That’s because you’re you don't understand High Yield ETF's. They’re designed for income, not capital growth. A 50% yield isn’t a red flag — it’s a feature of the strategy. NAV will drop in lean cycles because they maintain the payout by design. They’re built to monetize volatility through premium selling — which, you can replicate yourself as I have shown with (the original) high yield system I developed called the Hulk strategy.
And what if a personal emergency in your life forced you to sell MSTY at its current price (21.50) after having paid 42.30 for it? Those dividends you've collected would help but not much.
??? Those dividends you've collected would help out very much lol. You would have collected $43,407.57 in dividends so in that worst case scenario you would only be down $-6275 on your investment. It's like dividend haters try to ignore dividends received as capital lol.
MSTY - Worst case scenario Start date 19-Nov-2024 Price 42.30 Investment $100,000 Shares 2,364 Unrealized gains/loss -$49,692.67 Dividends received $43,407.57 NAV $93,715 Monthly income $5,425.95 ($-6285) You’re down $6,285 on paper, sure — but you’ve already received $43,407.57 in income. That’s real cash, paid monthly. You can’t just ignore the income because it didn’t come from capital gains. This is an income strategy, not a buy-and-hold growth stock. Even without DRIP, you're collecting $5,425.95 per month — that’s the income. The math is simple: $43,407.57 (dividends received) – $49,692.67 (unrealized loss) = net return of -$6,285.
What you're calling "income" is nothing more than MSTY giving you your own money. Where do you think that dividend money comes from? I'm done with this discussion,you've already hijacked and derailed the OP's thread enough.
No it isn't lol...read the prospectus. If it is ROC its even better for taxes though. You do realize I am giving you worst case scenario here right? Want to see what a worst case scenerio looks like with IBIT? Here is MSTY since inception: Start date 23-Feb-2024 Price 21.60 Investment $100,000 Shares 4,630 Unrealized gains/loss -$2,175.93 Dividends received $177,632.41 Yield 177.63% NAV $275,456 Monthly income $11,842.16
MSTY outperforms MSTR with DRIP — that’s the whole point. It’s an income compounding vehicle, not a raw capital bet. ✅ Corrected Comparison: Asset Return Since Feb 23, 2024 MSTY (with DRIP) +175.6% MSTR +60.26% And the only knock is that it doesn't do 500% like a leveraged growth asset? Come on — 177% total return with monthly income and reduced volatility? That’s not a weakness — it’s a design feature. Different tools for different jobs. MSTY prints income — MSTR rides the rollercoaster. Pick what fits your strategy — or run both.
So...let me get this....u get $43k in dividends over a time period where your investment LOST $49k...in the same time period that SPX GAINED roughly 5.5%. Income don't matter..just the BOTTOM LINE....MONEY IN v MONEY BACK. What am I not seeing in this genius system?
