Dapper Dividends
Dapper Dividends is a personal podcast about dividend growth investing, hosted by Russ, a Chicago-raised installer and service technician who served in the US Navy in the late 1990s. Each episode shares his own opinions and experiences on building a dividend-focused portfolio, along with reflections on work, family and everyday life. The tone is casual and quirky rather than formal financial analysis, and he is explicit that nothing he says should be taken as investment advice. It is aimed at listeners who want a relatable, hobbyist perspective on long-term dividend investing.

He calls it his bonsai tr
#310~ I Tested 69 Covered Call ETFs. Only 4 Passed.
I tested 69 covered call and options-income ETFs against the assets they're built on — every fund from its own inception date through August 7, 2026, total return with all distributions reinvested. Only 4 beat their benchmark, and every one of those four had a flat or falling underlying, used leverage, or wasn't actually a covered call fund. Not one beat its benchmark by writing calls on a

#305~ Is OVL Better Than VOO?
So I kept hearing about this ETF called OVL — it's beaten the S&P 500 since 2019, and now it pays you over 10% a year in monthly checks. Sounded like a cheat code, so I popped the hood.
