You are right .. most investors somehow think that all the covered calls are a free lunch.. Until it dawns on them that their NAV is degrading..Thanks for the info. Nice Job!
Id subscribe then. I built my portfolio already but as dividend kings/aristocrat's fall off i will have to replace them. 50%usd 50% cad dividends currently.
I am now a paid subscriber because of this NAV post. There is so much talk about NAV erosion, but not a lot of 'action' so to speak. I already owned some BTCI, but did not really know where it ranked on the NAV erosion list. It was surprising to say the least. Thanks for the info, and keep up the good work.
Are there any dividend seeking individual investors who simply invest their own portfolio into a stock (or stocks or broad index) and then write covered calls themselves, thus eliminating the fees associated with the ETF management middleman?
Thank your response. What is your viewpoint on the efficiency of writing your own covered calls on stock or funds that you hold? Have you found it worth the time and effort, or are some of these covered call ETFs really providing a good value to the retail investor? Because I don't know. I've heard that the ETF providers have an economy of scale, and get better deals on the call options they sell, than the retail investor can get.
I think some of the fund managers are excellent, and it's definitely worth paying their fund fees (which is usually somewhere around 1% - 1.3%) to have them trading options that you can profit off of.
I also think that if you're going to invest in covered calls ETFs, it's worthwhile to do some covered call (and synthetic covered call) trading yourself so you understand the market dynamics. Having this knowledge will help you evaluate if you think the fund manager for an ETF is any good or not.
Dude, this is amazing! Your posts are absolutely brilliant.
Thanks so much for sharing - can't wait to see what you post next!
Thank you so much!

You're right! Hard to find reliable NAV data.
It truly is!
Any chance you could toss in some canadian tickers also?
Planning on adding them! :)

Arnt US and Canadian dividends taxed. How much then is the effective dividend after tax?
Tax depends on many variables. This video explains: https://youtu.be/JReouq4Ks1Y
How do I get access to the Covered Call ETF DB?
Will be releasing to paid subs in about 1 month!

Yes, I've done this. And I also sell covered calls on covered call ETFs.
