TACO Strikes Again But This Time Trump Pressed Pause 

🌟🌟🌟Yesterday the market was in the doldrums with no energy.  Then this morning ...Boom!  Trump announced that he has paused the attack on Iran's power plants and that "negotiations are going well".  Suddenly the market jumps like it  drank 3 shots of espresso.

Just 1 headline and the whole market mood fliped faster than lightning.  Never mind the Iranian side said that there was no negotiation.  The market desperately needed some good news to pivot from the pervasive doom and gloom with oil prices spiralling over USD 100.

So what's the next move?  Sit in cash or go all in?  When TACO strikes, volatility is a given.

Here was what I would do:  Buy  $Global X Nasdaq 100 Covered Call ETF(QYLD)$  for dividends.

What is QYLD?

QYLD is basically like the steady uncle at family gatherings.  This ETF holds the Nasdaq 100 stocks, sells covered calls on them and hands me the option premiums as monthly dividends.

Global X has been paying dividends monthly for 12 consecutive years.

QYLD doesn't care about TACO, oil, Iran or market mood swings.  It is not a growth rocket.  QYLD is a dividend machine.  The current dividend yield is 11.8%.  It just went ex dividend on March 23 2026 with a pay day in March 26 2026.

QYLD pays me dividends every single month.  It is like a friend who gives me pocket money while the rest of the world argues.

Dividends are certainly a great source of passive income for me.

Concluding Thoughts 

So while some people will sit on cash like a Zen monk waiting for clarity and others may go all in like a Tiger who smells opportunity.  Me?  I let QYLD drips monthly dividends while the market negotiates its feelings.

There is no wrong or right answer - only one that matches your conviction or your peace.

As for me?  I am just here with popcorn, watching TACO do TACO things... and letting QYLD pay for the snacks.
