Gold & commodity income ETFs

Gold and commodity income ETFs overlay an options-income strategy on precious-metal exposure — writing calls on gold, silver, and mining stocks (GDXY, NUGY, IGLD, SLJY) — to turn a traditionally zero-income asset into a high monthly or weekly payout. They trade some of gold's upside for premium and carry the same NAV-erosion risk as other covered-call funds, alongside commodity-price volatility.
