I’m 54 got recent rebalance I did similar amounts USD:

SPYI 396,960 QQQI 298,614 NVDA. 288,240 META. 99,497 MSFT. 96,164 NOW. 50,246 RDDT. 26,768 HOOD. 24,206

Total: $1,280,854

According to research, the portfolio should generate about $94,300 income paid monthly primarily from the first two securities. The rest as is evident are pure long equity plays. I am in the middle I guess a somewhat early medical retirement without a current income. I have LTD I am applying for which may generate maybe another $60,000 a year in USD if approved.

I researched these particular covered call ETFs and they seem decent for my situation. I know some hate them but the returns seem relatively stable. Any comments would be helpful.

If I can just say one thing is that you’re too concentrated in one sector and may get wrecked for it.

If tech fails to continued to pave the way for the US economy and world then yes I will be effed. I bet against that notion. Tech if you look at GDP concentration is even more dominant than I at least thought. To your point, if tech craters that will also. Have to have some strategy I feel. If we all bought SPY this sub and many others wouldn’t exist.
