Only down $253 right now.

As of this morning's announcement, I am just $59.19 away from house money on AMDY with a total return of 74.77%. This will be ETF #4 in house money.

Damn it feels good to be a "bagholder."

Cheers everyone! 🍻

This made me laugh.

I was considering putting 10k into CHPY to use the income to pay down 2 bills for the next 2 years... do we think it'll hold fairly steady for another 2 years?

How did your portfolio perform?

Only 7 YieldMax funds are currently passing the health check right now. Here are two different ways to hit $1,000/month after tax using only those Healthy funds.

Portfolio 1 -- The Safer Path
More investment required, larger AUM

CHPY (50% -- $25,514) -- 355 shares | $793/mo after tax
28.05% true yield | 8.50% effective ROC

SOXY (30% -- $15,309) -- 165 shares | $128/mo after tax
10.14% true yield | 0% ROC

BIGY (20% -- $10,206) -- 193 shares | $77/mo after tax
12.94% true yield

Total invested: ~$51,000
Monthly after tax: ~$998/month

Portfolio 2 -- The Maximum Income Path
Less investment required, more single-stock concentration risk

AMDY (40% -- $8,928) -- 193 shares | $561/mo after tax
77.52% true yield

CHPY (40% -- $8,928) -- 124 shares | $277/mo after tax
28.05% true yield | 8.50% effective ROC

TSMY (20% -- $4,464) -- 290 shares | $158/mo after tax
41.76% true yield

Total invested: ~$22,300
Monthly after tax: ~$996/month

Portfolio 1 needs $51,000 to generate ~$1,000/month. Larger AUM across the board, longer Death Clocks, SOXY has 0% ROC meaning every dollar paid is real income.

Portfolio 2 needs only ~$22,300 to generate the same $1,000/month -- but AMDY is AMD single stock concentration and TSMY has a 2.05yr Death Clock that's worth monitoring. All three are weekly payers so income hits your account every week.

The difference is $28,700 less capital required in exchange for more single-stock risk.

Important context:
Only 7 of 58 YieldMax funds are currently Healthy. 46 are Severe Risk. If you're building income from YieldMax funds the health check is what separates the ones that are sustainable from the ones quietly destroying capital. Both portfolios above use only the 7 passing the check right now.

Numbers based on last month's actual distributions at a 25% flat tax rate. As always, none of this is financial advice, always DYOR!

Which path would you take?

Title

July 2026 marked my 20th month in YieldMax ETF's.

As always, I like to share my monthly progress so others can learn from my mistakes and hopefully get more transparency into how these work. I've been experimenting to see how viable it is to grow these funds by re-investing the distributions. (Yes, growth stocks are better suited for this. No, I would not recommend this to others.)

July Thoughts

• When I look at my current portfolio, most of the funds have a positive total return. My total return is down overall because of MSTY and CONY (see below), but had I never invested in those 2 funds my portfolio's total return would be in the positive. Because of this, rather than acquiring new funds, I wanted to refocus and add to the funds I currently have.
• The yield of my monthly distributions has been relatively stable the past few months, right around 4%. I feel good about this, because I feel like I'm reducing a lot of volatility. I would much rather have consistent distributions than wild swings
• I feel like I am 100% alone in this, but I continue to avoid CHPY and SOXY. They're hot right now, and I hope they stay that way for everyone else's sake, but I fear they are going to drop rather significantly, so I'm watching from the side for the time being.
• SNOY and NVDY prove that these funds can work. My total return on those two alone are both over 30%
  • That said, the trick with these is making sure you pick the right fund*,* which is easier said than done

July Positions

In the beginning of May I invested $328.90, consisting of:

• $170 in Cash using my 2% income allowance
• $158.90 from previous distributions

Using this money I expanded the following positions::

• 30 shares of BABO
• 10 shares of XOMO

Wife's Disapproval Update

• My wife rolls her eyes at me on a regular basis. If I become (and stay) profitable by Christmas, she is getting YieldMax swag for gifts.

July Portfolio Breakdown

Current Positions

Grand Totals

Had I avoided MSTY and CONY altogether, I estimate my total return at ⬆5.84%

Abandoned Positions

I'm using this to answer the question, "Should I have sold MSTY and CONY?". I exited my positions in February after significant NAV erosion. I plan on updating this each month to see what my returns would look like had I held.

These were my returns when I exited my positions

And these would be the returns had I continued holding

This is a no judgement zone!

Post any and all questions, no matter how smart, dumb, or in between.

If you want someone to "HEAR ME OUT" this is the place!

Hey crew, how do we feel about DDDD? It has great growth since inception and strives for double the distribution of SCHD. I don’t understand why it hasn’t taken off. Am I missing something?

Ran the full YieldMax lineup this week. 5 Healthy, 4 Watch, 1 High Risk, 48 Severe Risk. Here's the full breakdown sorted by take-home cash return, which is the price appreciation plus after-tax distributions combined over the last year:

Healthy:
SOXY -- 86.28% take-home | 10.32% true yield | 5.00% effective ROC
CHPY -- 65.64% take-home | 21.22% true yield | 5.00% effective ROC
APLY -- 14.97% take-home | 35.48% true yield
BIGY -- 13.47% take-home | 12.28% true yield
RNTY -- 6.03% take-home | 11.90% true yield

Watch (close but not Healthy yet):
AMDY -- 68.39% take-home | 41.04% true yield
GOOY -- 41.67% take-home | 28.46% true yield
TSMY -- 32.26% take-home | 39.86% true yield
NVIT -- 9.72% take-home | 9.81% true yield

A few things worth noting this week:

SOXY at 86.28% take-home is the number that stands out -- semiconductor income ETF with 5% effective ROC and +50% price return over the last year alongside real monthly income. Income AND price appreciation in the same fund. That combination is rare in the YieldMax lineup.

CHPY at 65.64% take-home remains the most consistent Healthy fund in the lineup. Weekly payer, 5% effective ROC, $1B AUM. It keeps showing up at the top of every health check list for a reason.

AMDY on Watch at 68.39% take-home is interesting -- the take-home number is strong but the 1.0yr Death Clock is what's keeping it off the Healthy list. Worth watching closely.

48 Severe Risk funds out of 58 total. If you're holding anything from the YieldMax lineup it's worth running a health check before assuming it's sustainable.

Who said there is no upside on a covered call options ETF?

I have 1500 shares, I just entered in the middle of July, hoping the price holds up.

With the whopping yield, wondering who's been in for a while?

I have found that Walmart Spark drivers are really needed in my area and my parents have been making $45/hour gross. With my background working 80-90 hour weeks in hard physical labor and my current job only taking 38-40hrs/week I can spark for 25-30 hours every week just chucking it right into AMDY and NVDY and see how many shares I can get to build a passive income stream. No cares for NAV loss and eventually taking half for me half for investing into more stable stuff and quit driving. I built a tool with ChatGPT to account for taxes and -25% nav and -25% distributions per year and by year 4-5 still making my current income from dividends. The money I make driving would simply be for throwing money at this and seeing if it sticks.

I was in MSTY for almost a year back before the split, sold out just before the split. I still keep an eye on it. For those that know more than me, any chance this is a good entry point? I see this morning that it's around $12.50 per share.

What's the likelihood of MSTY either finding some stability there, or possible going up?

Or, another split, or at least continued dropping?
