That’s great! Did you also know you can sell covered calls on those holdings as well? I plan to do a follow up video on that soon, it’s like covered-call-ception!
Have you found any others you like or like these? I looked into a few others but didn’t find any with strategies similar to this that generate anywhere near the income
I did a video on DIVO recently, they don’t have the same strategy as JEPI or JEPQ- DIVO - How to Amplify and Enhance the Amplify CWP Enhanced Dividend Income ETF ruclips.net/video/VRYsM6XqBaE/видео.html
Thanks for the question! If you hold these in a taxable account, only a small percentage of each monthly distribution is considered qualified dividends and taxed more favorably. The majority (80% or so) are non-qualified dividends which means they are taxed as ordinary income at whatever your marginal tax rate (the tax rate of the last dollar earned) is so it will vary by each person’s income. I hope that helps!
I have JEPI, JEPQ and BSTZ. Making nice dividends each month and they pay my mortgage. Going to add TLTW for the 17.68 dividend and then for the conservative part of my portfolio is SCHD and QQQ. Already have a police pension so i can take a risk more then others. In fact 80 percent of my portfolio is in Tesla stock!
That BSTZ expense ratio is out of control. While the pension does allow you to take on additional risk, do you think allocating 80% to one company is prudent? Does the fact they are reducing their prices and auto demand is down across all companies weigh into your decision?
@@tradeinyourjob BSTZ does have a hefty fee but it has potential for large capitol growth, it’s like AARK with large dividends. Yup, it’s a risk but as an expert in the company I am pretty confident that it will continue growing and potential to return back to 400 a share!
@@Nick_Nekro Basically for me BST has 9.06 and BSTZ has 12.29. I am already retired so I live off the dividends and my gov pension. Both similar, but BSTZ has more start up tech and genome companies which are the future. BSTZ also has an ending time in like 10 years, but Blackrock will probably make it permanent. Also its at a rock bottom price so good possibilty without even dripping I could triple my investment, but yes the fees are high but worth it as the managers are wizards. The other two JEPI which is the SandP and JEPQ which is the Naz, give me a well rounded portfolio. I may add TLTW which is exposure to bond and a 17 percent div and SCHD for the growth part of my portfolio but I get my crazy growth off Tesla stock.
I own both and also sell covered calls on them. They are very different in their approaches and go off of different indexes to choose their portfolios. I published a video on SCHD recently in case you have not seen it yet: Is SCHD the King of ETFs? Deep Dive, covered calls, cash secured outs ruclips.net/video/HR4vh1FHOk0/видео.html
Thanks for the question! Yes, but there is also more downside risk since it somewhat targets to track the QQQs. The QQQs have more volatility than the S&P 500 due to the underlying holdings. JEPQ will likely have bigger price action than JEPI in both directions
Next year end in retirement I feel like they would be a good vehicle for passive income while hedging large losses in the market appreciate your thoughts enjoy the video thank you thank you
Thanks for the question! I can't recommend specific asset allocations for individuals because that would be specific investment advice and it would be irresponsible for anyone to recommend without seeing the whole picture. What I can say though in general, if you think these match your risk tolerance, time horizon and goals, it would make sense to hold these in an tax advantaged account because the dividends they pay are not qualified dividends. If you hold them in a taxable account you would pay taxes on the distributions each year instead of deferring them in an Trad IRA or ROTH IRA. As far as how much to devote to any holding, it depends on your other positions and the overall risk of your portfolio.
Thanks for the question! Options premiums vary with implied volatility. The options premiums on the Nasdaq (JEPQ) are higher than those on the S&P500 (JEPI) since tech has been more volatile. More volatility in the index means higher implied volatility which equals higher premiums. The less volatile a stock is the lower the premium you will receive because the price isn’t likely to move as much.
Have you gotten a chance to watch my video on QYLD? QYLD sells at the money calls on 100% of the portfolio so it operates much differently than JEPQ. QYLD is only designed to spit out income and is not a growth ETF because of how it operates. Here’s the video- QYLD: Will price ever recover?

Secret that most people overlook on these two is to make sure you drip at least 20 percent in when you get paid. I am getting paid on Monday and will drip 20 percent to both. It makes them grow. I call it Feeding the Pig. Just these two alone pay my house payment and love making money for doing nothing.
Thanks for the question! Do you mean in the near term or just over time? In the near term, the Fed is telling us that they are committed to raising rates until inflation is under control; that means increasing unemployment, decreasing wages and decreasing asset prices. So in the near term yes the Fed is telling you they want assets to decrease in value, and that includes the underlying holdings of JEPI and JEPQ. Long-term though there is growth potential and the additional income of the covered calls help to offset some of that downside risk and lower the average cost per share if prices decline.
I own 875 shares of jepi average price 53.8. Been waiting for 3 months to buy more shares at
That’s great! Did you also know you can sell covered calls on those holdings as well? I plan to do a follow up video on that soon, it’s like covered-call-ception!
I have been buying both of these funds every month.

I own both. Hopefully they come up with a russel version and maybe a dow eventually. I feel it a way better alternative to the global X etfs
Agreed!
For those holding jepi/jepq in taxable accounts, what's the yearly percentage being taxed on these holdings come tax season?
Thanks for the question! If you hold these in a taxable account, only a small percentage of each monthly distribution is considered qualified dividends and taxed more favorably. The majority (80% or so) are non-qualified dividends which means they are taxed as ordinary income at whatever your marginal tax rate (the tax rate of the last dollar earned) is so it will vary by each person’s income.

Why bstz and not just BST?

I’d love to know everyone’s opinion on JEPQ paired with SCHD

Do you think there’s more upside on jepq then jepi?

That’s exactly how they’ve performed this year, glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!
I have 14 years for retirement. My money is in IRA. You think it is a good idea to hold these 2 in the portfolio ? Say upto 15% ?
