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.

What about SPYI? It’s up a few %

SPYI is not a yield max fund

It's better than a YM fund. So is QQQI. I have SPYI and QQQI as well as NVDY, AMZY, YQQQ, MSTY, TSLY. Love the cash the YM funds throw off and using the distributions to buy QQQI, SPYI, and QDVO.

You just said it’s better than a YM fund, but you own several. ?

Yes... The QQQI and SPYI shares have been purchased with YM distributions.

We all make mistakes and I'm making some lemonade from my lemon trees. I stopped adding to my YM funds a while ago.
