SPYI. It lagged the red hot SPY by 15% during the last 2 years combined but still averaged 18% per year.

As I understand it covered calls hedge risk but the downside is they limit gains, eg the QQQ was up 24% last year and QYLD only netted ~18%. I have only held QYLD during the last two years, a bull market. I should probably look at how they were in 2021.
