Q: Please ignore my previous question . I accidentally hit the send button before I had finished editing it .......Here is the same question after editing .......

I've been enjoying the amount of option related dividends going into my account monthly. I call it Taco investing . Trump announces something stupid and then backs off . This creates volatility in the options market creating higher option premiums . What I have ....

GDXY ...... 9% position .

SLVO ...... 3.2% position

HPYT ...... 3.79% position

HYLD ......6.72% position { the lowest yield at 11.2% } May replace wtih SDAY or start a new position .

I'm looking to increase my exposure to " honking big dividends " in the 14% or better category .... My shortlist includes UMAX { 14.83% yield } and ECAT { 22% yield } I realize the higher the yield the higher the risk.....But could 5i give me three names other than the two mentioned above that you think are interesting at 14% or better and three you find interesting above 18% ..... Accompanied by a brief comment on the risks ........ I used the word " interesting " as opposed to " what 5i likes " to reflect the associated risks of high yield investing ......Thanks for your terrific service .....

Q: I'm trying to understand HPYT and what factors will influence the market price . In Dec. 23 market price was $12.83 and yield was 14% . Today it is $8.91 and yield is 20% . Am I correct in assuming as the price drops the yield will rise ? I did notice that since inception HPYT has paid .15 cents a month . Up until the recent June payment which was .13 cents. Why the decrease ?

What factors influence the market price ? Interest rates I assume . What effect will rising interest rates have on the price ? And what effect will dropping interest rates have ?

What effect will a Taco tariff policy have on the price ?

Will the " Great Big Beautiful Bill " have an effect on the price ? Going to be a substantial increase in U.S. debt .....

Will the price be influenced by Trump's rhetoric of replacing Powell ? And what effect will that be ? .....I can't imagine Mr Market will react positively to a politically motivated Fed Chair .....

Can I slot this into the fixed income portion of my portfolio or is it too volatile ?
Basically I would like to know the various factors 5i feels will influence the price/yield of this security .....

Thanks for your terrific service .....

Q: Would I be correct in concluding that Trump's on again off again tariffs are good for covered call ETF's ? When he announces a tariff the market takes a dive. When he backs off the market rises ..... Under those conditions can not the call writers charge a higher premium ? I've noticed GDXY yielding 43% was at 52.9% the previous month. And SLVO is yielding 23.2% . Even the US treasury ETF HPYT is yielding 20% .....Even boring old UMAX a utility covered call ETF is yielding a hair under 16% ..... Do you see a relationship between the amount of the premiums covered call ETF's can get to " Yeah I'm going to tariff the snot out of you " to " Nah, i was just kidding " ..... market swings ?
Basically I'm wondering if Trump is the perfect storm for options .....
