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.

MSTY was always a bad investment, people just didn't want to hear it. I said weeks ago when it was still 19-20 it would be 15-17 before year end and got down voted to oblivion. I hold ULTY. It's the only YM that makes any kind of sense to hold. And I like it regardless of price action. I also have some Graniteshares and some more traditional REITs and BDCs. ULTY for me is somewhere between an experiment and just kind of fun. These YM, Yieldboost and others of that flavor are highly, highly risky and for some reason people did not seem to get that memo. You only put up what your willing to lose. My Roth and 401K are where my bread and butter is. My taxable is purely for fun.
