Despite significant market volatility creating seemingly attractive high yields across multiple sectors, not all income machines are created equal. I detail the factors that the market is overlooking that make Western Midstream Partners (WES) a compelling buy right now. I discuss the key factors that explain why an 11% yield is not enough to make me want to buy Capital Southwest (CSWC).

I advocate for value-oriented covered call ETFs with underlying holdings beyond AI-saturated large-cap growth indices like SPY and QQQ. The risks for NAV erosion and income declines are higher on this front. Despite these risks, including some QQQ/SPY-linked covered call ETFs could enhance diversification and capture higher yields from volatility and growth.

A 7% yield sounds compelling until you ask the question that separates income investing from return-of-capital illusion: where is the money actually coming from?

Most retirement income conversations start and end in the same place. The Vanguard High Dividend Yield ETF (NYSE:VYM) at 2.26%, the Vanguard Real Estate ETF (NYSE:VNQ) at around 3.5%, and maybe the Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF if someone is feeling adventurous.

The dollar's dominance is quietly cracking, which will likely lead to a significant macro shift in the coming years. While I have bet heavily on several real asset sectors, they have all soared materially higher since I started investing in them. I detail two of the best opportunities remaining in the real asset space to benefit from the coming macro shift.
