A single ETF purchase made before most investors had ever heard the term changed what passive investing looks like today, but the original is no longer the obvious choice for everyone holding it.
I maintain a Buy rating on the S&P 500, seeing no imminent recession despite recent macro volatility and a hawkish Fed hike. Extraordinary earnings growth, with Q2 S&P 500 profits up over 50% YoY and rising analyst estimates, underpins my bullish stance.

Wells Fargo's chief equity strategist Ohsung Kwon lowered his year-end target for the S&P 500 Index, citing mounting risks in the technology sector. Kwon is one of the few strategists on Wall Street to trim his forecast in recent weeks, cutting his call to 7,700 from 7,950.
Call-writing S&P 500 ETFs can all differ in overwrite aggressiveness, option tenor, and upside participation, impacting performance in various market regimes. In flat or slightly downward markets, funds with a larger notional value overwrite can tend to outperform due to elevated premium collection. On the other hand, the lower overwrite percentages and laddered call strategies better capture upside in rising or volatile markets, making them stronger performers.
TPAY promises a 10% annual distribution while keeping you fully invested in the S&P 500, and it skips the covered-call playbook entirely to do it. But that unconventional approach comes with a hidden cost most investors overlook before buying in.
