Why Covered Calls are a SCAM [According to Ben Felix]
from Wealth and Health Podcast · host David Jaffee
@BenFelixCSI This episode breaks down Ben Felix's viral analysis on why covered calls might be a "scam" and a "devil's bargain." In my opinion, Ben Felix hits a home run. He argues that selling covered calls caps your upside while leaving you with unlimited downside, mechanically lowering your expected returns. We review the data on covered call ETFs like JEPI and others, showing how they consistently underperform the market (sometimes by 5-6% annually) while generating inefficient tax events. Is the high yield worth the risk? If you want the truth about passive income strategies, please subscribe to the podcast. #benfelix #coveredcalls #investing
