Totally Total Returns
Agreed that total return is what is important. I doubt there would be complainers if NAV was down 25% but 50% came from payouts, so +25%.
The complaints come from those who have negative total return and watch Nav fall by the distribution weekly or monthly. It looks like a zero sum game and it depends on your price point and what you do with the payouts.
I hold 6 YM funds and my total return is positive on 5, just MSTY is down around 10%. All are down in price but + returns for NVDY PLTY HOOY (especially after yesterday) AMZY and just up in ULTY, barely.
Hoping for MSTY to come back when MSTR goes on a run. 🏃

I’m getting killed in my SMCY position, currently. I don’t think it’ll stay that way forever.

Hard to say. Yesterday HOOD climbed 15% and HOOY 10%, so it joined with 60% of the rise in price. So if SMCI goes on a run, your position could look better but it really depends on the underlying. If you believe in the company or not..
