NVDA is up 73% in a year. But this covered call ETF actually beat it. Is just holding NVDA stock the wrong move?
Missed the pullback in tsla. Managed to capitalize on the rise in NVDA 0DTE 150c make 90%
Call me crazy but I see all of these stocks aside from NVDY & MSTY growing 10-15% in the next month, what do you think?
+8 million/2500% gain in 2 months, +20 million/5000% since April 2023
What are your thoughts on options ETFs? NVDY for example

Consider NVDY, for example. How can they give a dividend of \~1% per week? How much NAV are they eroding?
I put my $350 profit into DRAM and NVDY
The double-digit yield isn't magic; it is just a conversion of your capital appreciation into taxable income. Here is the catch: when you buy a fund like JEPQ or NVDY, the manager sells call options against the underlying stock portfolio. They pocket the premium and distribute it to you as yield. But in exchange, they cap the upside. If NVIDIA or the Nasdaq surges 10% in a month, the fund's capital appreciation is cut short. If the market drops, however, you take almost the entire loss, cushioned only slightly by the option premium. Over time, this asymmetry leads to "NAV erosion." You get the monthly distribution, but the underlying stock pool shrinks. If you are in your wealth-accumulation phase, this is incredibly tax-inefficient because that monthly income is taxed at ordinary rates, whereas long-term capital gains compound tax-free until you sell. Comparing the time-weighted total return (with dividends reinvested) against the simple underlying index is the only way to expose the drag. Are you holding these in a taxable account or a retirement wrapper?

Thank you! You clearly know what you're talking about. 😃 I see these funds like JEPQ and QQQI or NVDY and wonder: what is the catch? How can they give double-digit dividends per year? In the near future I may be interested in investing in some of these for the income potential. But I want to make sure I am making an informed decision and not getting into some Ponzi scheme.
Been holding $JEPQ... Returning around 12%, and the stock price is up from my average purchase another 10%. Providing a decent monthly return. Also chased $NVDY... Which I have been averaging down but it is returning over 50% and my position is only down 5%, which requires a lot more attention....
Except for exactly what happened in OPs case. You leave money on the table If stocks rally, selling covered calls underperforms simply buying and holding stocks. In downturns, covered calls outperform holding stock - but if you're bearish, you shouldn't buy the stock at all Look at NVDY, which executes a covered call strategy on NVDA - underperforms the stock GOOY, a covered call strategy on GOOGL. Underperforms the stock
respectfully, it is a shit product, but what other security pays 3% a WEEK, not month. I recently bought some NVDY as an experiment, up pretty big in two months.
again, it pays WEEKLY, and in fact, over 3% a week. I’m down on my, but up when you include dibs on my basket of CONY and NVDY. I’ll probably sell soon, it was just an experiment, but when you include divs.
are you following the dividends? they’re weekly, not monthly, and it’s over a percent a week. I’m currently down on CONY net, but up on my basket of CONY and NVDY. A 70% div on a good company, and a 200% div on a crappy one can pay for a lot of price erosion.
I recently bought a grand of this and a grand of NVDY. Down about $70 in the securities, up about $30 when you include the obscene weekly dividends. If crypto comes back, this could make money. For now, it was an interesting experiment that paid about 1% in 3 months.
Today was almost wack. But i did 0dtes around Sunday open (thanks Vlad, best B-day gift ever) and locked in a cool 750 bones in the middle of the night. I then held my other 0dte and proceeded to lose all it's 90 something % gains. So it is. Then I had the genius idea of trimming some ULTY and putting it around my Divvy experiment account and added NVDY and JENSEN IS COOKING AGAIN omgawd!
Take out a HELOC at 7%, buy NVDY which yields 70%, collect 63% interest spread. Literally can't go tits up.
