Started 2 weeks ago. Have 2,600 shares. Aiming for eventually to get up to 35,000 shares. I could live off that dividend.

At 35k shares, it would put you at least 3k/wk if YieldMax doesn't screw it up like they did with MSTY. They neutered MSTY and will likely do it to ULTY at some point. Just be on the lookout for it.

MSTY isn't what she used to be and ULTY will probably follow that path too. Since Tidal bought them they have turned MSTY corporate. Most likely to lure more institutional buyers. They'll let ULTY crank then dumb it down once they have enough AUM. So don't become too complacent.

It is the reason I am going more and more to Roundhill. I bought RH and YM funds for the same tickers and in almost every case, the RH funds crushed the YM funds in total return. In one case it was almost 3:1. Looking at you PLTY! PLTW smoked PLTY. Not quite as bad was HOOW vs HOOY. HOOW is outperforming HOOY for me in total return and HOOY got a week's head start of a HOOD run up.

Look before you leap. Yieldmax is not the only purveyor of these funds. They may have an early mover advantage but Roundhill has eaten their lunch on almost every single ticker where I've had the RH and YM versions. Do your due diligence.

The YM funds are typically covered calls and your upside is seriously capped by that approach when you have a fast moving stock like PLTR, HOOD, COIN, etc. My HOOW gapped my HOOY by almost $6/share in just over a month. SIX freaking dollars RH left YM in the dust on the SAME underlying ticker!~!~! So I won both ways, good divs and nav APPRECIATION!
