I can’t ever remember seeing an interview like this, I think you broke some new ground! Excellent stuff!

That was a great interview and lots of insights. I really appreciate the fund manager willing to be interviewed.

The diplomacy used to discuss competitors tells a lot about a person. If this an example of how well their funds are managed, they should do very well.

"Sooo, what do they do all day long." LoL. And, in the same instant, a very good question. I've had similar thoughts when looking at those particular fund managers. That was an excellent interview, at exactly the right time.

I’m looking at QQQI harder than ever and this series has been the most informative. Thank you so much.

My favorite thing about Garrett is how trustworthy he seems. Would guy, straightforward, open. Great interview as always - thank you for the content!!!

Great video as usual! Thanks to you and NEOS coming to the channel. The more I see him, the better i feel about their ETFs.

Looks like I’ll have to add QQQI to my portfolio!! Another great video. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

Thanks for doing this series. I have learned a lot about SPYI and QQQI and have started adding both to my portfolio. Really enjoyed each interview.

Thank you for another great interview! The editing of your videos is really dynamic with the various inserts (example 7:35). I laughed at the question "what exactly do they do all day" 🤣. I really appreciate the fact that Garrett is so straight forward, you can ask any tough question and he answers with clear facts.

Great interview, love how you compared the competitors and added fepi to the discussion

As Professional as it gets......GREAT resource for us smaller investors..... THANKING YOU

Thank you very much for the interview ! Your stock list and interview are unique and make this channel very special 👍

Terrific interview! Garret always impresses with his willingness to take on tough questions and provide clear, direct answers. Personally, I'm invested in SPYI and thinking about starting to invest in QQQI

These interviews are so helpful. Garrett is definitely one of the fund managers I want handling my money. I will continue to buy more QQQI. Thank you.

Thanks for the interview. Already have good sized positions in QQQI (and SPYI). Very happy with so far. NEOS doing good work with their offerings.

Great content as usual. I own SPYI, JEPI, BALI and JEPQ. More or less I bought them last October and for now they are all performing really well. The surprise was really BALI and it's my best performer. But they are all really similar apart JEPI that is doing what it's supposed to do, generate income with lower volatility. Soon I'll be adding to QQQI, GPIX, and GEPQ. Maybe JEPI is the one that worries me the most, because you need to really trust the managers who are stock picking. I don't think I'll keep it for long!

Quickly becoming one of my favorite channels

Awesome interview and the way Garrett talks really instills confidence. After doing a bunch of research I finally took the plunge and bought shares of QQQI.

I have small amount of SPYI in my IRA, some investors may not agree with that but I like how I can just reinvest the great dividends without buying anymore shares. These kind of funds are very versatile because you can use the dividends for more fractional shares of SPYI, VTI, VOO, SCHD etc. Hopefully I will own some QQQI soon!

Fantastic Interview, thanks. 👍

As usual, I learned a lot from your video. Thanks for the content!

Another great video with great questions …personally help my confidence with cover call investment’s. Especially when the martlet are down as we are in now. Looking forward to more video like this

good thing i've just been slowly adding cause these last couple of weeks was rough

Thanks, adding ''Neos'' to my strategy, good video. Paid attention the second time viewing

Great interview! Really help to understand the difference between those funds. I have now split my pos 50% jepq 50% qqqi. Fepi seems much more risky with only 15 stocks.

What happens during a crash....great question ive never seen asked before!

I get so much quality information to use from your channel. Thank you so very much!!

I'm impressed. I may raise my allocation in SPYI, next pullback.

Good interview, love that you get access to the managers; keep up the good work! Would be interesting to ask NEOS why did NUSI not perform as advertised since inception. It's easy to say JPM is a household name, but JEPI and JEPQ have performed as advertised.

Great interview! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and investing experience!

Excellent interview, as always! Note with the US Market fall, STK's current Premium of 2% is very close to its 52 week low of 1%. It is a good time to start buying.

I am more impressed with Garrett with every new interview I watch. I wonder if Garrett & his group would ever be willing to offer a course on trading options for retail investors who want to do some of this on their own?

I just picked up some NEOS IWMI Russell 2000. Hope you do a video about it soon.

Great interview and cross analysis from different similar funds. I have personally been taking advantage of the market discounts and buying more QQQI

Total return for QQQI since 1/30/24 inception date to 4/19/24 is -1.1%. QQQ is -2.4%, JEPQ is +0.01%, QYLD is -0.77%. The winner is FEPI at +3.0%.

Thanks for making this video. Enjoyed the information.

Excellent interview! 😎👍

Release the Russell ETF already NEOS!!!!!!

GPIX, GPIQ, and BALI are similar.

