[Outsider Club logo] Collect Monthly Income With This Little-Known Strategy [Alexander Boulden Photo] By [Alexander Boulden]( Written Sep 20, 2021 Before we get to the investment vehicle that can provide steady monthly income, I wanted to share this satirical billboard that’s popping up across Pennsylvania... [biden] I’m all for political satire, but this would be funnier if it weren’t true, especially since the Pentagon released a report earlier this year saying al-Qaeda could reinforce quickly enough in Afghanistan to conduct an attack on U.S. soil in one to two years. Officials now say that timeline is a “conservative” estimate. And now that the U.S. military admitted the Aug. 29 Kabul drone strike targeted the wrong vehicle, killing 10 civilians, we need to be wary of blowback. Both sides of the aisle are complicit in this mess, but after the announcement of Biden’s tyrannical and unconstitutional vaccine mandate for businesses last week, his approval rating now sits at 42%. Look, we don’t want to dwell on politics too much here, but this is the stuff that’ll impact the world markets and our lives, so we need to stay on top of it. Speaking of the markets, we’re halfway through the September slump and heading into October — the historical “crash month” — so investors are nervous. Not to mention inflation is really starting to take hold. Have you been grocery shopping lately? Our job as Outsiders is to think outside the box and bring you valuable investment ideas. So here’s a strategy that can help pay the monthly bills and build a sizable nest egg... Big Opportunity to Turn This Inflation Spike Into a Massive Pay Day Expert investor Jason Simpkins is zeroing in on one of the single-biggest opportunities on his radar... It’s a mining company that is poised to explode in the coming months. This stock is leveraged to the price of gold, which will continue to rise as the dollar declines and investors seek safe havens... Right now, this company is believed to be about 10 times less than what it ought to be worth. [Click here to learn about this massive opportunity.]( Planning for an Early Retirement When I started investing in individual stocks, I dabbled with GameStop (NYSE: GME), Innovative Industrial Properties (NYSE: IIPR), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), and Philip Morris (NYSE: PM). All performed better than expected, but we’ve also been living through the longest bull market in history, so that was almost a gimme. What I especially appreciated was receiving quarterly dividends from these companies, and I almost never buy stock if it doesn’t pay a dividend. I also liked playing stock options because it gave me the ability to control a large number of shares without risking much capital upfront. Buying calls on Cronos Group (NASDAQ: CRON) and puts on DavidsTea (NASDAQ: DTEA) turned out to be huge winners for me in 2019. I’ve recently taken a more conservative approach by buying index funds and reinvesting the dividends, using what’s known as a dividend reinvestment plan (DRIP). For example, by buying the S&P 500 Index, you get exposure to all stocks in the index, including quarterly dividends. The index has historically returned roughly 10% to 12% per year, with a current dividend yield of 1.28%. Even if you don’t reinvest the dividends, you can take the extra cash and do what you want with it. However, the dividend yield on the S&P is approaching historical lows, so you’re not getting much bang for your buck... [biden] Indexing is not a sexy strategy, and you’ve probably heard it a thousand times... Invest $100 starting at age 25 into the S&P at an average return of 10% to 12% and you’ll have more than $1 million by the time you’re 65. But I always find these number games misleading and unfair, given 70% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck; Americans have $900 billion in credit card debt and $1.56 trillion in student loan debt; the average U.S. household income is $60,000; and the no. 1 cause of bankruptcy in America is medical bills. Simply put, Americans need more money, and many of us are playing catch-up with our retirement. And while the majority of your portfolio should be indexed to allow compound interest to do its magic, most of us don’t have the luxury of time or patience to wait. So for those willing to take on a little more risk, investing in covered call exchange-traded funds (ETFs) combines the conservative nature of indexing, the risks of options, and the income from dividends to give you a shot at early retirement. Invest in Companies BEFORE They Go Public If you’re investing in stocks, especially in technology stocks, then you’re missing out BIG TIME! In fact, according to Inc., you’re missing out on "95% of the gains." For every $100 in profit those companies are making investors, you’re only getting five measly bucks. If that sounds unfair and you want access to the other 95% of the profits, then I’ve got an offer for you... Thanks to a recent act of Congress, the private markets where all those profits are taken, which were once off-limits to all but the super-wealthy and well-connected, are now open to all.

Covered call ETFs own shares of an underlying company or index and then sell monthly covered calls against those positions. The funds collect a premium for selling the calls to call buyers and distribute those premiums as dividends to the ETF holders. Compared with quarterly dividend payments from most stocks, covered call ETFs pay monthly dividends with above-average yields. For example, the largest covered call ETF is the Global X Nasdaq 100 Covered Call ETF (NASDAQ: QYLD). It pays a nearly 12% monthly dividend and has a dedicated following in the market. I’m also a fan of the Credit Suisse X-Links Crude Oil Shares Covered Call ETN (NASDAQ: USOI), which sports a 15.58% monthly dividend yield, and the JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF (NYSE: JEPI), yielding 7.48% monthly. The underlying returns aren’t too shabby either... [chart 2 oc editorial 20 sept 21] Sure, there are fund manager expenses and tax implications with collecting dividends, but this is a great way to earn extra monthly income. Two factors are working in your favor today with covered call ETFs. First, as we mentioned previously, the 1.28% yield on the S&P 500 is near historical lows, so those dividends aren’t helping you much unless you’ve got a boatload of money sitting in an index fund. Second, the CBOE S&P 500 Volatility Index, or the VIX, is just above 20, which means there aren’t many great buying opportunities, especially within the S&P 500 Index. I wrote in May that the VIX tracks the volume of call and put options on S&P 500 stocks to project 30-day volatility expectations. A level of 20 or below means the market is functioning “normally.” When it’s around 30 or 40, there’s some nervousness. And a level of 50 or 60 means the market is entering a correction, as it did in March 2021 and October 2008... [VIX] When the VIX is high and stocks are falling, you should actually buy because the index doesn't stay elevated for long. And when the VIX drops, stocks tend to rise. The point is until we see another spike in the VIX, the S&P 500 will remain relatively stagnant, so you might as well make as much money as you can with dividends in the meantime.

It’s called graphene, and it’s 1,000 times more conductive than copper, 100 times stronger than steel, and keeps out most liquids and gases. Scientists think graphene has endless applications — from being used in smartphones, to water filtration, and everything in between. But graphene’s real power lies within microprocessors. With this new material, we’re bound to see advancements across tech markets in a very short time: - Internet of things: $212 billion - Artificial intelligence: $39 billion - 5G: $5 billion The time to join the graphene revolution is now. And there’s one company that’s showing up on my radar. At any minute, this company’s graphene microprocessors will hit the market and will soon earn institutional investors like JPMorgan, BlackRock, and Vanguard five-digit gains. You could bank profits from this play like the rest of them, but you must act now. The stakes on this new material are too high to miss — gains as high as 12,795% are on the table...
