I officially got the frick out. Overall, since February, I made about $4,000. I think I was $28,000 in DIVs and $24,000 on taking a L. It was fun while it lasted but I'm bowing back to my TradFi self.
I joined you. I lost a couple % between dividends and share price. I was in it for a few months. It was a fun experiment but my 2nd worst trade of the year.

These covered call/high income ETFs are best used as a trade, even the big boys like JEPQ and JEPI.
Buy in relatively expensive markets, but sell and go to QQQM/QQQ on a 20% pullback or something like that. It’s probably a poor strategy to buy and hold for like 5 years, for example.

Im one of those that never dripped back into until the dividends paid for my entry "fee".
So my money is not tied up in it. My profits are. So I will protect those with stop losses.

I’m inclined to wait it out today. But, I told myself 5.50 is the point of no return. I think next week they announce a distribution reduction and that will cement my opinion.

I just cashed out. I think I lost about $200 after it was all said and done. Yieldmax is like Disney. It’s something feel obligated to experience despite knowing you’ll probably regret the decision.

it was a fun run to play with.
i feel way more safer with BITO, XDTE, JEPQ, YYY, etc.
i think i am done with yieldmax as well.

Was thinking about sitting September out as it's normally a down month.
Trying to figure out where I want to put my YM money.
I like XDTE, QQQI, and SPYI, XDTE seems to pay the best of those.
I've been trying to use these income ETFs as an "extra HYSA"

Why is the MSTY dividend getting paid already? It was only $.60 per share this time. I have lost a bunch because of them lately.

To stabilize the NAV, YM moved all of these ETFs to weekly.

If that’s the reason, they should return to the drawing board, considering they both hit new 52 week lows every day this week.
I just checked and since its inception ULTY has been outperformed by the S&P by 2.5x.
If I was to bet, we’re 3-4 weeks away from the point of no return for anyone that bought after 4/1.

Will I be getting more dividends (weekly from MSTY), or they just changed the dates of multiple ETFS so a different one will pay out this week and another a different week?

All of these hit 52 week lows this week. Also, they all paid dividends and the price of every dividend stock/etf drops the amount of the divi.
I just did the math on every holding I have. With the NAV issue, I am up in all of them.
Ulty, until this week and this weeks market conditions, has been steady.
On sept 4th, Ulty was at 5.46. It was moving up through Oct 10th and
like everything else that day, it dropped to 5.32. By the 14th, it was back to 5.42.
Since they changed Ulty, it's been steady. Thus the changes to the rest of them.
They are not for everybody, and some people prefer to do other things (and I do other strategies like selling calls). I have these. Drip has been turned off and I have recouped most of my initial investments. Some I have already turned back on and will leave on because at this point, it's their money invested into me.

The former weeklies will be announced on Tuesday and will be paid Thursday

I think it’s time for an intervention my friend. It’s down to 5.15. Even if the underlying stocks improve…an anchor weighs the fund down.
The NAV is eroding because their calls continue to come up short. On top of that, the management fees are paid first. In addition to that, they have operational expenses. Now they’re also buying puts for protect downside protection…that’s one more additional expense.
The ETF is mere weeks away from a reverse split.
