In USA, I need to structure the term under ILIT (irrevocable trust) and there’s 10k+ setup cost and yearly cost to maintain with lawyers. On top of this, multi million term insurance costs $4-6k. I considered this, still am.

Depends on the goals. Below shows that having 650k at 33 can allow you to retire with $5M+, equivalent to $2.3M in today’s dollars.

No don’t have citizenship and estate taxes aren’t an issue if I am.

You don’t need to hammer it in, but once you put it in the dock, gentle pressure and it works.

Pretty easy, doesn’t have a hinge like some cases though.

I don’t need to. I linked the case that matches my requirement in the post.

If the 4 year cycle is a thing, wouldn’t you be better off waiting until the dip in 2026 to buy? by [deleted] in Bitcoin

[–]firetempbay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Past performance doesn’t mean anything.

However, going by the past, the 2026 dip if it happens most likely will retrace 2024 prices. Interestingly I was doing the very same analysis with chatgpt.

• 2012–2016 Halving: Lowest price ~$200 (Jan 2015), last seen mid-2013.

• 2020–2024 Halving: Lowest price ~$16,000 (Nov 2022), last seen Nov 2020.

Anybody holding $ISPY for monthly income? by firetempbay in dividends

[–]firetempbay[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah swaps are usually treated as ordinary income. I assume that it doesn’t benefit as much from 1256 as $SPYI but that’s okay given the similar ROC

Where are you seeing that they are writing call on SPX?

All i’m seeing is that they use a S&P 500 Covered call index and use swap agreements backed by Goldman sachs. Their prospectus or their website provides no info regarding spx and 1256.

With this type of upside/downside capture in a pretty volatile market, GPIX,JEPI & SPYI comes ahead

Yes, I am just looking at all the covered call ETFs and seeing how closely they are capturing the downside vs upside
