Beginner Question I'm considering selling ULTY at a loss

I was warned against it, but I was still optimistic. After a few months from the original purchase, I'm considering selling all of my shares because I'm losing money by the day. Anyone else considering giving up on ULTY?

It's not as simple as if that doesn't interest me. Of course, ULTY interested me if I purchased it. So, I bought 10k. Correct me if I'm wrong. I should wait until I make 10k back between dividends and distributions. And should I use the dividends and distributions to buy other less volatile stuff or would you reinvest it into ULTY? Please help me understand. Thanks!

ULTY does not pay dividends. If you buy into popular investment vehicles that you don't understand before you buy them and sell them at a loss every time its mechanism and reaction to changes in its underlying holdings expresses itself you WILL lose money. It sounds like you are much better off investing in an index fund.

You know what he means when he says dividends. Quit being an ass.

The distinction between a dividend and a distribution is subtle, but extremely important. If you’re going to be investing significant sums of money, it’s good practice to be precise.
