Why S&P 500 BuyWrite ETFs Like PBP And XYLD Don't Deliver
PBP, XYLD track S&P 500 BuyWrite well, but the BuyWrite strategy underperforms the S&P 500 in most market conditions. Volatility levels are too low for effective premium collection, making S&P 500 a poor choice for BuyWrite strategies. Income generation from PBP, XYLD can be simulated by withdrawing capital from SPY, yielding better overall returns at similar tax implications.

My Income Portfolio: In The Garden Of Eden
Total Return can be misleading if not supported by NAV growth, as it may include unsustainable distributions and Return of Capital. Behavioral finance shows markets are irrational, making it crucial to consider practical aspects beyond theoretical Total Return calculations. I believe that NAV performance can affect our discretion in the reinvestment choices for the distributions we receive from our savings much more than Total Return.

My Income Portfolio: Financial Awareness
The essence of financial awareness is to realize that money can work for us through our investments. Understanding the value of money is the first step toward financial education, which leads to the selection of the most appropriate tools for developing that awareness. In my case, the instruments I have adopted are largely high-income vehicles, with monthly and, in some cases, quarterly distribution.

My 9.5% Income Portfolio-Like Mosaic Tiles
Our investments, usually conceived and implemented gradually over time, are the pieces of a personal mosaic that form the whole of our assets. One solution for entering the financial markets can be Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA), a form of investing a constant amount at regular intervals. However, initiating a plan to buy stocks according to the logic of DCA presupposes awareness of the fluctuations in financial markets and their psychological implications.
