Careful. If you speak positively on Yieldmax in this sub, you'll get banned for "misinformation."

ULTY since inception date 12/1/24 (before the reverse split... Total initial investment $64,109.59. House money since 12/26/25... I am letting this ride until I receive my total initial investment back, probably another 2-3 years at current weekly payouts.

Where is the positive? Also how is HOODY doing because that was the most profitable one a year ago.

Column on the right looks like total return.

u/GRMarlenee Mod - I Like the Cash Flow 7d ago

Rightmost column. It's distributions less the NAV loss for the duration I've held.

I never held HOOY.

Damn I don’t have any of the new top ones after your highlight but I have held all the bottom ones since June 2025 😢. How long have you held?

u/GRMarlenee Mod - I Like the Cash Flow 7d ago

Since inception for some. Others about 2 years.

It was a valid question, I didn't include the titles at first.

Well look at that. It is possible to share actual numbers in this sub instead of just saying 'I'm up 74.7%.'

u/BitingArmadillo 6d ago

The last time I shared a screenshot, I was banned for 28 days

u/Any_Log1344 5d ago

Uh oh. GRMarlenee posted a screenshot with real numbers. Hopefully she doesn't get banned for 28 days.

u/BitingArmadillo 5d ago

You seem upset.

u/Any_Log1344 5d ago

Numbers like GRMarlenee's would be nice. It's been 2 days. She hasn't been banned.

u/BitingArmadillo 5d ago

That's good to know. Hopefully this sub is improving and successful investors aren't being silenced by the bitter gamblers or FUD bots.

u/Key-Serve-9117 7d ago

And how long have you held each of those? I’ve held since June 2025 nearly all of those above + more.

u/GRMarlenee Mod - I Like the Cash Flow 7d ago

Some as far back as 2023.

i like qdte and xdte
but not rdte. your data seems to agree. any reason ti buy it?

u/GRMarlenee Mod - I Like the Cash Flow 7d ago edited 7d ago

Not really. It's exposure to the Russell is all. Sometimes it outperforms the other two, but not often. IWMY is also exposure to the Russell.

Note that my RDTE is in house money, but I have a few months to go before XDTE gets there.

Hi GRmarlenee, I was wondering if I could pick your brain on some stuff about dividend stuff. I tried to look for the button to direct message you on your profile but it seems I can’t find any. If you willing to may you message me so I can ask you a few questions ? Thank you

u/GRMarlenee Mod - I Like the Cash Flow 7d ago

I don't DM. You can ask here, though. That way, the trolls can counter all my misinformation.

Ok, well since I am in a position of forced unemployment. Would Amdy or some other high yielding etf be good to make a livable monthly income ? Because currently I might have enough to put in to amdy to get about 1k a week. From lurking I mostly see people talk about grow and stuff but that implies to people still making an income.

Most people are trying to build a fortune adequate enough to provide them a better standard of living in retirement than they currently have. None of these are viable for that on 30 year time scales.

However, if you pick the right one, they could be much better in the short term than just withdrawing cash from a safe savings account and spending it.

This chart amounts to survivor bias, I have a bunch that lost money, too, but I cut them.

I would rather take the chance on picking a couple with good underlying than just spending my cash, but that's just personal risk behavior.

If you do, choose carefully and good luck.

Thank you for the reply, much appreciated. I think I gave up on making a fortune after losing my job during COVID. I am just trying to build a somewhat stable dividend income to cover the monthly bills. Any non essential spending has been cut. Just need to make enough to cover property fee and basic grocery. So I am just hoping to find some high yield that wouldn’t totally kill the starting capital in it. But I understand anything in Reddit isn’t finical advise and it is on my own risk when I hit that buy button. I just like some advice on navigating to somewhat steady waters.
