XYLD News and Press, GLOBAL X FDS From 11/07/22

Summary I looked at RYLD, QYLD, and XYLD since the beginning of 2021, and RYLD has been the superior covered-call fund from Global X. Since its inception in 2019, RYLD has paid $9.24 per share through 42 consecutive distributions, which is a 36.95% yield on its initial share price...

Summary The early line from the prediction betting polls expect the Republicans to gain seats and control both houses of Congress. That could put a check mark on the side of the market bears and put a crimp on markets, as the gridlock in DC means no more stimulus until 2025. The t...

Summary Expectations coming into Thursday’s CPI and Core CPI print are leaning “heavy” so to speak, meaning the street is expecting another hot number. Inflation matters to bond yields and bond yields matter to stock P/E levels and valuations. It’s all ...

Summary The stock market appears to be hedging only for the CPI day of risk. That may be a problem because the CPI estimates appear to be too low. That means stocks may be vulnerable to a big drop on a hot CPI report this week. With the consumer price index on deck, ...

Summary The 2020 to 2021 period will likely go down in history as an extraordinary time in which financial markets remained resilient in the face of lockdowns, quarantines and economic shutdowns. However, as is often the case, the law of gravity eventually prevailed, removing much...