Buy NVDY and get dividends out it. Put $100 every month and do it for 10 years. Focus on your studies
Have anyone invest or looked into yieldMax NVDA which (NVDY) I saw someone posted on Facebook that they get so much back just from interest. I’m curious if anyone know that works please help out
I pick stocks that don’t get a lot of attention that pay dividends. Only risky thing I have is NVDY and I’m up on that too.
has anyone thought of this? google yieldmax funds YMAX MSTY NVDY ‘etc
I think the supposed AI stock bubble is our biggest bubble burst threat. I too am trying to gain insight about that bubble in all the news. Earlier this year it was say 75% positive and 25% negative. Now seems more like 50/50 as of this morning’s market news? Saw 2 major analysts upgrade NVDA with an Overperform rating and target price of $300/share?? I hold NVDY which would be impacted by a large NVDA drop. Maybe selling some of your NVDA stock to lock in those profits would be a good portfolio move. Some peace of mind. If the remainder of your shares does go to $300, you are still participating with a nice, safe nest egg. Then if the AI bubble does burst, sell the remainder ASAP to salvage as much profit as possible. Or some variation of that strategy going forward. I converted to 100% dividend income securities investing in retirement and could not be happier with the reliable investment income. Good luck and enjoy your retirement!
NVDY wtf are you doing
Currently I’m in SPYI QQQI FSCO ASGI BTCI QDTE ULTY MAGY NVDY. I’m keeping my on OMAH as well, I want to give it a bit more time to get a track record.
Have you looked at the price performance of these high yield options ETFs? Most trails max strategies have seen the share price decline. For example NVDY has lost close to 50% of its share price since 2024. The dividend covers that but essentially a portion of your principal is being returned in that dividend every month.
realistically NVDY long term hold??? a move?
BITO, JEPQ and NVDY, best Etf and prove high yield.
Buy into SPY, NVDY, etfs in general. Maybe some of the cheaper "nuclear" stocks like DNN. SMR is not a 5$ stock but it's still cheap with huge potential and solid financials.
50 shares of NVDY and 57 shares of MSTY. i get about $50-90 from nvdy a month roughly, and about $50-130 from msty monthly. its nothing to retire on, especially cause theyre incredibly volatile, but theyre nice little payouts to either start a new stock, or use to fix an average cost of a stock thats down.
JEPI, SCHD, AAPL, FEPI, JEPQ I need the income to supplement my unstable business income. NVDA not too far behind and I betting on some NVDY to give me some more dividend income.
just buy NVDY and DIPS and get paid while idiots burn their money on options
Nuhvidya is so range bound and pinned that my NVDY and DIPS are practically always both green, love it
Theres no free money/leverage. These etfs/etns decay over time the same way leaps would. NVDY is especially worse because they generate income on covered calls on nvda. nvda often gaps up and burns the sellers. NVDU is a more consistent etn but even then it’s decaying slowly relative to NVDA.
Won't touch Palantir due those exact reasons & that's the example of our times right now. Especially if you like playing the YM (PLTY) fund on top. I don't care how much people are making off it now or if it dips from its current overvaluation. Some things are just not worth selling your soul. Rather just put it in VOO & chill and stick with the NVDA/NVDY group that week. There are ALWAYS options, and past doesn't indicate future performance, so I don't see any need to force funds until anything I don't 110% believe in.
Wolf is going bankrupt, Traffis are off so today’s bias I think should be very bullish,NVDY will likely dip due to profit takers so if you sell early (10ish) that should work. Overall too much risk, especially with the news that came out- not enough reward. Goodluck if you still proceed with these trades.
I hope the NVDY puts guy cashed his $8 gains
If you don’t mind losing it. But want some cashflow maybe split it among MSTY, NVDY, PLTY. These are high yielding covered call funds. These are risky. But you could pick up a few extra bucks every month.
Look at a chart longer than one day. NVDY 6 mo chart shows 40% loss while NVDA has fluctuated between 90 and 150 per share in that time frame. Just hold stock.
Have you considered buying a call on something like NVDY or any options income etf that would ride along if Nvidia moves significantly higher?
