  1. Big spikes help alot and I'll always love it when I see it, but there's capped upside to the fund when you blow through the weekly contracts and can't get them sold before busting. If you could go up to the edge of the lowest contract's strike price and sell out of the money on Friday afternoon, that's a great week. On days when there's a small loss or underlying is flat, you usually do a small percentage better as the time premium kicks in on the time decay of the contracts. If the underlying shoots up and has a 8-10% day, I'll take that as well but you get diminishing returns. It makes more sense to view the investment like a weekly football game that you already sunk your money into, and after 4 weeks you calculate your net results. If the funds live long enough, you will make house money. Some will be a long wait, some may do it in under a year. TSLY has been a wild ride that I'm glad I'm not on, but I'm also in on CONY which is their fund that has a Coinbase underlying and it's been maddening.
  2. It’s the same answer 5 year old gives and the entire world accepts as correct.
  3. For the guys who jumped into ULTY, its better to consider it more of a hedge fund. They are typically invested in 15 different underlying stocks at a time, along with options contracts. There's not one single underlying fund they are focused on like it is for MSTY above with MSTR. In fact MSTY and MSTR used to be two of the funds invested in whenever the IV rate was higher.
  4. We have sex-based legislation today that will become incredibly ambiguous if it's a free for all
  5. Recognizing it is not a bad faith question but a layup. I'm sure the party is overpaying some dinosaur aged consultant to construct a message about mental health issues, but they need to massage it cause we can't afford to make .001% of the big tent uncomfortable with saying they are delusional. We already know the Republican response- "it's biology. We are under no responsibility to go along with your mental illness." How do you cut that off at the knees and stop it from growing? I dont know
  6. It's all about the income generation for me and it allows me to spread out risk. This can let people retire early, retire from full time and go into part time work, have income while they travel the world etc. Every four weeks I know I can log into fidelity and have $1200+ being deposited from MSTY and I can use it, reinvest, buy underlying, or spread the investment around. I'm in about 8 others as well and every Friday, two of them pay me. I've bought the underlying twice at 450 and in the 480s--the absolute worst timing. I have not made money on the small investment into MSTR in my world, but have been better at throwing money into MSTY and receiving the distributions for a MUCH better total return. The dividend comes through options premiums and the synthetic positions created that track the underlying fund activity that has been pretty monstrous part for them as well. I don't have to sell any shares like I would with the underlying to get my money, that I'm in the red on. While it's nonqualified and taxed as income, the firm is able to be creative about how they label ROC to create tax advantages for those who hold in individual accounts- if you have it in a Roth you're golden. ROC used as a tax tool and will eventually lower cost basis to 0, so it helps being a long term holder. There's a big misconception online about Return of Capital as they provide estimates monthly that aren't particularly accurate, but true it up for end of year statements. The CEO and fund manager have said these funds are meant to be compounding monsters rather than sucking up all the monthly payout to live on. Best to know what your number is for monthly income needed to live and spread across multiple funds and overpay quarterly taxes if you can afford it seems to be the best online strategy. They've only been around 2.5 years as a company, so nobody is an expert. Video below expands on it and can answer a ton of questions if you're considering.
  7. Can Jasmine Crockett answer "what is a woman?" quickly and succinctly? If we want to reprogram a massive amount of people who think differently than mainstream Democrats, 5 year olds shouldn't be answering this quicker than the adults representing the party. Just because everyone on this thread can "get over it" and "it affects nobody" in regards to a man waking up one day and being a woman, doesn't mean the other half of the country is bigots-- in fact it really just makes one half of the country look gullible and it's not Republicans.
  8. lol Trump is trying to filibuster his daily calendar to bullshit around with combat vets who already like him. Fill up his Monday through Thursday, then 3 day golf trip.
  9. You guys aren't thinking about the funny nicknames The Nuge has lined up for Republicans when he switches parties. and thats a major blindspot for you guys
  10. I’d like to congratulate the numerous posters in here who have grown up and out of calling people fags when they were 18-29. You’ve replaced that vernacular with Cheeto dick and references to male fellatio … so same as it ever was.
