Great way to own the S&P. The covered calls is a dividend booster... currently yielding 21% which i believe is sustainable, since $1.10 has been a steady semi-annual payment for the last few years, including last year's bloodbath. Annual turnover is only 8%.

Good idea, but expenses will drag it down.

The price is $15.55 with a dividend of $1.10 every six months and an interesting investment strategy.

Another way to guarantee you'll underperform the SPY.

Copycatting kevday. I might be interested in this fund in a non-CAPS portfolio... e.g. real money, but I buy the logic as long as CAPS doesn't account for dividends. Putting it in my list is a good mental tickler to keep following this fund (ETF I'm guessing) for future research.
