My portfolio doesn’t just cater to dividend stocks. I hold $VFIAX (S&P 500 index fund) in my Roth IRA and $VTI (Total Stock Market ETF) in my taxable brokerage account. Two of my largest holdings. The individual dividend stock positions all complement the index holdings.
I think the safest strategy is to diversify investments. Like spreading investments across different asset classes, like bonds, real estate, and international stocks, they can reduce the impact of a market meltdown
Agreed! this is why I work with one. My $520k portfolio is well-matched for every market season yielding 85% rise from early last year to date. I and my advsor are working on more figures for this year. IMO, financial advisors are the most sought-after professionals after doctors.
This is definitely considerable! think you could suggest any professional/advisors i can get on the phone with? I'm in dire need of proper portfolio allocation
CAMILLA MARIE FULLER... has always been on the top of my list..She is regarded as a genius in her area and well knowledgeable about financial markets. I highly recommend you look her up if you want excellent collaboration.
I have gotten NAV appreciation with NVDY plus around 58% yield , AMZY has done well also, I see CONY going back up again eventually. I try to put half the dividends back into my yieldmax funds and the rest goes into more stable things like SCHD, KO, IBM , even QYLD.
@@mrjsanchez1 TBH I used to talk all kinds of smack about the YieldMax funds, but then it occurred to me to do this same thing - put half of the dividends back into the fund and then put the other half into something more stable that I already have like SCHD, SPYI, IDVO, PFFA, etc. So yesterday when I saw CONY take that 10% dip, I picked up a couple hundred shares. How it's gonna do? IDK but if you run the risk of losing capital in a fund that has a 💩 dividend yield ALSO, then at least you're getting SOME return out of it regardless. Besides, it's only a couple hundred shares so it's not a HUGE chunk of my portfolio anyways. If I can have enough there where it's paying out the same amount that I'm already depositing into the account on my own, then for however long it lasts I'm effectively halving the amount of time I need to put in to growing my portfolio. Who cares if I lose out on my initial investment of a couple thousand, if the returns I get from dividends are more than the buy-in was?
question: In worst case, let's say the share prices goes to $5 eventually, do the dividend per share stays the same? If the dividend goes down then it's the issue. But let's say I have set the option to reinvest automatically, and if the dividend stays same, wouldn't it buy more shares? and hence the more dividend eventually? Tell me bluntly if I'm day-dreaming!
I'm a reverse split situation, your shares get cut in half, your average cost price doubles and your dividend gets cut in half. Go look at TSLY as the example. I lost half my shares and over half the dividend. I am down $70 K on a $100 K investment. YieldMax is a capital destruction model @@jigneshnakrani9585
If we are to survive in this economic crisis we need assistance right away. The ETF and stock markets are still quite volatile, just like the property market. I'm still at a crossroads deciding if to liquidate my $300k stock portfolio
Many people are still getting fantastic returns on their investments during this time. Simply maintain a strong sense of reality or ask for professional assistance.
Due to my demanding job, I lack the time to thoroughly assess my investments and analyze individual stocks. Consequently, for the past seven years, I have enlisted the services of a fiduciary who actively manages my portfolio to adapt to the current market conditions. This strategy has allowed me to navigate the financial landscape successfully, making informed decisions on when to buy and sell. Perhaps you should consider a similar approach.
this is definitely considerable! think you could suggest any professional/advisors i can get on the phone with? i'm in dire need of proper portfolio allocation
Finding financial advisors like Sophia Maurine Lanting who can assist you shape your portfolio would be a very creative option. There will be difficult times ahead, and prudent personal money management will be essential to navigating them.
A lot of news have been going on about a rally after the election, urging investors to watch out for stocks that would be experiencing significant growth. Any idea which stocks to put on my watchlist? I just sold my home in the Boca Grande area and I’m looking to remunerate a lump sum into the stock market for regular income, but not sure of the right picks.
yes, transportation, e-commerce among other sectors are expected to experience growth, but who knows, the market has been a basket of surprises lately, it's better you consult a financial specialist
Tbh, market uncertainties are the reason I don’t base my judgement on a ''heresay'' 2020 had me holding rumored hot stocks, so I had to revamp entire portfolio through the aid of a professional before realizing any significant gains. I've been using same approach to date, having scaled up nearly 250% of my $500k investment, it's been 4 years and counting.
good gains! I once saw on the news folks that made fortunes from the Dotcom crash, as well as the 08’ crash and I’ve been looking into similar opportunities in this present markt, does your FA work with any specific persons?
I'll be kind to leave just her name here ''Karen Lynne Chess''. She's a renowned figure in the financial sector with over two decades of experience. I'd suggest you research her further on the web.
excellent share. curiously inputted Karen Lynne Chess on the web, spotted her consulting page and was able to schedule a call session, no sweat. Ive seen commentaries about advisors but not one looks this phenomenal
The biggest improvement with ymax has been prior they used to announce their distribution a week prior, then a whole bunch of people would buy in and they'd be force to pay out much more than they made. Now with smaller payments closer to their declaration date they're not getting wrecked each payment
@ottohumpmachine8958 yes, but they used have declaration date a week ahead of the ex date. Now it's 1 day prior. So people used to see the big monthly dividend and swarm in to capture the dividend. They'd sell millions of extra shares some months. All extra payments they'd have to take out of the nav to make. That's why there used to be a really giant dip on ex day and now it's marginal
I've just begun learning about value investing, and I've found that many good stocks are undervalued despite their intrinsic value. If you had $200,000 to create a strong investment portfolio, which stocks would you choose for better returns?
