    I just quoted it's RECENT performance since Nov 2024....overall it has LOST you money since then. Are you actually disagreeing with me on that?
    "And even in the worst case scenario you still come out fine BECAUSE of the dividend.". If being negative after 7 months is fine by you then we have differing views on profit.

    You have replied with a best case scenario? Big deal. You think everyone else here is stupid and will just go wow look at that performance. But it doesn't matter what something did in the PAST or HINDSIGHT talk. We can all talk about how we'd love to have bought bitcoin 10 years ago and still be holding it.

    I'll let the man himself explain it. Keep scrolling to his 2nd post on the thread. Hopefully your reading comprehension is adequate.

    Of course he's going to come up with some explanation save his business, since that's the only way he's making money. :)

    Plot twist: I didn't read it.

    Maybe math isn’t your thing — or reading comprehension stopped evolving after Curious George — so let me spell it out for you. I posted the worst-case scenario and performance since inception, and even the worst case probably beats your overcomplicated, underperforming setup!

    Let’s be honest — the hate isn’t about my numbers. It’s about your ego.

    You thought you were a rockstar day trader with your six monitors and your 0.005% returns, cosplaying as Roaring Kitty or “Quadgambler420” or whatever internet hero made a buck in a bull market.

    Now along come high-yield dividends — and suddenly some so-called "nube" can park their money, collect monthly income, and outperform your stress-fueled clickfest.

    No wonder you're bitter. You just found out passive income beats pretend alpha.

    These are the numbers from my sheet with NO DRIP!

    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 - 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

    BTW this is essentially my Hulk strategy in action that I posted here prior to any of these high yield dividends being launched. :)

    Jeez, maybe English isn't your first language (and that would explain your confusion). You really don't have to keep continually posting best case scenarios.

    All I asked you to confirm was that SINCE 19 NOV 2024 your investment (income AND current value of holding) is DOWN 6k. Can you answer that question or not? I really can't make it any simpler for you.

    Confirm??? That’s literally the example I posted of the worst-case scenario — meaning had you bought at the most recent highs before the downturn, and therefore had the least time for dividends to accumulate. And even then, it’s down only ~$6K. Do you need me to explain the numbers to you???

    Here it is again from my spreadsheet using raw data:

    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

    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

    Now, shall we run the worst-case scenario for MSTR? Go ahead and ask @johnarb — spoiler alert: it’s a lot more than a $6K loss.

    So your reading comprehension IS non-existent (as suspected).

    Good.. you admit that since NOVEMBER 2024....6 MONTHS and counting...y

    our total investment is DOWN 6K :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:. As in it LOST money while the broader market was UP 5.5%. That's all I asked for. Not fussed about HINDSIGHT "wow look if I bought this when it was away down here"

    and nope..did I even ask about MSTR? Pay attention !

    I think what’s really going on is you’re just butt hurt that MSTY’s been a money-printing machine, and your little day-trading brain just can’t comprehend how it works.

    High-yield dividends are about monthly income, compounding, and long-term outperformance — not scalping pennies with stop-losses lol.

    Cool story bro. You keep telling everyone about your "money-printing machine" that has printed NEGATIVE dollars since NOVEMBER 2024. Then when you get yourself all excited, get that electric Prius of yours down to the supermarket carpark tonight, slam it into the red and do some donuts.
