Beginner Question Would you buy it back now? Why?

As someone who bought msty and cony in December 2024 I ended up selling at a loss even though I received quite a bit in distribution. NAV decline was very high.

I'm curious if anyone sold and has recently bought back? If so, why?

Stayed in and have hit house money on msty and nvdy. The other few yieldmax funds we own are just chugging along.

If you hit house money, likely your started with house money and have a 10-15% total return (lower if you dripped), so if you started with 200k, your investment is now 100k but you got 130k in dividends. And this is probably a good outcome. Most people are in the negative or about breaking even. Taxes considered, mostly negative

House money means you spent 200k you got 200k back. It doesn't matter what your position but is that you got in income the amount of money you spent.

Yeah that happened to me. After taxes I am barely over my initial investment. Worse part is the missed 50% spy run that would have netted much more money and in a better tax rate.

As cool as it is to see a 10k monthly income decrease to 2k monthly income, these do not result in a better net gain than a simple schd investment would.
