$VG Closed just over $13 so im cashing in another $30. Lets see where it opens on monday, will probably be looking to sell another call at $13.5 or $13 if it opens lower. The play so far: -Sold the 12.5 May 29th Put for $17 and got assigned. Effective cost > $12.33 -Sold the 13C last week for $40 which expired worthless -Sold the 13.5C this week for $30 which expired worthless Two ways to look at it: I either own 100 shares of $VG at an effective cost of $11.63 I own 100 shares of $VG at 12.33 and cashed in $70. So far the sold calls have made me 5.7% on my invested capital in 2 weeks. Annualized thats 148%. Which is not healthy to be honest lol. But we keep it going next week!

Another week another $VG sold call. Last week worked out beautifully with VG closing below my strike of $13, and this week opening above it. So i sold the $13.5 call for this friday at $30. My effective cost is now $11.63 and if the shares get called away i'll pocket $187. That would be a ~15% gain in 3 weeks.

📣 $SCHD Q2 Dividend Estimate Gets a Major Upgrade Great news! After going back through the numbers to update my official estimate for the recent $UNH dividend increase, I found several pleasant surprises that significantly improved the outlook for the Q2 payout. 💰 New Estimate: $0.2743/share🤩 If correct, this would mean: 🟢 5.42% vs Q2 2025 ($0.2602) 🏆 Third-highest quarterly dividend payout in $SCHD history 📈 Trailing 12-month dividend would increase from approximately $1.0557 to $1.0698 📅 Ex-Dividend: June 24 📅 Pay Date: June 29 What changed? The obvious boost came from $UNH’s recent 5% dividend increase, but that wasn’t the only factor. I also discovered several dividend increases that were not fully reflected in my original estimate: • $PAYX 10% • $FHI 12% • $BANR 4% • $SRCE 7.5% • $CWEN continues to raise its dividend by approximately 1.6% each quarter, though my dividend tool has not yet updated. Another surprise, however, came from the March reconstitution. In my original estimate, it appeared several of the newly added holdings would miss the cutoff for the June distribution. After a much deeper review, it now looks like all of the new additions should be included in this payout. 🤩 Examples: • $KFY was added to $SCHD on March 20, and its April dividend appears to qualify for this distribution. • $CMC was also added during the March reconstitution, and its April dividend should be included as well. Taken together, these updates added up to a much more favorable outcome than I originally expected and helped drive the upward revision. 📌 As always, this is still an educated estimate based on available data. The actual dividend could come in higher or lower. What’s your prediction? ⬆️ Higher than $0.2743 ⬇️ Lower than $0.2743
