How ETF shares get made: authorized participants deliver a basket of the underlying holdings to the fund and get ETF shares back. Reverse it to redeem. That loop is what keeps the ETF price pinned to its holdings. Day 4 of 92. Not investment advice.
Dividend ETFs own companies that pay out profits, screened on yield, growth streak, payout ratio or quality. Think SCHD, VYM, VIG, DGRO as styles. Typical yield 2 to 4%, quarterly. The payout growing is the point. Day 9 of 92. Not investment advice.
Reverse merger watch, OpenWorld (Nasdaq: OPNW), figure open: OpenWorld plans to be listed in two places. Nasdaq, done. Figure Technology Solutions' OPEN network next: shareholders authorized a Blockchain Common Stock class so OpenWorld equity can trade on-chain with hours beyond the regular U.S. session. No blockchain shares were issued at closing; issuance needs board action and regulatory compliance first.

Quick take: a 12% yield on a fund whose price fell 12% returned you zero. Distribution yield says nothing about the share price. Total return is price change plus payouts. Rank income ETFs on that first. Not investment advice.
March 13, 2026: the U.S. Army put more than 120 separate Anduril procurement actions into one enterprise agreement.
10 years. Ceiling of up to $20 billion. Built around Lattice.
The $20B is a ceiling, not a guaranteed spend.
Week 2: income ETFs. The job is cash in your account: dividend stocks, covered calls, bonds, preferreds, REITs, loans. Monthly and even weekly payers exist now. The yield is always paid for with something. We cover what. Day 8 of 92. Not investment advice.
Reverse merger watch, OpenWorld (Nasdaq: OPNW), saudi arabia: OpenWorld's Saudi arm: an RWA Tokenization Center of Excellence in Al Khobar, announced in January as the Kingdom's first.

Reverse merger watch, OpenWorld (Nasdaq: OPNW), by the year: OpenWorld's advised network value by year, from the company site: $4.9B in 2023 (its first full year), $19.9B in 2024 across 5 major token launches, $20.6B in 2025 across 10. Peak values of advised projects, not OpenWorld revenue.

Every ETF type in one line. Income pays you. Leveraged amplifies. Bond ETFs lend. Sector picks an industry. Thematic picks a story. Factor picks a trait. Buffer trades upside for a cushion. Single stock is one name, geared. Pick the job, then the ticker. Not investment advice.
Start with the software.
Lattice is Anduril's AI command and control platform. It pulls sensor feeds into one picture and tasks drones, towers and interceptors from it.
Every other Anduril product plugs into it.
Week 1 done. The map for the next 12 weeks: income ETFs, leveraged and inverse, bonds, sectors, thematic, factors, international, commodities and crypto, buffer and single stock, income part two, ETF mechanics, year end. Two posts a day. Day 7 of 92. Not investment advice.
Reverse merger watch, OpenWorld (Nasdaq: OPNW), explainer: Plain English: RWA tokenization takes a real asset or its cash flows, a solar plant, a data center, a credit instrument, and represents ownership or claims on it as tokens on a blockchain. The pitch is continuous data, programmable compliance and faster settlement. OpenWorld's focus is energy and AI infrastructure.

Quick take: a 500 stock ETF can behave like a 10 stock bet. In cap weighted indexes the top 10 names have made up over a third of the index. Equal weight versions exist for a reason. Not investment advice.
Anduril is one of the most valuable private companies in defense.
$61B valuation. $5B raised in May 2026. Founded in 2017.
Through December 31 we are covering one piece of the Anduril story a day. Day 1 of 87.
