Episode notes
Weekly Options Power Weekly Payouts
- GraniteShares' Yield Boost ETFs generate income by selling weekly options on volatile underlyings.
- Weekly option premium allows the funds to align weekly distributions with option income.
Volatility Drives Yield Dispersion
- Yields vary widely because Granite sells options on leveraged and volatile underlying ETFs or single assets.
- More volatile underlyings like Coinbase or Bitcoin can push annualized yields far higher than broad indices.
Put Spreads Instead Of Naked Sales
- The core strategy is a put spread: sell a put to collect premium and buy a further OTM put for downside protection.
- That structure generates income while limiting some downside risk compared with naked option selling.
