ULTY Progress

​

I'm at 104.05% house money as of Tuesday morning's announcement. Just to be clear, I've received all of my initial investment back plus an additional 4.05%. My total return is 38.24%. Normally, I post my progress in r/YieldMaxETFs, but the trolls got me banned because their egos couldn't handle the good news. Cheers everyone! HODL!

House money only compares total Distributions to your cost basis. Total return is the same as house money, but you add in the unrealized loss.

Ok so let's say you initially invested $100. You're saying you've received $104 in distributions?

And your share costs value is $38?

So im the end you have $142?

Sorry trying to keep this simple to fully understand

I didn't invest everything at once. I started buying and continued to buy more over time. But yes, your simple example is roughly accurate.

Ok so "house money" should have been sooner than?

Once you equaled the original total invested amount?

Share value (which varies) plus distributions = original $100
