There Are Two Ways To Sell Options For Income 👇 Almost every option income ETF sells covered calls, which means owning the stock and selling someone the right to buy it at a set price. The premium is kept either way, but if the stock climbs past that strike the shares can be called away and the gains above it go to the buyer. Selling puts works from the other side. The seller collects premium for agreeing to buy at a set price if the market drops that far, and the upside is never sold. $OVL: Invests in the S&P 500 through a single core equity position with laddered short term index put spreads layered on top. Distribution rate of 10.46% as of 7/31/26, and gets paid monthly A put spread pairs a short put with a long put at a lower strike. The long put costs some of the premium collected, and in exchange the maximum loss is limited to the gap between the two strikes minus the net credit. That makes it a defined risk structure rather than an open ended one. Liquid Strategies has run index option overlays for advisors and institutions since 2013 and brought the approach to ETFs in September 2019. Because OVL never sells a call, the equity upside is never sold away. Distribution rate is not a yield. 100% of recent distributions were return of capital as of 7/30/26. - This content is sponsored by Liquid Strategies. ETF Investments is compensated through a paid arrangement to promote OVL

🚨 BIDDING WAR FOR USCF ETFs: PE firm Madison Dearborn agreed Friday to buy Marygold $MGLD, parent of USCF ETFs with $6B in AUM and $USO as its biggest fund, for $2/share in cash. The micro cap stock jumped 91% Friday morning. Simplify just crashed the party with a rival $2.25/share all-cash bid presented to Marygold's board over the weekend. Simplify says this is its second bid in recent days, so this fight is far from over.

🚨 Amplify just filed with the SEC for a pro sports ownership ETF 🏟️ The fund would be called the Amplify Pro Sports Private & Public Ownership ETF, trading as $PROS on NYSE. The filing went in on September 17, 2026 and becomes effective 75 days later, which puts the earliest possible launch around December 1, 2026 So what would investors actually own? Almost every pro franchise is privately held, which is why no ETF has ever offered real ownership exposure. The public side of the fund would hold companies that operate teams, leagues and venues, tracking a purpose-built index from @Vetta_Fi The private side is the part that makes this unusual. SEC Rule 22e-4 lets an open-end fund hold up to 15% of its assets in illiquid investments. PROS plans to use that entire allowance, buying into private funds that hold stakes in teams, leagues and sports real estate There is a reason issuers are suddenly interested in this corner of the market. The average NFL team is now worth ~$9.3B after climbing 31% in a single year, according to Sportico. The Ross-Arctos Sports Franchise Index returned 16% annually over the decade ending in the first quarter of 2026, with low correlation to stocks and bonds Leagues opened the door first. MLB allowed private equity in 2019, the NBA and NHL followed, and NFL owners approved institutional stakes of up to 10% in 2024. Arctos Partners, now owned by KKR, holds positions in the Bills, Chargers and Browns, with a Falcons deal awaiting an owners vote in October Until PROS launches, there are two sports ETFs you can actually buy today 👇 $GOLS is the Gabelli Opportunities in Live and Sports ETF, launched January 2, 2026. It is actively managed with no index behind it, so the team hand picks across the sports economy, holding names like $BATRA, $MANU, $TKO and $CHDN alongside venue and media companies $BETZ is the Roundhill Sports Betting & iGaming ETF, and it takes the other side of the trade entirely. It owns the sportsbooks rather than the franchises, and it converted from an index fund to active management in June 2026 Sports are coming to the ETF wrapper! @AmplifyETFs @InvestGabelli @roundhill
