The Horizons Gold Yield ETF, symbol HGY-T, is attracting interest from investors, particularly those interested in achieving a higher yield from gold investments. One reviewer noted that the ETF offers a yield of approximately 10.25%, appealing to those looking for income generation, especially retirees. However, the investor cautioned that the primary issue with gold is its lack of natural distribution, leading to a reliance on covered call strategies to create income. This approach might lead to a scenario where distributions are high relative to the options strategy, which some investors may find unattractive. The general sentiment is that while the 10% yield positions these investors favorably, they should refrain from additional purchases, suggesting a level of caution amidst perceived drawbacks in total return potentials.
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.

One major problem with gold is that it doesn't pay a distribution. Writing covered calls creates that distribution for you. Sometimes the distribution can be too high relative to the options strategy; so they replace that by giving you your own $$ back. He doesn't love that idea. The yield pulls you in, but there's not much advantage on total return.
At 10%, investor is in a good position. But don't add any more.