I agree with you. As an early investor in NVDA, AVGO, ANSS, and LRCX, my financial advisor's advice was incredibly helpful. Over the past 7 years, she has helped me find stocks that did 10x multiple times. With her help, I've grown my portfolio to over a million dollars.
There are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’Judith Lynn Staufer” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look her up.
I just looked up her website on google and I would say she really has an impressive background in investing. I have sent her an email hope she gets back to me soon. Thanks
The idea of investing a significant sum of money may be both thrilling and intimidating. There is potential for considerable wealth increase with the correct strategy. How can one take advantage of compound interest and potentially grow your retirement savings to about $1M over time?
I think the safest strategy is to diversify investments. Like spreading investments across different asset classes, like bonds, real estate, and international stocks, they can reduce the impact of a market meltdown.
A lot of folks downplay the role of advisors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850
Actually, it's a lady! My go-to person is Mary Terese Singh. She's incredibly compassionate and easy to work with. You should definitely check out her work!
Thanks for sharing. I curiously searched for her full name and her website popped up after scrolling a bit. I looked through her credentials and did my due diligence before contacting her. Once again many thanks.
Thanks for your coverage on these funds I’m have been an investor from the beginning and have extensive experience with these funds…these funds are not for everyone they should be held by traders only because of their volatility…but when done correctly extremely profitable…handle this package with care 😂😂😂
Great video, Alan, the coverage is appreciated. I personally use funds like YMAX (love the weekly change) and MSTY as boosters. Defiance and YM provide the punch while the anchors are more conservative, but all still yield over 13% Your coverage is great - thanks.
Actually, I think YMAX could be an enhancement to a retirement account. If you intend to withdraw all of the weekly distributions then that’s a bad plan … but if you only withdraw 10-15% and reinvest the rest you can do this very comfortably. My monthly distributions on YMAX now averages about $12,000 per month. Still reinvesting all distributions at this point. In about 5 years the monthly distribution will be about $50,000 per month. Taking $10,000 per month (or less) it would make for a VERY comfortable retirement when this is added to my pension and Social Security.
I am currently doing just that with this fund. It makes up 10% of my portfolio. I take 50% of all my distributions for my income and reinvest in more conservative etfs. So far the nav depletion has been acceptable.
Great job so far but you seem to be assuming steady dividend payments in the future. Declining NAV means declining dividend payments (or a rising yield, which won't be the case). So you may want to at least plan for that.
The best way to utilize these is to buy in half of the shares you want to hold then wait until you have paid off your capital before you start pocketing the funds. That way you have free money and you've paid off your investment. As long as you hold those shares, you will be paid the dividend for that distribution. These are less about what the value of your investment is and more about the number of shares you hold to create a steady paycheck.
Its worse here, our economy is like a flailing fish, fighting for its life. The normal state of the U.S. economy is actually very bad. Because of this it goes into convulsive spasms fighting to grow any way it can out of desperation. Tricks, gimmicks, rule changes try to stimulate the economy and prevent it from falling but they only bring temporary relief to people since, when you factor in inflation we are declining.
People believe their currency has the worth it does because they have no other option. Even in a hyperinflationary environment, individuals must continue to use their hyperinflationary currency since they likely have minimal access to other currencies or gold/silver coins.
Inflation is gradually going to become part of us and due to that fact any money you keep in cash or in a low-interest account declines in value each year. Investing is the only way to make your money grow and unless you have an exceptionally high income, investing is the only way most people will ever have enough money to retire.
I've tried investing in the stock market several times but always got discouraged by fluctuations of stock value. I would be happy if you could advise me based on how you went about yours, as I am ready to go the passive income path.!!
My CFA NICOLE ANASTASIA PLUMLEE a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further... She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market..
I have over $200k ready to be invested; however, I am having trouble trying to find out what investments would be best during this present economy. Heard index funds and ETFs provide diversified stock market exposure while spreading risk. How true?
I believe a healthy portfolio has 3 things at the bare minimum: exposure to ETFs for increased diversification, exposure to assets that generate cash flow like dividend stocks, and exposure to market-leading tech.
A lot of folks downplay the role of advisors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember a couple of summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to soar my business; hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation from $450k to nearly $2.7M as of today.
I've shuffled through a few professionals in the past but settled with Sophia Verdekal O'neal. You'd most likely find her basic info on the internet. She's well-established with over two decades of experience.
Gold, BTC, quality global stocks, yes, however not property, if the U.S. dollar gets hyperinflation everything becomes worthless in that country, only global assets survive. Yes assets will go up against the U.S. dollar, however the U.S. dollar would become worthless compared to other currencies or global assets. As for property in the U.S, property is a national fiat asset, it would go up in value against the U.S. dollar, however not in other currencies or global assets. .. Anyone feeling the impact of these economic shifts should consider Crypto long-term trading strategies to protect their assets. My advice to anyone feeling the heat in this inflation, just trade long term more than ever, I have made over 520k from day trading with Aldona Šabanienė in few weeks, this is one of the best medium to backup your assets incase it goes bearish..
