It's done really well.

It's trading at $100.

You don't think it's got much upside on it, but you love the stock and you want to keep it for its dividend or whatever.

You want to sell an option to put option where someone could buy it off you at $120 if it goes up to $120.

And that just means that the stock goes beyond that price you've had to sell at $120.

But in time, you're getting paid an extra option, a column, to basically fund extra income, basically.

Yeah, and it works really well for clients in pension phase because most of them are not going to pay any capital gains tax if it is triggered.

So for the other people, it's a concern when you're in accumulation or you've got stocks outside in your own name, that if it does trigger the option, that suddenly you've got a capital gain to pay.

But if you're in pension phase in a super fund, you don't care.

Income is income and it's tax-free in pension phase.

So they're internally geared, basically.

So they're giving you double the exposure to a downturn in the market.

The problem is every time I've looked at them, they've just not performed.

It has happened a few times.

And if you look at them, by the time people go into them, they're too late.

I think there's studies out there, if you miss the best 10 days or the worst 10 days in the market over a 10-year period, that you're missing most of the upside or downside.

I personally have tried them a couple of times, but I've been in there and out very quickly.

I tend to do the other one instead of, because I can never call when something's going to happen, but I'm ready with my opportunity fund when it does happen.

I buy into the geared ETFs.

There are a few out there now.
