Dividend and covered option yield is going up nicely. So, my question is how long will reinvestment stay in this sweet spot?

The Chinese are most inscrutable.
The BIG recession is coming, and you can thank Brokeahontas! He does not understand economics or finance!!!Dividend and covered option yield is going up nicely. So, my question is how long will reinvestment stay in this sweet spot?
With any luck this trade war will stay hot until May 2020 rolls around
Who knows? the big question for China is how much investment will switch from China to elsewhere where there are no tariffs and for how long?What is this...third or fourth time theyve played this game?
The wife and I paid off our last debt in 92 so, I don't understand what you should be doing with leverage. What shocked me was that when I checked my screens today was that the number of issues that came up as being in my ballpark was three times as many as I had last month.Pupps wound down his leveraged long positions the middle of last week and went 20% leveraged short by weeks end. Pupps is now 100% short, with leverage...TZA, TECS, EDZ, and YANG. All positions have ccs written against them with ATM strikes.

Many companies make a lot of their revenue peddling options; Apple for instance makes billions on selling options on its stocks; that's why its earning reports don't actually reflect sales volumes and profits. Right wingers think they deserve massive tax reductions for that for some reason, some stupid ideological rubbish or other they've invented out of their asses. These markets aren't driven by productive capital investments and productivity, they're driven by lunatics, so yes, they're going to fluctuate depending on which loons can be inspired to be the more active on any given day.
My problem now is that the issues I own are being touted as the place to be until the trade war is over. That makes reinvestment a real pain.The wife and I paid off our last debt in 92 so, I don't understand what you should be doing with leverage.

A stock I've been watching for a while dropped into my buy range today and sort of leveled out there so I bought a few shares. I've used up all my spare trading cash recently so I'll have to transfer some funds from the T-Bill or savings account if I spot any more bargains.
I agree, I love this market. The leverage helped me a lot yesterday, great opportunities to sell premium on SPX and others.

Leverage can work wonders if you know how to use it...a disaster if you don't. You have to trade the market in front of you. This market has a negative bias. Leverage is just a profit / loss multiplier. I've used the 3x ETFs almost exclusively since 2008.
In 2008 I actually created a synthetic 3x long ETF by shorting Direxion's 3x short ETF on emerging markets (EDZ). This was before they introduced EDC. In the end, it's all about money. Leverage just enhances the effects of a given trade and opens the window to profit on the extra option premium awarded due to the inherent increased volatility.