So impressed knowing how much people talk good about Aldona Sabaniene daily signals .. she also helped me and my friends to trade profitably with her signals.
I lost so much with TSLY and QQQY. The nav erosion is so bad with drip. I wish I could turn back time. Only thing green is NVDY for now. JEPI/JEPQ/SPYI has been solid for me so far. Or just vanguard it and VTSAX/VMFXX. Total market or money market. Don't chase the gains and dump it soon. fml.
Ever since the Weekly payments Defiance reduced their Daily Goals from 0.25% to 0.15%. Hence the low Yields the last few weeks, but hopefully that means minimal Erosion. Combined with more, smaller payments, and the dips aren't painful anymore.
What are you talking about? The fund managers are LITERALLY listed at the bottom of the screen you showed. Zega Financial and Tidal Investments. And Forside distributes the funds on pay days.
Oh, cool. I know Cornerstone, Pimco, and Guggenheim have Drip Discounts, and I know one guy who sells almost all the shares just before the Rights Offering, and then after the price drop he just buys in again. Alas, I use Robinhood, no CEFs for me. Robinhood has fantastic Margin Rates and low Margin Maintenance, though, that makes up for it.
Actually, despite their significant variability, every since YieldMax ETF has realized a resistant point beyond which it will not decrease beyond, except for TRES which was eliminated. So, despite the trending down phenomenon, there is a point in which they are bounce up, thus far to date.
IMHO, you are being overly cautious. If you buy these funds in a dip it’s quite easy to get outsized returns. Same as any other high dividend stock. Don’t drip, deliberately buy. If you would hold the underlying stock, Apple, Amazon, Tesla, MSTR, etc, you should feel safe holding the corresponding Yeildmax fund
Love this, this exactly what i do, i bought at a good price and dca 1 dollar every day into it. It has made me 30% returns JUST in dividends already not including any potential capital growth
Recently got into MSTY and CONY since they are in a dip. I will look to add more after the election. My portfolio as a whole is very safe and conservative so I felt comfortable adding a couple of high risk positions.
Great content, as always! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?
Thanks for this info ! That's why my JP Chase investment acc. blocked me to buy more YMAX, it gave error that this ETF is highly involved in risky cryptocurrency trades ! I was like what?! YMAX is not crypto ETF...But now they are and just added BITO to YMAX recently. I'm selling all YMAX shares on Monday right before elections ! The problem with all these high yield ETF's is that you will never find the bottom, it just keeps falling...
They're likely going to sell call spreads going into earnings or other important dates - that's when these funds get hit hard on their upside caps. Like when nVidia or Tesla has its earnings and they go up by 10%, all that upside gets lost. Thanks for the video!
As of last month I was trading my self I lost almost everything, now it just makes no sense, i have to choose if I'm a trader or face my job so i chose my job, now I'm confused of what etfs to store my funds for long term, maybe a little aggressive ones
Hey buddy! Don't be seduced by large dividends. Concentrate on total return. There is no sense in collecting large dividends if your overall investment is going down however I’d say SPYI, JEPQ, QQI and IWMI. But do your research. Personally I put down 1.3m$ on few ETFs, still diversifying. Earning season is around the corner, It was this time last year I made a huge break through with 200k. Handed it to a firm here in Texas, I get weekly pay out which I put back on long term ETF's. IWM will probably crush it this quarter
4:58 Actually, they DO hold shares of their own bitcoin fund: CONY. It's right below the block you highlighted. It's not OPTIONS on bitcoin, which is the YBIT ETF you mentioned, but it's still bitcoin. Is it weird they're not using their own fund for this? Yes, but not to the point where I wouldn't trust it. For individuals, we're CONSTANTLY told to diversify for safety, and that's smart. But why say you want more diversity from the company, then have a problem when they diversify so much that they spread the risk tolerance to other companies as well? Isn't that like saying, "JUUUUUST in case we're wrong, we're not gonna put ALL our eggs in one basket?"
question: In worst case, let's say the share prices goes to $5 eventually, do the dividend per share stays the same? If the dividend goes down then it's the issue. But let's say I have set the option to reinvest automatically, and if the dividend stays same, wouldn't it buy more shares? and hence the more dividend eventually? Tell me bluntly if I'm day-dreaming!
Yieldmax has too many junk funds so YMAG (the magnificent seven) is a better recommendation than YMAX. I mean, who in their right mind would want an income fund that includes Moderna?
Bought 700 shares of Nvdy at 21.78 in January…. I’m averaging 790 a month right in divys.. all I hear is “nav erosion” it’s an extremely volatile ETF\stock so yeah it will go up and down. When it drops below 25 buy it. I’m 52 and building up for retirement and would never use YM in retirement.
Even if the nav erodes, I honestly don't care at all. In this type of high paying investment it's just a bonus if the nav stays flat or increases. As long as you get your initial investment back through dividend payments, eventually, then every dividend payment after that is just free money.
Why not recommend it for roth ria? Since it rely pretty much on dividend and roth ira is tax free. It sounds a better option for roth ira than brokage account.
