$QYLD buys covered call strategies on the Nasdaq-100

What is a covered call/writing a call in simple terms?

Owning shares of the underlying security, selling someone the right to purchase those shares above a specific price (strike price) - seller receives a premium đź’° (thread)

A covered call is a neutral to bearish position

The best scenario is the price of the stock goes up but not over the strike price - simultaneously keeping your shares of the underlying security AND receiving your premium.

Under all outcomes you will receive a premium!

If you noticed the term "underlying security" which includes stocks, ETFs, etc.

$QYLD owns companies in the Nasdaq-100 and turns around and write's calls on the index.

3/ My thoughts

I own some of the top holdings of the Nasdaq-100, however I don't have enough capital to own 100 shares (required amount) of $NVDA let's say-$53.2k worth

This gives me a hands off way of doing these strategies w/ capturing insane dividends in an overheated market
