asbe/iStock via Getty Images Fast Facts About The Roundhill Innovation-100 0DTE Covered Call Strategy ETF The Roundhill Innovation-100 0DTE Covered Call Strategy ETF ( QDTE ) is an actively managed ETF launched on March 7, 2024, with a primary objective of current income and a secondary objective of capital appreciation. QDTE has a net expense ratio of 0.97%, an impressive distribution rate of 19.52%, and a stunning trailing 12-month yield of 48.07%. Distributions are paid on a weekly basis. QDTE is a mid-size and liquid ETF, with $794 million in assets under management and an average daily trading volume of $19 million. The fund’s issuer, Roundhill Investments, is an investment advisor founded in 2018 and focused on innovative exchange-traded funds, with $8.7 billion in assets under management. Strategy As described in the prospectus by Roundhill Investments , the fund implements a synthetic covered call strategy to generate income on a weekly basis while also providing capped exposure to the Nasdaq 100 Index. The fund doesn’t invest directly in Nasdaq 100 stocks, only in options based on the index. A covered call strategy consists of investing in an asset and selling (“writing”) one or more call options on it for a premium to generate income. On the downside, participation in the asset's gains is limited by the options. In a synthetic covered call strategy, the long position in the asset is replaced with a “synthetic long” using a combination of options designed to replicate the asset’s price return. A synthetic long consists of buying call options and selling put options on the underlying asset with a strike price approximately equal to the asset’s price at the time of initiating the positions. In QDTE, the income-generating call options have zero days to expiration and are known as “0DTE” options. They are sold on a daily basis at market opening with an out-of-the-money strike price and expire the same day at market closing. The options used for the synthetic lo...

sshepard/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images Northrop Grumman ( NOC ) on Wednesday said it successfully launched multiple satellites for the U.S. Space Force as part of the STP-S29A mission, using its Minotaur IV rocket from Space Launch Complex 8 at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. Minotaur launch (Northrop Grumman) The mission marks the 31st successful flight of the Minotaur program since its debut in 2000, according to the company. Upgraded rocket design The Minotaur IV vehicle is part of a broader family of launch systems developed for U.S. government missions. It uses decommissioned Peacekeeper missile motors supplied by the government, combined with Northrop Grumman’s commercial launch technologies. The company said recent design changes to the Minotaur IV are intended to simplify manufacturing and mission preparation. These updates reduce the number of components and processes required, while also improving overall performance and enabling faster launch readiness. Focus on cost, national security missions The launch supports the U.S. Space Force’s Rocket Systems Launch Program, which is designed to provide flexible and relatively low-cost access to space for government payloads. Wes Collier, vice president, launch systems, Northrop Grumman ( NOC ), said in a statement that the mission reflects ongoing efforts to refine the Minotaur IV system and maintain reliable launch capabilities for national security needs, while continuing to adjust the vehicle’s design for future missions.

Loyalists rush to defend president for ‘outsmarting the critics’ but others decry deal as ‘a negative for our country’ Donald Trump’s acceptance of a two-week ceasefire in Iran has exposed fresh divisions in his Make America Great Again (Maga) movement, with some supporters expressing vindication and others accusing the US president of betrayal. The US and Iran both claimed victory after the two countries agreed to pause hostilities following more than a month of war. But the strait of Hormuz remained closed on Wednesday and fighting was still taking place as Israel launched its biggest attacks yet on Lebanon. Continue reading...

guvendemir/E+ via Getty Images Introduction On Saturday, February 28, the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced the beginning of Operation Epic Fury. The war in Iran has been ongoing for roughly six weeks now, until a temporary ceasefire was negotiated on April 8. In an initial reaction to the military strikes of the U.S. and Israel, stock exchanges in the U.S. saw relatively neutral trading on Monday, March 2. It was the somewhat delayed spike in the price of oil and, in particular, the later close of the Strait of Hormuz that sent most stocks – except oil & gas stocks – lower. This is hardly surprising, as roughly 25% of the world's seaborne oil is transported via this route. Only very recently, the strait partially reopened under the recently negotiated ceasefire, which Iran is already threatening to exit over the ongoing Israeli attacks on Lebanon. In view of these events, portfolios with a meaningful exposure to upstream (but also to some extent midstream) oil & gas companies saw less drawdown than the broader market. But what about U.S. defense stocks? Interestingly, shares of all major contractors, namely Lockheed Martin Corp. ( LMT ), RTX Corp. ( RTX ), Northrop Grumman Corp. ( NOC ), General Dynamics Corp. ( GD ), Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc. ( HII ), and L3Harris Technologies, Inc. ( LHX ) are down since the start of the war, more or less in line with the S&P 500 Index (SPY, -4% vs. the February 27 close). Quite evidently, none of these stocks served as a hedge, as one might intuitively expect. Sector-specific ETFs have also disappointed, in some cases even more so than the shares of major U.S. defense contractors. For example, the iShares U.S. Aerospace & Defense ETF ( ITA ) and the State Street SPDR S&P Aerospace & Defense ETF ( XAR ) have fallen by 8% since the start of the war, while the Invesco Aerospace & Defense ETF ( PPA ) and the Select STOXX Europe Aerospace & Defense ETF ( EUAD ) skewed modestly to the upside (-6%) and to the downside ...

(Photo by Matteo Della Torre/NurPhoto via Getty Images) Nurphoto | Nurphoto | Getty Images A New York woman who worked as a personal assistant pleaded guilty to wire fraud on Wednesday for a scheme in which she stole $10 million from her elderly employers. The woman, Catalina Corona, blew some of the stolen money on luxury goods from Gucci, Cartier , Louis Vuitton , and to pay off her credit card debt , prosecutors said. Corona, 62, faces a maximum possible prison sentence of 30 years in the case, the Brooklyn U.S. Attorney's Office said. Corona was accused of using fraudulent checks and impersonating her employers to defraud the unidentified Long Island married couple out of millions of dollars from 2017, when she began working for them, through 2024. One of the victims died in 2022, according to court records.

primeimages Wall Street finished solidly higher on Wednesday after President Donald Trump agreed to delay planned military strikes on Iran for two weeks, contingent on the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite ( COMP:IND ) rose 2.8%, while the S&P 500 ( SP500 ) gained 2.5% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average ( DJI ) advanced 2.8%. Now, here are three focus points for investors on Thursday: Traders will be closely watching the upcoming PCE price index report, as investors look for fresh insight into underlying inflation trends and the trajectory of consumer prices. The data will be scrutinized for signs of easing price pressures or persistent inflation, which could shape expectations around consumer spending and the Federal Reserve’s policy path. Investors will remain focused on ongoing developments out of the Middle East, as tensions between the U.S. and Iran stay elevated following President Trump’s national address on Wednesday night. Market participants will also be monitoring the upcoming initial jobless claims report, as investors look for fresh insight into labor market conditions and the pace of layoffs. The data will be scrutinized for signs of softening or continued stability in employment trends, which could influence expectations around consumer resilience and overall economic momentum. Investors will further be watching developments surrounding Middle East tensions, particularly the evolving dynamic between the U.S. and Iran following the announcement of a conditional two-week ceasefire. The situation will be observed for signs of stability or renewed escalation, especially around the reopening and security of the Strait of Hormuz, which remains critical to global energy flows and market sentiment.
