NVDA remains strong despite tech in-sector shifts, with a bullish long-term trend and upcoming Q3 earnings report expected to show significant growth. NVDY, a covered-call ETF on NVDA, has performed well, offering attractive yields and mitigating downside risk during NVDA's weaker periods. NVDA's implied volatility is lower than in August, but I still assert that NVDY is a compelling buy ahead of NVDA's earnings and potential seasonal weakness in shares of NVIDIA.
YieldMax NVDA Option Income Strategy ETF generates high income by trading options on Nvidia stock, offering up to 55% annualized yield. NVDY employs synthetic covered calls and credit call spreads, benefiting from Nvidia's volatility to maximize option premiums and distribute monthly income. NVDY's 145% total return in the past year highlights its income-focused strategy, though it differs from NVDA's growth-oriented approach.
Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) has been an incredible stock to own.
Nvidia Corporation is not a stock I normally look to for my main dividend portfolio, but the chart picture is such that I did so indirectly, via the covered call YieldMax NVDA Option Income Strategy ETF. But the driver to that decision was my analysis of NVDA, from a technical, sentiment and quantitative standpoint, as detailed here. My core approach involves “portfolio engineering” to maximize returns and minimize significant losses, diverging from traditional buy-and-hold strategies. This is the latest example.
YieldMax NVDA Option Income Strategy ETF aims to generate income through actively managed Nvidia options and short-term US Treasuries. The strategy involves complex options trading, including long-long, long-short, short-long, and short-short positions, with limited upside but full downside exposure to NVDA's price movements. Given the strong distribution rate and limited upside potential, I rate NVDY with a HOLD rating with a target allocation of 1-2%.
Option selling, while popular for higher income, is often misunderstood and carries significant risks. YieldMax NVDA Option Income Strategy ETF uses synthetic long positions and options strategies to generate income. We explain the option strategy involved and why this gets a big upgrade over a direct Nvidia investment.
Covered call ETFs, especially these two, trade some upside potential for very high yields. It's important to know how these funds work before you invest.
Highly focused exchange-traded funds change the equation for investors. Option income ETFs can be a good income choice, but the option strategy matters.
NVDA has seen volatile price action in the last two months, reaching a peak above $140 and a low of just above $90. NVDY, an ETF that writes call options on NVDA, has seen a surge in assets under management to close to $1 billion. With NVDA reporting earnings on August 28, NVDY's covered call strategy could be a winning idea for investors, especially with high implied volatility levels.
Recent Economy data, back to normal, may signal good buying opportunity in the growth market, in particular growth income ETFs. NVDY ETF offers 60.66% yield, monthly payment, and exposure to NVDA's market leadership in AI chip growth. NVDY's ultra income can be reinvested, in NVDA for long-term gain, or invested in NVDL for faster gain, with associated risks.
NVDY offers a 70.33% yield through option overlay strategy. NVDY does not own shares of NVDA, exposing investors to downside risk. Author prefers direct ownership of NVDA and writing covered calls for income over investing in NVDY.
