“I am doing a test investment with NVDY to learn more about YieldMax, their trading strategy and technology. Hoping for some longevity and no decay, not just short term speculation worries. NVDY is about the longest offering of their funds at two years, with the most assets at $1.3B,” he said in a separate comment.

The fund has a distribution rate of about 52%. NVDY suits investors who believe in Nvidia’s long-term potential but want to hedge against possible declines in the chipmaker’s shares.

Altria

Altria (MO) was a high-yield stock in the portfolio of the investor who collected about $270,000 a year in retirement income. Altria has a 7.8% dividend yield and over 50 years of consecutive payout increases. Last month, Bank of America increased its price target on the stock to $65 from $55. The firm believes lower corporate taxes, tariffs and tighter border controls under the new U.S. administration could bode well for the tobacco company.

JPMorgan Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF

JPMorgan Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF (JEPQ) is a covered call ETF that distributes monthly dividend income. It invests in Nasdaq companies and generates extra income by selling call options.
