Thanks for the interview and your work on the channel. I have iwmy and the others as part of a “experiment” - from what I’m seeing and what I’m researching SPYI and FEPi are much better options. Nav erosion is wicked here and I’m going to pay taxes on basically getting my own money back if I’m not mistaken. I’m willing to wait until next 1099 to see what the ROC versus dividend is

Basically the only way to properly trade these ETFs is to reinvest all distributions. If you do that, these ETF's claiming 40-60% annual returns will likely net you around 20%. Also, best to put these in a retirement account where the distributions are not taxes annually. For example, doing this with QQQY NAV dropped 4.5/share, distribution 6/share = 12.5% in 7 months. However, distributions are dropping, so in the end the annual gain will likely be 15% if you're lucky. Reinvesting dividends would most likely make 20%

if your supposed to reinvest your dividends then they are not income etfs. they are the same as SPY etf but lower return. these defiance etfs are hanging in cuz we had a huge up market last 6 months. wait til we get a major downtrend and your capitol evaporates before your eyes. if i want income then i want a fund that atleast save my initial investment and give me some income. the only etf that has shown to do that is JEPI in my opinion.

Its occurred to me that all these dividend funds are a different class of investment, more like a loan. If you own this in a regular fund you will end up paying taxes on your own money since they can return capital as part of the dividend. If this is an IRA or 401k you wont pay taxes on divident The funds will asymptotically go to zero because of nav erosion, but if the return you get while its going down it can still be worthwhile.

In terms of the dividend, you would keep per share (0.30 per share with the average of shares being $1, for example) sounds like a winner to me. The biggest mistake with these funds you can make is not reinvesting any of the dividends.

Think of it less like an investment for future growth, than as a way to turn your assets into income to meet your expenses. Maybe these are a portion of your assets and you spend it down to $0 over 5-10 years similar to a term certain fixed annuity but with higher payout and higher risk. Alternatively maybe your allocation generates more income than you need, most of the time, so you reinvest the excess both to boost and to extend the life of the income it provides.

It’s pretty simple: if you want your account to maintain flat, or slightly up, with QQQY and is 2 sibling, just extract the equivalent of the net total return that the fund makes, and re-invest the rest. Let’s say distribution pace is 60% annual, but net total return is 20%, if you re invest 2/3 of your distributions into the fund (60%-20%=40%/60% =66%) you account VALUE will stay flat or slightly raise, and you’ll enjoy a 20% distribution rate for the long term.

You only want to hold onto these funds when the underlying stock is rising or possibly neutral. They sell puts to pay for the call spread - so if the stock drops hard like TSLA has been doing - TLSY will have major NAV erosion from the uncapped put losses. Whereas NVDY and MSFO have had NAV gains because the underlying stock keeps rising. Like if TSLA has finally hit a bottom, now would be the time to get into TSLY - although you'd lose out on some of the capital gains in TSLA when it goes up.

There are only a few ETFS that pay high income without NAV erosion. People harping on huge incomes often ignore the fact that a lot of the income is not a dividend, but a distribution. Distributions typically take the money you have in the ETF and incrementally give it back to you. So a lot of these ETFs act a lot like an annuity.
