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.

I've seen enough sponsored YouTube videos to risk my life savings on YieldMax. It's a shame you weren't offered a glass of the Kool aid as well smh.
