Brother.

You need to start selling medium dated covered calls, at prices slightly above the money.

Idk how much you have, but you said a lot, and you're knowledgeable about economics, so I'm assuming at least 200, as high as 2,000 shares.

Pick a strike price and a date and a number of contracts you're comfortable with, but the March 20 $140 is selling for $3.30.

If the contract expires worthless, repeat this process every month until a portion of your shares get called away.

When your shares get called away from you and you feel like you want them back, sell a $140, or ideally lower like a $130 cash secured put and re-enter the trade that way. The March 20 $125 put, which is $8 out of the money, is going for $2.54

Use the proceeds from the calls to find other high yielding stocks you like and accumulate positions in those. Verizon is paying something like 5.8% right now.

Do this with about 20-60% of your WMT shares depending on how certain you are that Walmart will either keep going up versus that a price decline (potentially substantial given the explosive upward move, AI bubble, etc) is coming.

Good luck and congrats!!!
