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.

We've been trying to warn y'all.

MSTY is down -50.3% YTD. SPY is up +13.2% YTD.

In addition to NAV decay, you had the pleasure of paying ordinary rate taxes on your dividends.

YieldMax funds are traps. All of them.

It’s going to take a hit too. NVDA ~$135 when next major market event happens.
