A dividend cut would be catastrophic.I bought in early January and have received so far 8 dividend payouts . Only have 100 shares as I wanted to just see how these etfs played out.
So I collected so far a total of
$6.42 worth of dividends. I paid around $19.75 for shares which are currently at $12.40.
So if you figure in the dividends I'm at
13.33 so even thought it's down with all my dividend payouts I'm only down around a buck on the overall investment. I plan to hold it and see what happens over the next few yrs. I would buy into the other ones on any major dip. If the markets sell off more than 30% and these take a hit it could be a good long term investment..however I would not buy 100k worth unless you have a few million to spare. I only bought a small amount to just watch and see how it performs.
As your capital drops, you can sell less calls and make less premium, coupled with you will be receiving less premium, and even giving premium back if selling farther otm below your cost...and then when price does rally your gains are capped...its a downward spiral.
