2026 Is About Volatility And 10%+ Covered Call Yields

Volatility and dispersion are the likely key themes for 2026. The sky-high valuations and increasingly shaky economic/financial fundamentals support that view. At the same time, the market's "put mechanism," which has made the buy-the-dip strategy work since really the GFC, has not disappeared.
