Horizons Gold Yield ETF (HGY-T) reviews indicate a cautious approach toward its covered call strategy, particularly in environments characterized by high volatility. Experts note that employing covered calls on volatile assets like commodities can limit upside potential without providing significant downside protection. The sentiment suggests that, while the strategy may be appealing to real options traders due to rich premiums, it may not align well with income-focused investors seeking stability and predictable returns. Analysts highlight a preference for dividend-paying stocks within a more conservative framework rather than high-risk options, emphasizing the importance of a balanced approach to income generation and risk management.

WEAK BUY

Nothing wrong with this, but he tends not to write calls on something that's high volatility (like commodities or the Mag 7). Writing calls on something that's volatile severely limits your upside potential, but doesn't protect you that much on the downside. You're not getting much income relative to the risk. Real options traders like this, however, because the premiums on the options are so rich.

What he wants in his covered call strategy are dividend payers, and a more conservative approach.

HOLD
If bullish on sector, not the best option (covered call). Good option for defensive investors looking for yield.
DON'T BUY
This holds gold but writes calls. The more chopp gold is, the more this will be called away and you will buy back at a higher price. In other words, this won't perform well during gold volatility. This is good for paying yield. Instead, buy pure exposure with CGL or GLD.
DON'T BUY

Covered call on bullion with a nice yield. If you are bullish on the underlying then don’t because you limit your upside. If you think it is range bound then this will enhance your returns. The total return is negative the last year and a half.

BUY
A Gold ETF where they are writing Covered Calls on the commodity itself and they are writing options against a third of it. If you are going to be in any kind of gold ETF that is based on the price of gold, he likes the idea of generating cash flow.
