Make Your Fixed Income ETFs More Interesting With Options

ETFs, Options

Even with rates going higher, fixed income ETFs don’t tend to move all that much. One way to amplify your cash flow from a fixed income product is by using options.

BKLN has only moved in a $2 range this year, so selling put spread is one way to potentially juice the returns for an otherwise stagnant product.