YieldMaxETFs are designed such that they will NEVER outperform their underlying stock Imagine buying NVDY instead of Nvidia You need to be financially illiterate to buy these The total return with dividends reinvested is negative for most of their funds Absolute trash Very simple https://preview.redd.it/169cdips7rye1.jpeg?width=2962&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=978b4d9f8914e8ee46745c1d820a4118056f8706
Like the other YieldMax ETFs, MSTY will always underperform Microstrategy You would make more money buy investing in Microstrategy instead YieldMax has been around from nearly three years now, so there is enough data to see that they ALWASY underperform the underlying stock For example, buying NVDY instead of Nvidia is incredibly dumb
Up to $1300/month in dividends BITO NVDY MSTY JEPQ FIGHT ME
What s pretty neat about it is that even though you are at risk of total capital loss, surving 1 year and you get almost your initial capital investment. Based on what you sent NVDY performs better than MSTY? Unless recent distribution were much lower. I ll take a look. Thx
I've put 50k in NVDY and 60k in MSTY to get me like 100k cash a year. The problem with those guys is, they mark large portion of distributions as ROC, but your brokerage doesn't know about it, until it gets final form next year. So tax planning is a little hard, unless you read all their releases and have like an Excel spreadsheet to keep track of them,
So you gotten $1.99 x 100 = $199 in premium. $17 - $1.99 = $15.01 to break even. Your "options" which I'm assuming you mean what you can do is 1) Close it at the beginning of the day tomorrow by "buying to close" and take the loss which is since a put for NVDY was valued at $2.65 or $265 at the end of today. 2) Wait for the expiration on May 16 2025 and pray NVDY closes at $15.01 or above. By the way, are you sure you sold a put with a strike price of $17? It doesn't really add up. Are you sure you didn't sell a put at a strike of $16?
NVDY at 13.70, up 3%+ on shares and locking in divy thurs
MSTY, AMDY, SCMY, NVDY, YMAX, ULTY or/and YBIT. Perfect time to get into any of these
So you would rather make less money? Imagine investing in NVDY instead of Nvidia
nice writeup, are you hedge trading on this? like short NVDY/long NVDA?
buy inverse ymax like CRSH that pays out almost a dollar a share, reinvest dividend. market recovers, sell and buy something like NVDY. after 3 years of reinvestment you'll be making 50k a month from an initial cost basis of 30k. if this isn't a part of your portfolio what is you doing - buy shares, buy options, but also experiment with these ymax etfs they good shit
He can make good dividends, ex $8500 into MSTY can get you est $500 per month but DYOR! This is not financial advice. Stay away from options! MSTY PLTY USOY IWMY NVDY SNOY YMAX
China’s NVDY purchases going down 50% this year, and why I’m a buyer!
At least the 120% dividend i get from NVDY shares will help
My thinking is for retirement portfolio, I like a mix of cash flowing securities bc otherwise the only way to monetize a position that doesn’t have any dividends is to sell the shares. If TSLY and NVDY still exists in a month, would take a sizable position in those.
NVDY pays 114%. Not sure how it works though...
I bought leveraged nvda, calls on nvda and even yieldmax nvda (NVDY). LFG
Not going to lie, I have no idea how NVDY works, and how does it yield 114%. I still bought some because someone i trust told me it was better than holding NVDA. https://preview.redd.it/1shegehl1qne1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ff5bb1c0ad5ecb85c8c667c9b43a8453a23fecdf
You can look at the chart and see that NVDA has had at least 3 10% or more moves in a single day in the last year. Close to 12 7% moves in a single day in the last year. For single day losses, NVDA holds 8 out of the 10 top spots. It's IV is reflective of it's history. My paper trading period with NVDA covered it's recent earnings, and it had a -12% day. Try out selling CCs. Track your gains. With NVDA, its too volatile, and you will lose out from both strong downward moves and strong upward moves. With NVDY, the ETF management is able to buy/sell a range of options to give a better gradient of results depending on stock price. They are likely able to better manage risk than you could by yourself. NVDY's performance still struggles in different periods where the management wasn't able to predict major news. It's gonna come down to performance, and you won't be as profitable as you hoped.
Look up NVDY, it basically does this strategy but using synthetic stock and it pays profits as dividends.
