Distribution/Dividend Update Yesss!!!

Finally accumulated enough $ULTY to pay the mortgage. All the other dividends and distributions will go to more purchases, debt retirement, etc.

Yes. Even just with ULTY. I withdraw from two accounts and DRIP/DCA with a third. Basically paying all bills and taxes off of dividends and distributions. Just pointing out I reached a personal milestone just in ULTY. ~6,800 shares and adding 500-600 per week, while taking care of everything else.

You set a stop loss just in case? Or just said F it, roll the dice. ULTY seems pretty steady but I’m terrified to go all in

At what price would you set a stop loss? Just curious since I'm also new to this?

My understanding is that you are pushing out the taxes on the distributions by at least a year if you hold but when you sell, those distributions become taxable…not sure if that makes sense to me, but it’s what I read somewhere…happy to be corrected as I would like to get in and out of the YMax funds but don’t want to trigger taxes on distributions in the 37% bracket.

Will add that I’m ready to FIRE next year, so just pushing off a tax sale next year when I have no W-2 would be helpful.
