As an older investor (74) I am interested in steady income for the future. Obviously, treasuries are not an option, but approximately 55% of my portfolio is invested in CEFs (closed-end funds), with another 15% invested in regular ETFs.

The bulk of my precious metal exposure is in GDXJ, SLVP, EQX, AND SAND. I'm not smart enough, or adventurous enough to pick and choose a handful of individual stocks for diversification in the precious metals arena. The only other positions I hold in t[...]

Did not buy to close yesterday. I'm greedy, which ain't necessarily a good thing, but I don't believe it will come back down to the strike price. I expect to realize the full $6400.00 profit at expiration in 4-1/2 weeks. I know that EDIT's price dropped[...]

Strike price was $17.50 on August 4. Sorry, I thought I put that in my previous comment. It's probably too late for this trade now. Just wait for the next Radical Technology recommendation and so the same thing. IMHO, that's all the newsletter is good [...]

An alternative some of you might consider. I have no faith in Radical Technology Profits recommendations, except that they will drive the price up when they publish a new stock. I sold 40 9/15/17 puts at $1.60 on August 4, and as of the close today they[...]

If you're looking for other alternatives, look at NRZ and APTS. NRZ is currently paying $1.84 a year (about 13%), and APTS is paying $.81 a year (about 5.85%). I bought NRZ in March, 2016 at $11.90 (current price is $14.11, so my YOC is 6.81%. I bought [...]
