QYLD: A Fund That Carries More Risk In The Current Market Environment
The options strategy QYLD uses is not ideal for the kind of more volatile market conditions the indexes are currently seeing. Even though this fund should pay more income in the short term, the principle of this ETF. The managers of this Global X fund do not use discretion with their options strategy, so this ETF will likely have a harder time adapting to more fluid market conditions.

QYLD: The Nasdaq Buy-Write ETF I Tend To Avoid
Buy-write ETFs like Global X NASDAQ 100 Covered Call ETF offer high income but lack capital preservation, making them less ideal compared to JEPQ and GPIQ. What concerns me is not the fund itself, which is transparent and well-structured with a rules-based approach, but rather the strategy behind it. QYLD's 100% covered-call strategy limits its ability to capitalize on Nasdaq-100's growth, leading to long-term capital erosion.

QYLD: Old And Out Of Style
The Global X NASDAQ 100 Covered Call ETF offers a straightforward buy-write strategy, providing high income at the cost of capital gains. QYLD has underperformed the Nasdaq 100 index and newer competing ETFs in terms of total returns and yield, despite its competitive distribution. While QYLD is stable and free of manager risk, newer ETFs like GPIQ and QDTE offer better upside potential and higher returns.

QYLD Vs. SPYI: I Prefer QYLD For 2 Reasons
Since my last writings, the changes in implied volatility are more in favor of SPYI than QYLD. However, I see more important factors that can counterbalance this and thus like QYLD better. In my consideration of these funds, their primary roles are A) to generate high income net of fees, and B) to reduce portfolio's correlation with the overall market.

My QYLD Pair Trade Hasn't Delivered Much, But I Won't Be Switching To QQCC
QYLD and other Global X covered call ETFs offer high yields without relying on obscure companies, making them attractive, especially for those cautious about current market valuations. QYLD and QQCC's monthly options strategy makes them less vulnerable to short-term volatility compared to same-day option expiry ETFs like QDTE. My pair trade of Shorting Nasdaq 100 Futures against QYLD has only delivered a small profit in the past year. However, the combo can still deliver income approaching ~15% if there's a pause in the bull market run.
