Brand new series: Income Investing Education Series on Dividend Stockpile

In this episode, I sit down with Si Katara from TappAlpha to break down one of the most talked-about topics in the income investing world right now:

👉 0DTE options strategies vs. 30-day options strategies

What’s the difference?
Which approach generates more consistent income?
How does risk actually compare?
And what should income-focused investors understand before choosing one over the other?

We dive deep into:

• What 0DTE (Zero Days to Expiration) options really are
• How 30-day options strategies are typically structured
• Income potential vs. risk tradeoffs
• Volatility exposure and time decay differences
• Portfolio impact and capital efficiency
• Who each strategy may (or may not) be appropriate for

With the explosion of 0DTE trading activity in the options market, many income investors are asking whether shorter-duration strategies offer better yield—or simply higher risk. Si explains how both approaches work under the hood and how professional managers think about managing risk, drawdowns, and consistency.

If you’re investing in covered call ETFs, income-focused ETFs, or building your own options income strategy, this discussion will help you better understand the mechanics behind these strategies.

As always, this series is about education — not selling.
