Why this is held
YieldMax USO Option Income Strategy. Covered calls on USO (the WTI oil ETF). The non-equity fuel rod — a small position that adds energy-cycle exposure to the core, decoupling that piece of the income engine from tech and crypto. Recently topped up specifically on the view that oil is in for a turbulent stretch when (or if) the current Iran situation resolves — either resolution path tends to produce sharp price moves, and sharp price moves are exactly what a covered-call income strategy wants. Volatility is the product.
Position metrics
YES (Yield Efficiency Score) combines yield, NAV trend, and stability — above 0.5 is generally favorable. NAV decay is the value-weighted annualized drift in price. This holding is in the volatile set and is excluded from the conservative portfolio view.