  11. I posted the video in the reprogramming thread about this, but Gallup shows that young men in their 20s and 30s are more liberal than their fathers, but there has been a noticeable, gradual shift since the Obama election of those same age group identifying with the Republican party more. Still liberal in their beliefs, but voting for Republicans. I saw it firsthand when I was in San Diego for 5 months, out of 10 care free surfer dudes I knew, most that smoked and fine with abortion, were all Trump guys and I just never heard any relatively articulate reasons- just cost of living gripes and transgenderism swipes at the D party. It's something that I haven't been able to explain outside of "just display masculinity, but moreso confidence in yourself." That itself is a competition between candidates.
  12. Clay Travis tries to nuke this with 30 seconds left, but the lead up was good.
  13. I’ve said plenty and there is major institutional investment occurring now. Dividends are announced every Wednesday morning from the activity that took place Monday through Friday of week before. They release daily transactions and holdings every single day, and they have people tracking gains/losses, AUM increases and new shares.
  14. Seems like Talarico has gotten the attention of the national party. Have seen a couple network appearances along with the Rogan pod as of late.
  15. If you can speak Spanish, it’s easily one of the best available jobs in public service. Plus you can get stationed in San Diego. Sign on bonus totaling 20k+ Physical fitness test is a complete joke
  16. Trump announces EU trade deal with 15% tariffs https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/27/trump-european-union-eu-trade-tariffs.html “It’s a very powerful deal, it’s a very big deal, it’s the biggest of all the deals,” Trump said alongside von der Leyen.
  17. There is nothing nutty about me telling the democratic party to go fishing where the fish are at.
  18. RetireonDividends had Scott Snyder on today, who is the SVP Trading/fund manager at Yieldmax. MSTY is his baby, not even two years old and has delivered 193% on yield from inception. He joins at around the 35 minute mark. It doesn't sound like he's the "main" guy on ULTY- but still involved heavily that might pull back the curtain for some of you interested in ULTY.
  19. No, white women and white men are the largest voting blocs and both go Republican. Dems have no message for them. Not having a message for them is wage fraud by whoever is in control.
  20. Is there a pickle jar I need to open for you? Point of OP’s thread literally asks how to reprogram a cult. I can’t think of a bigger cult than the constantly moving and evolving message of feminism. Compensation limits in America does not have a cult following.
  21. Women are undeniably upset at the bill of goods given to them. Please open your mind from bias and listen to them
  22. Make men straight again and tell women feminism made them unhappy with student loans, no homeownership, barely any money to afford a dog, and still not in management. Bring back boobs. Make Gen Z women wear clothes that make them attractive to men.
  23. I've had an eye on it for awhile now when the only "defense" for the fund was total return%. These are not retirement funds, they are income. You can take the dividends and spend them on long term retirement funds if you think right. @Fiscal dominance there's a couple of guys on youtube that break down daily transactions and fund holdings that might explain it better. It's been 10 years since I let my series 7 lapse, but they can make it make sense just as well. The fee you pay to the fund manager is basically saying "Youre an options guy, get me premium and preservation, bonus if it grows." Surly will have opinions on how annoying the first guy is, and how boring the second guy is. Keep it to yourselves. You will be repeating how they do talk in 2 weeks. @Retire on Dividend covers alot of the other funds and explains-https://www.youtube.com/@RetireonDividends @ETF Investor, ULTY explanation-https://www.youtube.com/@ETF_Inspector
  24. Out of the market options premiums with companies that have 70% Implied Volatility rates. You’ll buy call options that are anywhere from 2.5% to 10% a week out most of the time. You sell out of the contracts before they go bust and sell underlying positions if they have moved upward at all but stayed out of strike price. They change/sell out of positions almost weekly, so you don’t expect huge weekly losses to the underlying unless some major news happened, or it’s TSLA. And when I say “you” above, I mean the options traders who have been molded on the cigarette ash of Rick Santelli and bonus paychecks to jump into the Chicago river to make the drunk managing director laugh. True vets of the game. ULTY follow- https://youtube.com/@etf_inspector?si=Csn48BNnF336gtHr MSTY follow and more-https://youtube.com/@retireondividends?si=F0iU7bZuRGr463w3