My strategy combines ETFs for dividends and growth, including JEPI, DIVO, QYLD, SCHD, and JEPQ. Last year, my dividends totaled $102K. but not sure how to mitigate risk thus far for this year.
I agree with you. As an early investor in NVDA, AVGO, ANSS, and LRCX, my financial advisor's advice was incredibly helpful. Over the past 7 years, she has helped me find stocks that did 10x multiple times. With her help, I've grown my portfolio to over a million dollars.

Thanks for sharing. I curiously searched for her full name and her website popped up immediately. I looked through her credentials and did my due diligence before contacting her.
Right now, i'm attempting to grow my yield max, so the dividends grow my stake and split the dividend payment between growing and feeding other more stable dividend payers. Use it to grow your stable holdings in the short term but continue feeding it as well, so it stays alive.
The S&P 500 finished down 20% in 2022. This means long term investors have a great starting point in 2023. Here are 4 very popular ETF’s: $VOO- S&P 500 fund $VTI- Total US stock market $QQQ- High growth, tech $SCHD- Growth + Dividends| I just tallied my dividends for the year;$167k Blessed and grateful, disciplined and focused.
My "boring" index funds just paid me over $6,000 in dividends last month. This is money that i can choose to spend without having to sell any of my shares. But for now i have it all set to reinvest to buy me even more index funds.
Anyone have recommendations for a reliable monthly investment? I hope to ultimately supplement my income from work with a monthly income from investments. I will still make long-term investments, but it would be wonderful to have a little additional money each month.
Until the Fed clamps down even further I think we're going to see hysteria due to rampant inflation. If you are in cross roads or need sincere advise on the best moves to take now with financial markets will be best you seek a fin-professional with fiduciary responsibilities who knows about mortgage-backed securities for proper guidance.
'Carol Vivian Constable, a highly respected figure in her field. I suggest delving deeper into her credentials, as she possesses extensive experience and serves as a valuable resource for individuals seeking guidance in navigating the financial market.
Easy to budget....just use the average over time or use the smaller amount....anything over budget is just extra spending money.YMAX, ULTY and OARK are the ones I hold...I personally would not hold the 'single stock' ones.
I lost over $80k when everything started to tank. Not because I was in an exchange that went belly up. I was just stupid to hold and because that's what everyone said. I'm still responsible. It just taught me to be a better investor now that I understand more of what could go wrong. It took me over two years of being in the market, I'm really grateful I found one source to recover my money, at least $10k profits weekly. Thanks Natalie Rose Strayer.
Just as an experiment I invested a fraction of one percent of my portfolio into NVDY. A very small sum just to see what happens. It seems to have both positive price return as well as a big total return compared to the other YieldMax funds. But in all honesty I am scratching my head wondering what is the purpose of these ETF's? Even if you get a colossal dividend & that gets you to a point where you break even if the underlying stocks crash you're paying taxes on essentially getting your principal paid back to you. There is no long-term benefit to any of these really. Why purchase an income producing asset that suffers severe depreciation? What's the endgame here?
Very well done sir …your correct and to the point …it’s possible to just end up flat with no real returns…only experienced traders should be in these funds …only they know how to manage their volatility…
Helpful analysis. Staying far away from these funds. Yield traps for sure. Hard pass on anything with eroding NAV, especially in a year when the market is up bigly.
Covered Call strategies is hardly a yield trap. Understanding that will go a long way for your. Some of the single stock tickers with high yields are absolutely yield traps.
@ if the NAV is eroding, I be unloading. 🙅🏻♂️ You get almost all the downside with substantially capped upside (in markets that are up 7.5 out of 10 years). Plus massive tax drag, even in negative years. Plus absurdly high fees that you pay whether the fund performs well or not. Nah man, not for me. Some options strategies make sense in some cases, but none of these YieldMax funds are smart long term investments.
@CalmerThanYouAre1 True indeed.. nothing long term. Just income vehicles for me. I treat them like my rental property and TBH, these are a little better... 😂🤣😂
NAV is way up for my MSTY shares. With these distributions I’m only a few months away from playing with the house’s money. I like free money that keeps printing free money. 🎉
@trippvanmunch since the inception of MSTY, it has returned 156% while MSTR, the underlying holding, has returned 222%. Not only did you underperform, you paid lots of taxes and high fees to do so. And somehow you think you made a smart move. 🤦🏻♂️ You could have taken your original investment off the and been playing with the house’s money long ago if you’d just bought MSTR instead. You’ve essentially underperformed the underlying holding by 30-40% net of taxes and fees while holding the majority of the downside risk anyway and think you’re taking a victory lap. Wake up dude! Before you start adding zeroes to the end of the amount of wealth you’re sacrificing.
I held a couple of these for over a year. My total ROI for their combined stock was barely 1%. Did I end up making a couple of dollars? Yes. Could I have made a lot more investing in better stocks? Absolutely. I can't advise people what to do with their money but my actual experience was that I can make more money investing in other stocks than Yieldmax products.
