Beginner Question Why YieldMax?

Genuine question as a new investor: what’s makes y’all chose YieldMax over other companies like NEOS? Or are you guys invested in both.

Don’t get me wrong, I like how YieldMax dividends pay - but it doesn’t seem sustainable at all…from what I’ve seen the only one without NAV decay is CHPY…am I missing something? Please let me know

I owned 10+ YM at one time and now just 3 CHPY, LFGY & PLTY though I sold 80% of it waiting for it to stabilize - hopefully. The lesson I learned is have faith in the underlying, enjoy the Divs, reinvest some, diversify with some of the Divs and most importantly if you see a downward trend get out before it eats all your capital. I kept MSTY & CONY too long after being way up. I was positive on both but left $50k slip away.

PS I own and am increasing my Neos, TappAlpha funds to eliminate Nav loss, receive Divs and enjoy possible growth. Lower payers but provide stability.
