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.

TSPY: A High-Potential Bet On New Market Highs In 2026

The TappAlpha SPY Growth & Daily Income ETF targets high-yield investors by pairing a long SPY position with daily out-of-the-money call selling. TSPY's daily option resets offer greater upside capture during rallies versus traditional covered call ETFs but introduce higher risk in volatile or declining markets. The current macro backdrop—falling rates, strong GDP, and equity momentum—supports TSPY's directional strategy for investors bullish on new S&P 500 highs in 2026.

TSPY Vs. SPYI: Why This 0DTE Fund Might Be Even Better Than SPYI

TappAlpha SPY Growth & Daily Income ETF earns a Strong Buy rating for its superior yield and S&P 500 upside capture versus SPYI. TSPY delivers 13-14% yields and better total returns than SPYI, though with less downside protection due to its 0DTE options strategy. SPYI remains a Buy for its consistent 10%+ yields, tax efficiency, and lower volatility, but TSPY's higher payouts may better suit most income investors.

14%+ Yielding Way To Hedge Against The AI Bubble

Current market valuations are near dot-com bubble highs, especially in AI leaders, where the P/S are just extreme. The fact that we have entered 2026 with an active 3-year bull run does not help either. However, we have to be also mindful of the risk that comes with such a thinking - i.e., the risk of incurring painful opportunity cost.
