20 Ideal 'Safer' MoPay November Dividend Equities And 80 Funds To Buy
November's top monthly pay (MoPay) dividend stocks offer high yields, with most generating annual dividends from a $1,000 investment exceeding their share price. Analyst estimates suggest the top ten MoPay equities could deliver 21.58% to 86.54% total returns by November 2026, though risks and volatility remain elevated. Twenty MoPay stocks are identified as "safer" picks, meeting the criteria of positive free cash flow yields and strong dividend coverage, serving as starting points for further research.

RDTE: An Imperfect Short-Volatility Product
Roundhill Russell 2000 0DTE Covered Call Strategy ETF aims to capture the Russell 2000 upside while shorting daily volatility for weekly income. RDTE's strategy struggles due to high volatility, illiquid options, and a high expense ratio, leading to NAV decay and underperformance. The ETF only performs well in rare, choppy markets; trending or volatile regimes erode returns and cap upside.

RDTE Provides High Income On The Russell 2000 Index
The Roundhill Russell 2000 0DTE Covered Call Strategy ETF (RDTE) offers a high 41.5% yield via a synthetic covered call strategy on the Russell 2000 Index. RDTE outperforms the Russell 2000 and peer covered call ETFs in flat or declining markets, but may lag during strong bull runs due to capped upside. Distributions are sourced from return of capital, making RDTE especially attractive for taxable accounts, retirees, and estate planning strategies.

RDTE: Strategy Aligns Perfectly With Small Cap Behavior
RDTE offers a unique covered call strategy on the Russell 2000, capturing upside and generating high income with weekly payouts. Despite a 20% NAV drop since inception, RDTE maintains aggressive ~32% yield, blending option income with capital return for stable dividends. RDTE has outperformed both IWM and RYLD, thanks to its overnight naked position and effective option writing, especially in gradual small-cap markets.

RDTE: Options Do Not Save Stocks
Despite its complex options strategy, RDTE's total return performance is shown to be very similar to the underlying Russell 2000 index (represented by IWM). RDTE generates a very high distribution yield (e.g., over 40%) by selling daily 0DTE call options on the Russell 2000. However, this is largely a return of principal. RDTE creates its Russell 2000 exposure synthetically using deep in-the-money call options, rather than holding the individual stocks. It then sells daily 0DTE (zero-day-to-expiry) out-of-the-money calls against this exposure.

RDTE: Not An Ideal Time To Focus On Small-Cap Income (Rating Downgrade)
RDTE's strategy of selling 0DTE options and offering high distributions has led to a significant decline in price, underperforming traditional small-cap ETFs. The current high-interest rate environment and market volatility have negatively impacted RDTE, making it difficult for the fund to generate sufficient income. Despite a high dividend yield, RDTE's distributions are entirely from return of capital, indicating the underlying strategy isn't sustainable.

RDTE: Small Caps And Income Are 2 Of My Favorite Things
RDTE offers high yield and outperformance of the Russell 2000 through a unique 0DTE covered call strategy, making it a compelling income vehicle. The fund's impressive 34% distribution rate, though volatile, provides favorable tax treatment through return-of-capital distributions, enhancing its appeal for income-focused investors. I recommend RDTE for aggressive income investors with up to a 5% allocation, and moderate to conservative investors with 3% and 2% allocations respectively.