Am I missing something? For example if I put $1,000 into Cony and the Nav erodes to the point where it is literally showing zero value why would this even matter? Wait it out and get paid in dividends until you regain your initial investment of $1,000. Every dividend after this is free money. I dont care if they do reverse split after reverse split. Who cares because although you may have half the shares each time they reverse split the dividend payment per shar doubles. They can reverse split until the end of the world and I wouldn't care. It has no effect on my dividend payments.
The "extreme high yield / who cares NAV" ETFs from YieldMax and Defiance are: 1) Not all the same. MSTY and NVDY are success stories that should continue to be in the future. 2) Perfect to temporarily invest into in order to generate cash for a big purchase (vacation, car, etc) and then invest out of into DGR or tax-friendly high yield ETFs (SPYI, etc). 3) Perfect if in the final years of your life. They're like a reverse mortgage, such that you don't care if the NAV goes down over time because you're trying to leave a nice nest egg when you die, and not a massive one.
I had 1400 shares of tsly for a year and lost 1,000 after distributions. Not the worst experience in the world. I tested my same buys as NVDY and I would've been +7k
In svol . I noticed that it has been rarely over 22 but every time they give me a dividend they buy it at a price that is much higher then anyone could buy on that day. Have others had the same experience?
My portfolio doesn’t just cater to dividend stocks. I hold $VFIAX (S&P 500 index fund) in my Roth IRA and $VTI (Total Stock Market ETF) in my taxable brokerage account. Two of my largest holdings. The individual dividend stock positions all complement the index holdings.

They'd sell millions of extra shares some months. All extra payments they'd have to take out of the nav to make. That's why there used to be a really giant dip on ex day and now it's marginal
@@delbomb3131 I agree. The new pay schedule discourages “distribution tourists”.
I've just begun learning about value investing, and I've found that many good stocks are undervalued despite their intrinsic value. If you had $200,000 to create a strong investment portfolio, which stocks would you choose for better returns?
The importance of mitigating risks might be why many investors are turning to advisors for guidance.
I agree with you. As an early investor in NVDA, AVGO, ANSS, and LRCX, my financial advisor's advice was incredibly helpful. Over the past 7 years, she has helped me find stocks that did 10x multiple times. With her help, I've grown my portfolio to over a million dollars.
Could you kindly elaborate on the advisor's background and qualifications?
There are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’Judith Lynn Staufer” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look her up.
I just looked up her website on google and I would say she really has an impressive background in investing. I have sent her an email hope she gets back to me soon. Thanks
The idea of investing a significant sum of money may be both thrilling and intimidating. There is potential for considerable wealth increase with the correct strategy. How can one take advantage of compound interest and potentially grow your retirement savings to about $1M over time?
I think the safest strategy is to diversify investments. Like spreading investments across different asset classes, like bonds, real estate, and international stocks, they can reduce the impact of a market meltdown.
A lot of folks downplay the role of advisors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850
Please will you be kind enough to share the details of the man that helped you?
Actually, it's a lady! My go-to person is Mary Terese Singh. She's incredibly compassionate and easy to work with. You should definitely check out her work!
Thanks for sharing. I curiously searched for her full name and her website popped up after scrolling a bit. I looked through her credentials and did my due diligence before contacting her. Once again many thanks.
Thanks for your coverage on these funds I’m have been an investor from the beginning and have extensive experience with these funds…these funds are not for everyone they should be held by traders only because of their volatility…but when done correctly extremely profitable…handle this package with care 😂😂😂
Great video, Alan, the coverage is appreciated. I personally use funds like YMAX (love the weekly change) and MSTY as boosters. Defiance and YM provide the punch while the anchors are more conservative, but all still yield over 13% Your coverage is great - thanks.
Actually, I think YMAX could be an enhancement to a retirement account. If you intend to withdraw all of the weekly distributions then that’s a bad plan … but if you only withdraw 10-15% and reinvest the rest you can do this very comfortably. My monthly distributions on YMAX now averages about $12,000 per month. Still reinvesting all distributions at this point. In about 5 years the monthly distribution will be about $50,000 per month. Taking $10,000 per month (or less) it would make for a VERY comfortable retirement when this is added to my pension and Social Security.
I am currently doing just that with this fund. It makes up 10% of my portfolio. I take 50% of all my distributions for my income and reinvest in more conservative etfs. So far the nav depletion has been acceptable.
12k a month? Awesome - good for you.
@ thank you!
Great job so far but you seem to be assuming steady dividend payments in the future. Declining NAV means declining dividend payments (or a rising yield, which won't be the case). So you may want to at least plan for that.
The best way to utilize these is to buy in half of the shares you want to hold then wait until you have paid off your capital before you start pocketing the funds. That way you have free money and you've paid off your investment.
As long as you hold those shares, you will be paid the dividend for that distribution. These are less about what the value of your investment is and more about the number of shares you hold to create a steady paycheck.
Its worse here, our economy is like a flailing fish, fighting for its life. The normal state of the U.S. economy is actually very bad. Because of this it goes into convulsive spasms fighting to grow any way it can out of desperation. Tricks, gimmicks, rule changes try to stimulate the economy and prevent it from falling but they only bring temporary relief to people since, when you factor in inflation we are declining.
People believe their currency has the worth it does because they have no other option. Even in a hyperinflationary environment, individuals must continue to use their hyperinflationary currency since they likely have minimal access to other currencies or gold/silver coins.
