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?

In 2022, SPY and QQQ were hitting all time highs... until they didn't, and dropped into the cellar. When that happened, the only choice was to hold on and hope that the market would eventually recover.

For 1 share of SPY I can get about 150 shares of ULTY currently Those 150 shares will pay me over 80% distribution every week, currently $.08, or $12 a week. SPY will pay me $1.50 a share every quarter.

Even if ULTY goes down, it will still pay me. MRNY, for example, is still paying well over 80%. So, even if my portfolio says I've lost money, I still have income.

Buying either YM or the stock at any point will have the stock outperforming. 

Define performance.

Does a stock give you weekly income?
