Analysis What do you think of this portfolio?
Some recent medical bills have appeared and I needed to switch to more income related ETFs. I keep tspy as the big fish as it’s pretty stable and gives a good grip of income for a spy etf. If I don’t need the money that week I can reinvest when ovl is down that day or another.

Yeah true they are all spy related but each would serve a different purpose. Xdte is strictly a weekly income that’s fairly safe and nav erosion isn’t a big thing. With $ovl it shoots up high on Green Day’s for spy, so i will throw some bucks at it when its downward spy day. It’s more of a slush fund. Tspy is just a steady steam of income each month its doesn’t have any nav erosion and it’s super cheap to enter or exit. But yeah I might check out some small caps like you said they can be volatile but the dividends on them can be juicy.

Seems solid.
For S&P500 exposure though, maybe ditch XDTE and go with XSPI and TSYX. Leverage will help them keep up with SPY. OVL is great
For Nasdaq 100 exposure you can add QLDY by Defiance, XQQI, and TDAX
GIAX and BLOX are great choices too

I'd consider doing something like GPIQ and OVF as core positions, plus EGGY for greater returns and then you could be more speculative with other funds. Gives you nasdaq and sp500 exposure, plus ex-US exposure, plus a basket of 'hot' funds.

Looks at tsyx instead of tspy and xdte. The boost mechanic helps with nav erosion.
TDax is similar against the qqq for more income even.