I like these interviews... great to hear it from the horse's mouth!

possible to post a back-test of the fund SPYI and QQQI for the covid time based on the rule-base active management? Wonder how the funds would perform during the max draw down during the covid.

Very helpful. Thank you

Great content, thanks!

Great video as usual

Excellent breakdown - allows investor's to understand how the fund actually works.

I prefer JEPI over SPYI. Although JEPI returned less than SPYI by a hair, JEPI did it with lower volatility (standard deviation) and a better Sortino ratio (risk-adjusted return). In other words, I'm not convinced that SPYI's higher MER is necessarily justified. Its outperformance can be attributed to it taking more risks.

@armchairincomechannel: the manager said their funds are tax based on indexes which are at 60% long-term, and 40% short term. But the chart showed ROC under taxes … which is it? ( I like ROC) Thanks

Thoroughly enjoying the interviews. It has helped me understand these covered calls companies. Would you DRiP these or use the income and fund a growth etf/other positions in your portfolio?

I have been following the funds holding. During the recent market crash if you look into the holding both SPYI and QQQI now has nothing left to hedge in short position. I am wondering what is the rolling strategy for the fund on the short side. When to roll out to next month date? What is strike price criteria for next one? Two ladders are enough? Considering weeklys in addition to monthly?

Under tax criteria, between mostly return of capital vs ordinary income - which one benefits more to investor? Can someone help explain? Thanks😊

Selling ATM calls should generate higher premium than an OTM call. So ignoring the capped share price growth growth, QYLD should yield higher than QQQI, but it does not. So, I'm still not clear on how that could be. Something's not adding up?

Can you please make a video about GPIQ/GPIX(goldman sachs) and IVVW(blackrock)? 🙏 Btw, just subscribed :)

Which ones are better for ira accounts and which are better for taxable accounts.

I'm curious if during a market crash or correction and volatility spikes are they paying out more than their 14% since they are getting higher premiums. Or they just paying out the 14% and re-investing the rest.

Any info about future Neos ETFs??? Like a russell2000 or anything else?

How would it compare to GPIQ?

When investing SPYI and QQQI, people is that a main factor? as now these two etf is made the co-founder ideas, what if he quit or retire? the strategy would it be changed?

Do you know why QQQI's distribution yield is only 4.68% ?

Exactly

QQQI very low volume? Stick with blue chip JEPQ?

Any thoughts on USA, RITM ...

What happens after your NAV share price (cost of share) is going to zero due to ROCs after many years?

FEPi has not been doing so well in this latest downturn. I've got SPYi... got .48 cents per share last month. What does QQQi pay?

So is SPYI the fastest growing?

I just saw this video and host talks about downward market but response isn't clear neither descriptive to demonstrate what actually happens in downward market. Hope discuss with fund manager and may be in future video clearly educate/help others to understand what actually happens in downward market. Let's talk about The Situation: Fund hold S&P 500 stocks with an average cost of $100,000,000. The fund writes a covered call, generating income but potentially capping upside if the stock price rises above the strike price. (This is acceptable) The market collapses by 30%, lowering your net asset value. Due to the significant drop, your original cost is now far out of the money for future covered calls. What happens in this situation? 1. Do the fund continue to write cover call at 10% out of money with premium and continue to get the premium? In this scenario if market does recover then you will have net loss of 15% (30% - 10% - premium). The fund manager buy new asset again at lower cost and continue if previous options were exercised? or fund never write call at a strike price lower then original investment cost? 2. If Situation like 2022 happens when downward trend started & fund is stuck at high cost and then month after month market slides down and fund keep holding high cost asset and after few month you run out of option to write call as you are way out of the money. 3. Wait until market recovers to 20% - 25% and then start writing calls so that you don't make loss in the event call is exercised? This scenario means no income until market recovers and situation like 2020 will make it very challenging in this scenario. Potential Challenges: Limited to No Income Generation: Significantly out-of-the-money calls won't generate income and heavy capital loss if you end-up selling calls at lower price and then option get exercised. Transparency Needed: Many covered call ETFs lack transparency regarding their approach to downward markets. None of the covered call ETF talks about how they manage this scenario. Hope the host arrange interview just to talk about downward market with example not just gibberish words where they say volatility increase premium and it helps which doesn't address the real question about holding high cost asset at downward trending market.

BITO ???????

Was this before or after the recent crash?

Good interview!

Hi Garrett (armchairincome) are you willing to go on record to say that you or any affilates Hi Garrett (armchairincome), are you willing to go on record to say that you or any affiliates own or have any financial interest in QQQI?

Who is the person being interviewed?

I think I saw briefly he is from Neos so that is QQQI bias of course.
