XQQI: A Better NDX Income Structure I Won't Buy Yet
NEOS Boosted Nasdaq-100 High Income ETF marries 50% NDX leverage with partial, far-OTM covered calls (~44% of leveraged exposure)—a rare leveraged-covered-call variety I genuinely admire structurally and rate the approach highly long-term.

The strike, no-spread, partial-overwrite tilt gears XQQI toward upside capture over income—great for grind-ups and sharp rallies, weak in flat, choppy, or pressured tapes.

USD/JPY Threatens Breakout on Bull Pennant Resistance Test
USD/JPY is on the verge of testing a breakout and I think this is an important time to revisit the manner, as I've seen multiple retail traders pointing to 163 as a point of possible resistance with the hope that the Japanese government might take effort to defend the level. This seems very similar to the episode we had back in 2022 at 150, or 2024 with 151.95 and then 160.
