    $100K in IBIT @ $49 → $2 move = $4,082 profit
    Reinvest in MSTY @ $21.50 = ~190 shares
    Monthly income: $235.60

    But if you just held $100K in MSTY:
    Missed dividend: $5,767.44

    You're giving up $5,767/month to gain $235/month
    Break-even: ~24.5 months


    Conclusion:
    You're picking up nickels in front of a steamroller.

    But that's not what I'm doing....

    Within the 30 days or so between the divs MSTY can go up, down or flat. No point holding dropping or flat shares during the period; I'd rather put my money in MSTR or something safer like NVDA, then jump back into MSTY for div. The only downside is if MSTY appreciates more during the period than alternative trading, but the last 6 months or so has seen MSTY losing its value, that is until yesterday's BTC/MSTR rally.

    Yes, yes, buy low sell high. If it was so easy...
    What I'm learning from this market is, when everything on my list is ATH I freeze, unwilling to join the buying spree and get caught in the rug pull, especially in these uncertain times. Instead I watch stocks climb and feel like I'm missing out.

    I hate to say this, but I wouldn't mind a sharp reversal just about now, a reset of some sort before the MSTY div drop. I'm not one to let money sit but I have more of it inactive now than in some time.

    There might be a reversal depending on the outcome of some crypto bills being decided soon

    MSTY dropped back to 21.7, looks like my exit at 22 was the right call... 7 days to go, hoping for a further slide closer to 21.

    No point if you miss the dividend. You’re adding extra effort, extra risk — It’s the trading equivalent of taking the stairs instead of the escalator. :)
