current roster plus event stream
Buffered + capped-upside ETFs used as a vol-regime signal. Innovator buffered series — BUFR (laddered) + BJAN/BAPR/BJUL/BOCT (quarterly, ~9% buffer) + PJAN/PAPR/PJUL/POCT (Power Buffer, ~15%) + UJAN/UAPR/UJUL/UOCT (Ultra Buffer, ~30%). Buffer-ish covered-call wrappers — JEPI (S&P income), JEPQ (Nasdaq income), DIVO (covered call dividend), QYLD (Nasdaq covered call). Benchmarks — SPY (underlying), VIXY (vol comp). The signal: BUFR at ATH + RSI 70+ = low-vol melt-up; BUFR breaking down from ATH = vol regime change.
