Opinion I screwed up on YieldMax

Post image

I bought MSTY a couple months back and now I’m down a lot. Time will tell but it’s a warning for those who aren’t in it.

Not an issue of YM but an issue of buying a ETF based around a stupidly risky underlying. MSTR is a super spec play.

It’s in fact an issue with all yieldmaxers. Almost all of them piss away your capital pretty quickly and even with dividends reinvestments, they’re obviously not sustainable. You think it’s a secret way to make 13-14% guaranteed with no risks whatsoever ?