Inflation is gradually going to become part of us and due to that fact any money you keep in cash or in a low-interest account declines in value each year. Investing is the only way to make your money grow and unless you have an exceptionally high income, investing is the only way most people will ever have enough money to retire.
I've tried investing in the stock market several times but always got discouraged by fluctuations of stock value. I would be happy if you could advise me based on how you went about yours, as I am ready to go the passive income path.!!

I have over $200k ready to be invested; however, I am having trouble trying to find out what investments would be best during this present economy. Heard index funds and ETFs provide diversified stock market exposure while spreading risk. How true?
I believe a healthy portfolio has 3 things at the bare minimum: exposure to ETFs for increased diversification, exposure to assets that generate cash flow like dividend stocks, and exposure to market-leading tech.
On my own part, I believe these things are better handled by the professionals

I've shuffled through a few professionals in the past but settled with Sophia Verdekal O'neal. You'd most likely find her basic info on the internet. She's well-established with over two decades of experience.
Gold, BTC, quality global stocks, yes, however not property, if the U.S. dollar gets hyperinflation everything becomes worthless in that country, only global assets survive. Yes assets will go up against the U.S. dollar, however the U.S. dollar would become worthless compared to other currencies or global assets. As for property in the U.S, property is a national fiat asset, it would go up in value against the U.S. dollar, however not in other currencies or global assets. .. Anyone feeling the impact of these economic shifts should consider Crypto long-term trading strategies to protect their assets. My advice to anyone feeling the heat in this inflation, just trade long term more than ever, I have made over 520k from day trading with Aldona Šabanienė in few weeks, this is one of the best medium to backup your assets incase it goes bearish..
How do I reach your Coach/mentor.

So impressed knowing how much people talk good about Aldona Sabaniene daily signals .. she also helped me and my friends to trade profitably with her signals.

I lost so much with TSLY and QQQY. The nav erosion is so bad with drip. I wish I could turn back time. Only thing green is NVDY for now. JEPI/JEPQ/SPYI has been solid for me so far. Or just vanguard it and VTSAX/VMFXX. Total market or money market. Don't chase the gains and dump it soon. fml.
Ever since the Weekly payments Defiance reduced their Daily Goals from 0.25% to 0.15%. Hence the low Yields the last few weeks, but hopefully that means minimal Erosion. Combined with more, smaller payments, and the dips aren't painful anymore.
First. And great video to watch it seems because the Yieldmax funds have always caught my eye...
Yeah... sticking with SPYI.
@@DuffyJ1111 nothing wrong with that … 12% year end, year out😎
What are you talking about? The fund managers are LITERALLY listed at the bottom of the screen you showed. Zega Financial and Tidal Investments. And Forside distributes the funds on pay days.
Excellent info, thanks...
Small point, Jay does not work for YieldMax, Jay Pestrichelli is co-founder and managing director of ZEGA Financial.
I just have 200 shares in YMAX but that's it, most my other income is from CEFs and other CC ETFs
@@Truck--kun 200? With that little what's even the point? You're getting like 2 bucks a week.
@ 200 shares I meant
@@Truck--kun fair
Oh, cool. I know Cornerstone, Pimco, and Guggenheim have Drip Discounts, and I know one guy who sells almost all the shares just before the Rights Offering, and then after the price drop he just buys in again. Alas, I use Robinhood, no CEFs for me. Robinhood has fantastic Margin Rates and low Margin Maintenance, though, that makes up for it.
Great info.. Thanks..
Actually, despite their significant variability, every since YieldMax ETF has realized a resistant point beyond which it will not decrease beyond, except for TRES which was eliminated. So, despite the trending down phenomenon, there is a point in which they are bounce up, thus far to date.
ever, not every
IMHO, you are being overly cautious. If you buy these funds in a dip it’s quite easy to get outsized returns. Same as any other high dividend stock. Don’t drip, deliberately buy. If you would hold the underlying stock, Apple, Amazon, Tesla, MSTR, etc, you should feel safe holding the corresponding Yeildmax fund
Love this, this exactly what i do, i bought at a good price and dca 1 dollar every day into it. It has made me 30% returns JUST in dividends already not including any potential capital growth
@@InfamousTiitan thats an interesting idea, DCAing one dollar every day into them. I may have to try that, rather than buying chunks all at once.
Recently got into MSTY and CONY since they are in a dip. I will look to add more after the election. My portfolio as a whole is very safe and conservative so I felt comfortable adding a couple of high risk positions.
Great content, as always! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?
Thanks for this info ! That's why my JP Chase investment acc. blocked me to buy more YMAX, it gave error that this ETF is highly involved in risky cryptocurrency trades ! I was like what?! YMAX is not crypto ETF...But now they are and just added BITO to YMAX recently. I'm selling all YMAX shares on Monday right before elections ! The problem with all these high yield ETF's is that you will never find the bottom, it just keeps falling...
