l am seriously considering shifting a greater proportion of my assets away from property into ETF's like JEPI, JEPQ, SPLG. the dividends and growth should more than match the ~6% yield in rent~2-8% capital growth. thoughts?

why? more confidence in JEPI, JEPQ or SPLG? feel l will put money on them, away from property

suggestions on how to do yourself?

EWZ had dividends of $91, IB paid me $61. (post tax), What is the current tax rate for US and UK residents on dividends. For EWZ I was charged over 30%. whats best way to minimise?

I hold JEPQ and its dividends day was 3june24, why havent I been paid? holdings with my IB account

Elite traders, l want to ask for your opinons: 1. what % of an account should be used for trading options or options on futures like /es /nq or /mes /mnq and how do you measure that % ? (l think its the % of bpr or maintenance margin required divided by net liq) . to make an 'acceptable' amount...

any idea, what would happen to our holdings if the company managing the etf collapses?

FEPI is interesting. just thought what would happen if the company that manages these ETF's (incl spy) collapse? do we get our money invested in them back?

REIT has 0 liquidity, huge bid ask spreads, no options. thanks but no thanks

SPLG seems much more attractive for a smaller investor / trader, and it pays a dividends relative touch higher than SPY. will it offer very similar returns to SPY / S&P500? considering getting in by selling puts. thoughts?

opinion of high dividend growth ETF’s like JEPQ, SVOL, SCHD? Particularly interested in JEPQ which has 90% correlation to SPY, the ‘gold standard’. It has ~9% dividends :), it gets it from selling 1 month otm calls. Think it does have a management charge of ~0.35% but so does holding spy or qqq...

seriously thinking of rolling up 1 or 2 of the 8, dec29 4500c to x-1 4750c 4895c @~207db for jan19 or @~190db for feb16 , just take one so dont have to take the full blast of 8 x 22000, which will make my cash value very negative and have to pay margin interest, opinion? thanks

lve been looking at possibilities for rolling my Dec29 SPX x-8 4500c x+8 4720c to 30jan x-2 4750c x+2 4900c @ 144db.(margin limits me to 2.) is thisa trade that can be even worse, ie, if it closes above 4900 loss is 150db + 144db , right? so it could be worse than 220db currently facing? the...

limit order used, as always. does anyone know if SPX AM give a poorer execution compared to SPX 0DTE ? if not what could explain this worst fill?

Dear fellow traders, I got into an SPX AM options trade. Compared to the SPX 0dte dailys, are the executions typically poorer? I expected to at least get between the bid and ask especially with an ~7.0 point wide spread as can be seen in screen shots, but got filled at worst price. IB is broker...

mervyn, is the risk reward better for /ES?

bought AAPL call Leap yesterday, and considering selling put leaps in SPX or NDX or bwb's. the margin requirement is low for the return. please see attachments. l realise that bwb or put ratios are slow moving compared to just naked put. margin impact seems significantly lower than TW or TOS. is...

yes, had considered that, thing is the puts are so expensive, is this the most effective way? luckily l had some long stock, sold them, and it did bring my post expiry margin positive again, also l was significantly in cash debit, even though net liq was positive to almost same amount as...
