Q: UMAX has been going straight down since 2022. Time to let it go? I have individual utility stocks ( ACO.X, BIPC, BIP, BEP, CU, FTS,
H.TO ).
If so what dividend paying replacement would be suggested, or just keep it, or sell it and add to my winning covered call ETF's ( NXF, HDIV, HMAX, HYLD, IWO, NXF, QMAX, SMAX, VDC, VDY, XLY, ZQQ, ZRE, ZWE, ZWH.U)?
Healthy 80 year old value /dividend investor with stocks and ETF's in all sectors with an outlook of 5-10 YEARS (I hope).

Q: It's almost too good to be true. I have owned HMX for 2.5 months and have a 5.82% share price gain on top of the monthly paid12% (annual) dividend. I understand that the underlying sector - financials - has been on a hot roll. Let's assume that banks were suddenly flat. How would that impact the share price performance and their ability to sustain the lofty dividend? i.e. can this potentially be a long term hold or am I just riding a wave?

Secondly how do you feel about the two sister ETFs HDIV and UMAX?

Thank you

Q: There are Covered Call ETFs with mighty high yields: HPYT 18%; SMAX 10%; HMAX 10%; and HDIV 9%. These yiieds are so high that I feel there must be a downside, so my question is, what are my risks in using these ETFs as part of my income portfolio?
Thank you.