They're likely going to sell call spreads going into earnings or other important dates - that's when these funds get hit hard on their upside caps. Like when nVidia or Tesla has its earnings and they go up by 10%, all that upside gets lost. Thanks for the video!
you sell call spreads when you think the stock is gonna go down
As of last month I was trading my self I lost almost everything, now it just makes no sense, i have to choose if I'm a trader or face my job so i chose my job, now I'm confused of what etfs to store my funds for long term, maybe a little aggressive ones
Hey buddy! Don't be seduced by large dividends. Concentrate on total return. There is no sense in collecting large dividends if your overall investment is going down however I’d say SPYI, JEPQ, QQI and IWMI. But do your research.
Personally I put down 1.3m$ on few ETFs, still diversifying. Earning season is around the corner, It was this time last year I made a huge break through with 200k. Handed it to a firm here in Texas, I get weekly pay out which I put back on long term ETF's. IWM will probably crush it this quarter
Please can I look up this firm, thank you.
Yeah, Jennifer Kristie Taylor use her name to look her up
SPY, QQQ, IWM, and currently TLT. I only have 4. Jennifer’s firm grows a good portion of my diversification, I live in Connecticut.
they all suck
4:58 Actually, they DO hold shares of their own bitcoin fund: CONY. It's right below the block you highlighted. It's not OPTIONS on bitcoin, which is the YBIT ETF you mentioned, but it's still bitcoin. Is it weird they're not using their own fund for this? Yes, but not to the point where I wouldn't trust it. For individuals, we're CONSTANTLY told to diversify for safety, and that's smart. But why say you want more diversity from the company, then have a problem when they diversify so much that they spread the risk tolerance to other companies as well? Isn't that like saying, "JUUUUUST in case we're wrong, we're not gonna put ALL our eggs in one basket?"
The synthetics on BITO are the holdings in YBIT. For whatever reason, they're listed out individually.
These yieldmax are good for income…. Don’t even try to deny it . Lots of people making more money monthly out of this than the dealing schd
I have $100k in stocks I’m 25. How much should I reinvest into Yield max etfs and which ones are the best ?
Great video. 👍
I am new to investing so I am wondering are there any stocks or ETFs that won't get obliterated if the market crashes?
Aipi has it been covered in video?
question: In worst case, let's say the share prices goes to $5 eventually, do the dividend per share stays the same? If the dividend goes down then it's the issue. But let's say I have set the option to reinvest automatically, and if the dividend stays same, wouldn't it buy more shares? and hence the more dividend eventually? Tell me bluntly if I'm day-dreaming!
Yieldmax has too many junk funds so YMAG (the magnificent seven) is a better recommendation than YMAX. I mean, who in their right mind would want an income fund that includes Moderna?
Interesting, so how do you really feel about YieldMax ?
Bought 700 shares of Nvdy at 21.78 in January…. I’m averaging 790 a month right in divys.. all I hear is “nav erosion” it’s an extremely volatile ETF\stock so yeah it will go up and down. When it drops below 25 buy it. I’m 52 and building up for retirement and would never use YM in retirement.
Even if the nav erodes, I honestly don't care at all. In this type of high paying investment it's just a bonus if the nav stays flat or increases. As long as you get your initial investment back through dividend payments, eventually, then every dividend payment after that is just free money.
Why not recommend it for roth ria? Since it rely pretty much on dividend and roth ira is tax free. It sounds a better option for roth ira than brokage account.
My strategy combines ETFs for dividends and growth, including JEPI, DIVO, QYLD, SCHD, and JEPQ. Last year, my dividends totaled $102K. but not sure how to mitigate risk thus far for this year.
investors like you should be cautious of the bull run, its best you connect with a well-qualified adviser to meet your growth goals and avoid blunder.
I agree with you. As an early investor in NVDA, AVGO, ANSS, and LRCX, my financial advisor's advice was incredibly helpful. Over the past 7 years, she has helped me find stocks that did 10x multiple times. With her help, I've grown my portfolio to over a million dollars.

I have NVDY and YMAX and do not drip on either.
What is your opinion on $ULTY? Could you make a video talking about what you think of him now and prospects for the future?
I would use them as a turbo booster to buy safer stocks
Right now, i'm attempting to grow my yield max, so the dividends grow my stake and split the dividend payment between growing and feeding other more stable dividend payers. Use it to grow your stable holdings in the short term but continue feeding it as well, so it stays alive.
This is my strategy too. I'm growing my portfolio for retirement so I split my divs between reinvestments and investing in more stable stocks.
The S&P 500 finished down 20% in 2022. This means long term investors have a great starting point in 2023. Here are 4 very popular ETF’s: $VOO- S&P 500 fund $VTI- Total US stock market $QQQ- High growth, tech $SCHD- Growth + Dividends| I just tallied my dividends for the year;$167k Blessed and grateful, disciplined and focused.
My "boring" index funds just paid me over $6,000 in dividends last month. This is money that i can choose to spend without having to sell any of my shares. But for now i have it all set to reinvest to buy me even more index funds.
Anyone have recommendations for a reliable monthly investment? I hope to ultimately supplement my income from work with a monthly income from investments. I will still make long-term investments, but it would be wonderful to have a little additional money each month.
Until the Fed clamps down even further I think we're going to see hysteria due to rampant inflation. If you are in cross roads or need sincere advise on the best moves to take now with financial markets will be best you seek a fin-professional with fiduciary responsibilities who knows about mortgage-backed securities for proper guidance.

