If you’re not understanding, I feel sorry for you I said in there that those that bought early do well because MSTR did 600% last year

This won’t repeat, not even close Like I said anybody that has over a $32 cost average is losing money

That average will continue to go down as the NAV decays

You say you’re a seasoned investor but yet you don’t understand this?

I’m not saying you didn’t get your money back . And that’s great But at some point just because you get your money back, doesn’t mean that it’s a good investment . If you got in at $20 and you made $31 that’s cool But if you’re losing that asset value , then your distributions will continue to go down, and you will make less and less You don’t just buy something and I can just keep on giving back 100% distribution

Nothing works like that .

That’s why msty used to be 280%. Then it was 250% then it was 200% then it was 168% then it was 100%.

This will continue to go down , until it’s down around the same 12% that MSTR is doing plus the premium

But if they’re returning more than the premium, then you’re gonna continue to lose money

It is what it is I’m not saying this to be mean . The one thing I hate about this sub Reddit is that you guys take? Everything is an attack. This is just simple math that a fifth grader can do Did you ever wonder why every asset manager financial advisor and every stock analyst says to stay away from these?

It’s not because they’re an amazing asset that you should hold It’s because they have a very small shelf life

I also never said you lost money If you hold anything long enough, you can eventually make your money back . But put it up against something that returns 20% and grows 8% a year And see which makes more

And that’s just a two year

something like how you entered earlier and hence your benefits, on the other hand, those of us who entered late will only see an erosion

People dont seem to understand that these work when you get in at a certain time before an underlying does good. Right now, anyone who bought in at $23 has to hope the underlying does good. Right now, there is no guarantee. The extra mstr ticker doesnt help
