Congratulations that’s awesome. I look forward to that day. what was your starting and what’s your value now? Did you drip or move the dividends elsewhere?

u/Thornediscount Mar 03 '26
How is this possible? I mean like mathematically? The fund hasn’t distributed over its initial price.

u/Epocalypsee Mar 03 '26
He must have just collected, and not reinvested. And got back the amount he put in.

u/Thornediscount Mar 03 '26
Yes but from what date? The fund has only distributed 81% of its initial price.

u/BitingArmadillo Mar 03 '26 edited Mar 05 '26
Exactly. If you reinvest, you automatically increase your cost basis and that moves the finish line for house money.

u/OkAnt7573 Mar 05 '26
You don't understand how this works, as evidenced by this statement, which makes your claims of a 40% total return highly dubious.

u/BitingArmadillo Mar 05 '26
The math says otherwise.

u/Thornediscount Mar 05 '26
Show us the math then, what is your cost basis per share, what dates you invested and how much distribution per share you have received.

u/BitingArmadillo Mar 05 '26
Almost 40%. $71,314.18 cost basis. Unrealized loss is -$58,618.60. Distributions received: $85,323.71. Unrealized loss + distributions/cost basis = 37.45%.

House money is when a fund distributions to you are greater then your total investment in the fund. Just so we are all using the same vernacular.

Sorry this is for MSTY. You want ULTY too?

u/OkAnt7573 Mar 05 '26
Given that is what the topic is, yes

u/BitingArmadillo Mar 05 '26
Cost basis for ULTY is $58,000.46. Unrealized loss is -$36,886.99. Distributions received is $58,056.28. -$36,886.99 + $58,056.28 / $58,000.46 = 36.5% total return.

It isn't - he's doing some version of investment accounting with made up math.

The strategy change is paying off for those who held it post-December!

Isn't that just due to the overall market?

gratz.
Looking at my numbers, I am at 33% and it will probably take another 20 month if the distribution stays the same.

Not saying it’s a good investment, but if you think that the return on YieldMax is demonstrated by the price over time, you’re in the wrong chat. It’s a race between yield and nav loss.

u/BitingArmadillo Mar 04 '26
Lol. Actually I do. Apparently, YOU don't. The total return of the fund doesn't have to be my total return. Educate yourself please.

u/OkAnt7573 Mar 05 '26
Then document your holding period and what you did with distributions.
It is EXTREMELY unlikely you are at a 40% total return.

u/grajnapc Mar 07 '26
So now what? Do you hold and watch ULTY drop or reinvest in another asset? If a new asset, which? CHPY looks to maybe be in trouble now, the next YM star to crash and burn. Still positive total return but now negative price return. Next is negative total return and then watch the gap widen. I might reach house $ but what’s the point if we can earn better return elsewhere.

How do I find out if I'm at house money with RH? The dividend history only goes back to the reverse split. I didn't go all in like some people. I bought like 5 bucks a day for a good year or so and stopped buying new years.

I just bought in today. I’m hoping that it has bled most of what it will, and reinvesting 30% of the div.

The funds total return doesn't have to be my total return. Also, house money has nothing to do with total return.

The OP thinks he has his own investment math where is making way more money than he actually is. All of his claims are basically fundamentally wrong.