Easy to budget....just use the average over time or use the smaller amount....anything over budget is just extra spending money.YMAX, ULTY and OARK are the ones I hold...I personally would not hold the 'single stock' ones.
If you want to lose buy these ETFs. I sold all and only wish all of you the best. Yes I'm getting monthly less but I'm not killing my NAV. GOOD LUCK
So you’re not better off then. Keep looking, Sir.
Doesn't that say they may "sell a call credit spread", not a bull debit spread ?
I lost over $80k when everything started to tank. Not because I was in an exchange that went belly up. I was just stupid to hold and because that's what everyone said. I'm still responsible. It just taught me to be a better investor now that I understand more of what could go wrong. It took me over two years of being in the market, I'm really grateful I found one source to recover my money, at least $10k profits weekly. Thanks Natalie Rose Strayer.
Just as an experiment I invested a fraction of one percent of my portfolio into NVDY. A very small sum just to see what happens. It seems to have both positive price return as well as a big total return compared to the other YieldMax funds. But in all honesty I am scratching my head wondering what is the purpose of these ETF's? Even if you get a colossal dividend & that gets you to a point where you break even if the underlying stocks crash you're paying taxes on essentially getting your principal paid back to you. There is no long-term benefit to any of these really. Why purchase an income producing asset that suffers severe depreciation? What's the endgame here?
Very well done sir …your correct and to the point …it’s possible to just end up flat with no real returns…only experienced traders should be in these funds …only they know how to manage their volatility…
Wait until after the election.
Buy on the ex dividend date or the day after. That way you avoid most of the nav erosion
Never buy and avoid all of the NAV erosion.
Just buy and hold, do not buy until the dividens pay your initial investment
Helpful analysis. Staying far away from these funds. Yield traps for sure. Hard pass on anything with eroding NAV, especially in a year when the market is up bigly.
Covered Call strategies is hardly a yield trap. Understanding that will go a long way for your. Some of the single stock tickers with high yields are absolutely yield traps.
@ if the NAV is eroding, I be unloading. 🙅🏻♂️
You get almost all the downside with substantially capped upside (in markets that are up 7.5 out of 10 years). Plus massive tax drag, even in negative years. Plus absurdly high fees that you pay whether the fund performs well or not.
Nah man, not for me. Some options strategies make sense in some cases, but none of these YieldMax funds are smart long term investments.
@CalmerThanYouAre1 True indeed.. nothing long term. Just income vehicles for me. I treat them like my rental property and TBH, these are a little better... 😂🤣😂
NAV is way up for my MSTY shares. With these distributions I’m only a few months away from playing with the house’s money. I like free money that keeps printing free money. 🎉
@trippvanmunch since the inception of MSTY, it has returned 156% while MSTR, the underlying holding, has returned 222%.
Not only did you underperform, you paid lots of taxes and high fees to do so. And somehow you think you made a smart move. 🤦🏻♂️
You could have taken your original investment off the and been playing with the house’s money long ago if you’d just bought MSTR instead. You’ve essentially underperformed the underlying holding by 30-40% net of taxes and fees while holding the majority of the downside risk anyway and think you’re taking a victory lap. Wake up dude! Before you start adding zeroes to the end of the amount of wealth you’re sacrificing.
I held a couple of these for over a year. My total ROI for their combined stock was barely 1%. Did I end up making a couple of dollars? Yes. Could I have made a lot more investing in better stocks? Absolutely. I can't advise people what to do with their money but my actual experience was that I can make more money investing in other stocks than Yieldmax products.
Funds go down and back up
nvdy pays out 78%, no way they can sustain that, if nvidia ever had some issues and that stock price falls this fund is going with it., just too risky

What you doing here ? Good podcasts😊
Am I missing something?
For example if I put $1,000 into Cony and the Nav erodes to the point where it is literally showing zero value why would this even matter? Wait it out and get paid in dividends until you regain your initial investment of $1,000. Every dividend after this is free money. I dont care if they do reverse split after reverse split. Who cares because although you may have half the shares each time they reverse split the dividend payment per shar doubles. They can reverse split until the end of the world and I wouldn't care. It has no effect on my dividend payments.
Yes it absolutely does effect the payout after the reverse split
The "extreme high yield / who cares NAV" ETFs from YieldMax and Defiance are:
1) Not all the same. MSTY and NVDY are success stories that should continue to be in the future.
2) Perfect to temporarily invest into in order to generate cash for a big purchase (vacation, car, etc) and then invest out of into DGR or tax-friendly high yield ETFs (SPYI, etc).
3) Perfect if in the final years of your life. They're like a reverse mortgage, such that you don't care if the NAV goes down over time because you're trying to leave a nice nest egg when you die, and not a massive one.
They're BS! The drop in NAV cancels out any distribution.
I had 1400 shares of tsly for a year and lost 1,000 after distributions. Not the worst experience in the world. I tested my same buys as NVDY and I would've been +7k
Yes players play the players until the players being the players become the played. Cycle of life.
Lol its a spac company lol
In svol . I noticed that it has been rarely over 22 but every time they give me a dividend they buy it at a price that is much higher then anyone could buy on that day. Have others had the same experience?
