What’s the risk with high yield covered call ETF Let me start by saying I’m somewhat “new” and don’t really take this too seriously. However I came across JEPQ, it pays good monthly div.
My question is, (besides diversification) why wouldn’t everyone drop every penny they have in this for the div?
Someone mentioned to me “that etf is only for when you need money now. So unless you’re that person, buy something safer”
My response was, “wouldn’t everyone technically “need money now” to reinvest”
Anyways what’s the issue with this ETF, seems to good to be true imo. But as I said, I’m not very well educated on this topic.
There’s also SMCY which is actually better for dividend. Why wouldn’t everyone drop their money into this? What’s the difference between JEPQ and SMCY.