Instead of NVDA I got NVDY so I get a 70% dividend LMAO
MSTY is rat poison The underlying stock MicroStrategy is up by 250% in the past year, which is why MSTY paid an unusually high dividend at $4 per share for two months. Total return on MSTY since inception with dividends reinvested is still less than MSTR over the same time period In reality, YieldMaxETFs always underperform the underlying stock Imagine how dumb it would be to invest in NVDY instead of Nvidia, for example This analysis below was done about 6 months ago and it continues to get worse You also have to pay a 1% management fee in YieldMax which contributes to the shockingly rapid price decay TSLY, the original YieldMaxETF, is down 74% since inception, whereas Tesla is up over 100% in the same time period YieldMaxETFs get absolutely destroyed when the underlying stock does poorly or trades sideways Look at MRNY, which tracks Moderna. It is down 80% since inception and pays a $0.30 dividend. $100,000 would have turned into $20,000 with some pathetic taxable monthly dividends and over $1k paid in management fees The comments on YieldMaxETFs subreddit are shocking because financially illiterate individuals think that CONY and MSTY will continue to pay high dividends and compound over time, but in reality MSTY will be less than $10 a share in a year with $0.50 dividends, 1% management fee and taxes on dividend payments https://preview.redd.it/o2sv037ts6le1.jpeg?width=2962&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2e5535f8ae74eefbf57969255c463f3812d583f0
50k in NVDY would make you 2k a month lol
>The YieldMax™ NVDA Option Income Strategy ETF (NVDY) is an actively managed fund that seeks to generate monthly income by selling/writing call options on NVDA. NVDY pursues a strategy that aims to harvest compelling yields, while retaining capped participation in the price gains of NVDA. Ok here's the problems: 1. If Nvidia's stock goes down, you lose money. But if it recovers back to previous highs, you do not gain that money back, because the shares are sold away via calls. 2. As the fund loses money to volatility, the dividend will decrease over time. 3. The fund has a gross expense ratio of 0.99% which eats into returns.
You could sell and then put that money into high yield cover call ETFs like MSTY, NVDY, AMZP, etc and get the actual cashflow for not doing anything? That’s all I got 🤷🏻♂️😂
I'd go MSTY and NVDY at these prices. Reinvest dividends for 15 years, then live off them
FYI, my strategy, take it for what it's worth. I'm 47 and want to retire in less than 5 years. I think we are heading into an unprecidented, once in a generation, growth cycle based on AI, robitics, and digital assets. I want to change my family tree for generations based on these opportunities. Not do the slow and steady grind to 65. . . For the next year or so, I'm quitting my job so I can cash out my 401k (SP500 is most aggressive option) and roll it over to a self-directed IRA. Investing 200k of that into various YieldMax ETF's to pay the bills for the next year. Then overall combining about 800k of assets in various accounts, 50% into BITU, 10% MSTU, 10% NVDY, 10% AAPL, 10% TSLA, 10% PLTR. After about a year I'll reassess and shift a fair portion into TQQQ and SPY and then DCA into bitcoin and TSLA and whatever stocks seem to be leading the way into the AI revolution. Hopefully Anduril and Aptronic go public. If shit goes south, I'll get my previous job back as long as neccessary to pay the bills until the market rebounds. But honestly, I think that's about a 5% chance.
I see you’re okay with risk. I’d say def have some in RKLB, LUNR, or ASTS for space exposure. Maybe some NVDY since you like yieldmax and it gives u crypto exposure. And if you want a possible 10x soon, BBAI!!
You never know how the future plays out. So based on that if I were you I would wait for NVDA to recover from the recent dip over the Chinese ai and then when it’s in the looking strong, sell 100 shares and diversify with it. You can also look at NVDY which is an etf that does options on NVdA if you want to stick entirely with it.
GOOG PLTR MSTR MSTY NVDA NVDY TTMI I’m very bitcoin and tech focused. I don’t mind the volatility. I ride it out and buy the dip I give zero fucks about the days I bleed like today for example.
MSTY, PLTY, NVDY, MAGY, or just join the YieldMaxETF subreddit for more. Highly detailed analysis sometimes. Retire from regardations.
I’ve lost so much on appl and spy calls I moved the majority of my Robinhood into MSTY and NVDY. Only 10% calls now lol
It’s literally use the NVDY and CONY contributing to most of yield , rest of other positions are sustainable , except for Walgreens 🤣
Something can be a poor investment without being a scam. I see no reason for junk like NVDY and PLTY but they aren't scams.
