From any financial measurement perspective taught in MBA business schools -- MSTY is more risky than MSTR. By several orders of magnitude.
Hey, I'm not promoting it... I'm just comparing results. I hope none of you bozos buy it so the price can stay cheap for me . Ask @johnarb how it worked out for him...he picked up a couple nice paydays.
Similarly all the individual stock dividend-focused income investments) in my IRA made between 1994 to 2011 (after I rolled over an under-performing 401K(s) with limited investment options from a previous employer(s)) have done very well. All were placed in large well-known dividend paying companies; CAT, JNJ, KO, MO, PFE, PG, PM, RCL, SNA, UNP, UPS, XOM, etc. have done very well. Over time they have been converted to Roth -- so it means consistent (and regularly increasing) tax-free income. It is interesting to note that some selections were made because I had good interactions with the businesses. For example Home Depot opened its first store in Raleigh in fall of 1994 on Capital Blvd. I shopped at that location, had a positive experience, looked further into the company and made the investment late in that year.
Someone in my group has this on in MSTR. 1W. 5/2 payoff within 1sigma. My structure but he traded it. 10K delta, 5K vega. Infinitely better than what the ETF guys are structuring.
I started this msty thread, imho, msty is a good investment as long as bitcoin is in a bull market bitcoin did not go below $100k for a whole week I trust bitcoin price for the next 6-7 months, which will benefit mstr share price for the next 6-7 months msty will benefit as its performance is dependent on mstr A couple of things I learned as a result of the discussions here 93% of the msty funds are in short term treasuries, securities and cash msty nav is currently growing at a very fast pace If one is invested in msty, it is important to keep an eye on the bitcoin and mstr price action, but msty does not appear to anywhere near a collapse, imho
