. Stocks are plunging. Inflation is out of control. Central banks are racing to cool inflation. The Dow fell from its April 2022 high of about 35,500 to 30,663. There […]
