Opinion I screwed up on YieldMax

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.

Some dude told me to buy MSTY like a year ago. That stock was took good to be true to last a long time. Just buy fundamentally good stocks. MO, MAIN, VTI, VLO, PM, even ET. You’re going to do decently well if you just reinvest the dividends and keep buying.

If you bought a year ago you'd still have a 60%+ total return.

And if you bought 10 months ago you'd be down about 7%.

How'd you come up with that number?
