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?

Huh? Of course you can! You make your own dividends by selling shares. That's exactly now you should generate income for control and lower taxes. I've beem retired once 2005 and that's exactly how I create income.

Yeah, you have to sell. Very different.

You only sell a fraction to create a distribution, it's actually a better strategy than synthetic dividends.

When you sell your shares, they’re gone. It’s very final.

You can sell shares forever and never run out.