You going with MSTY, NVDY or something else?
Yea, it’s one of my favorites hands down. Been in it for a while. I’m in some of the Yieldmax funds too. NVDY would be up your alley since you made your money on Nvidia. They basically take your money, do options with it, then give most of the profits back to you. NVDY, APLY, AMZY, have been great. They have a few dozen tickers to choose from. I believe in PLTR long term, so PLTY would be a recommendation of mine too. FEPI has been very safe and consistent share price meaning if for some reason you have to sell your shares, there’s a good chance it will be near your purchase price versus taking a big loss. Seriously, ignore all the naysayers on here. Your goal is very easy. Hell, you could buy $40k worth of GME and make $3-4k a month selling calls. For how long is the question, but no need for you to do that with your 400k. Research and buy the tickers I mentioned above (not GME) if you like them and then do your thing. If you bring in more than what you need, buy more stock, don’t spend foolishly just because you’re making more than you need. Keep building more income and a cushion in case shit hits the fan.
You could probably take $35k and put into a yield max monthly dividend stock to get guaranteed money without as much risk. Think NVDY and TSLY. Still a risk but monthly income is pretty much guaranteed and you don’t work as hard.
what if i sell CCs on a yield max option income etf like NVDY do i double dip on the covered call premiums? 
Yes low volatility ETFs like NVDY 😂
NVDA NVDX and NVDY Holding up
My Roth is all growth stocks with one exception. Comprising of MSTR, PLTR, COIN and NVDY. I am struggling with where to invest.
You should read up on what they do and how they make their money. I own both and have done well for me and consistent dividends. Most YM funds are based on the underlying stock, NVDY, MSTY have been the top performing YM funds but there are people that also hold YMAG and YMAX since they hold different YM funds it tends to be more stable and less NAV erosion.
Sounds like you need instantaneous gratification. Just buy those yieldmax things that pay out every month like NVDY or TSLY.
STOP.. just buy NVDY collecting diveys and Chill
I’m in a similar boat but I’ve got a bunch of $NVDY on margin too
Honestly, if I had it to do over, i wouldn't bother with penny stocks. I've had very few that have actually made money. I just recently bought into some ETFs, NVDY is really paying out for me. I wish I had known about it years ago.
Some yield max stocks may be interesting to have a small portion set to that can help build. YMAX, CONY and NVDY are just ones I have enough of now to each dividend buy at least 1 new share. Big thing is be consistent and don’t get worried. You’re doing fantastic.
Sorry with that balance I threw your Price point out the window because at $50 your limited to Buying in order to trade multiple contracts and you should consider Selling smaller caps for Premium as well… All of these Play on the AI trend right now in some way and leverage Nvidia: NVDX, though it doesn't provide Dividends and it's 3x leveraged. NVDY, not as many options available but has some good dividend rates if you wind up taking shares. OKLO, Really nice premiums, they provide Nuclear Fission products. AI needs Power. Alternative options not specific to AI: SOFI, LUNR, HIMS, GME (this one is debatable depending on who you ask), HIMS (I think this one is stabilizing to some degree and still has good premiums).
[NVDY Stats](https://imgur.com/a/DMNyBw3)
Just put money in the NVDY ETF and let yield max trade the options for you, while you learn and paper trade!
Spxs is a decent one, YMAG, DIPS, NVDQ, CONY, NVDY, MSTY, XDTE
If you do your research, you will find that NVDY does not actually own ANY NVDA. So these kink of comparisons are worthless. I suspect if/when NVDA crashes, NVDY will still make $ from its put/call strategy
Me too, except I’ll put that shit in NVDY so my money makes money until then, bruh.
I think.it's fine to hold some leverage, as long as you're able to monitor the price action to some extent. You can set alerts to let you know if you're about to lose your ass, and sell before it gets out of hand. I wouldn't go all in, but a portion of my position is in NVDL. I also hold NVDY - high yield dividend stock that also goes up is.pretty rate, and while it might have lower overall returns than NVDA, it's also.less volatile and easier on the stress levels
NVDY is my least favorite ETF for real
