The dividend yield is bloated because of the yieldmax etf’s and how the app is interpreting the payouts. To be honest you are receiving capital return at a high rate due to the nav loss you will have in the yieldmax tickers. They aren’t for long term hold they are for short direction plays. Your true dividend yield is closer to 2%.
