It’s more of how much are your expenses. House is paid off, car bought with cash. My monthly nut is only 2k. Now just waiting for access to IRA’s with no penalty withdrawals. Mostly invested in CEF’s like BST, UTG, BIT, JQC, GOF and a little bit of ULTY.
Id buy 100 thousand shares of ULTY for that monthly dividend that usually is around 100ish%
MSTY and ULTY. They're still paying me though..
ULTY but it doesn't matter only put in like $30. PG, I'm down like 17% however with the dividends more like 11%. WEN down 41%, it might not come back. Hey with dividends it's only down 36.5%..... In spite of it all I think it will bounce back.
How many shares of ULTY & MSTY do you have after the RS?
Splitting, but in the wrong (bearish) direction. > The YieldMax Ultra Option Income Strategy ETF (ULTY) completed a 1-for-10 reverse stock split effective before the market open on December 1, 2025.
Haha. How is ULTY doing these days?
I have 2 ULTY $7 Call that expire 1/2028 pre reverse split. Am I cooked or what can I do with it?
Anyone know why ULTY shot up?
YieldMax Ultra Option Income Strat ETF ULTY Looks like it’s right within my risk tolerance 🤡🤡🤡
Ofc this isn’t financial advice, but I did it because it’s yieldmax fund on MSTR that’s leveraged, I used to have their ULTY fund and their funds drop pretty consistently, so it’s a little more insulated from price fluctuating
You’re not “investing” if you’re in those yieldmax funds like ULTY.
In addition to its reverse split ULTY changing symbol to S.C.A.M.
Put money in the bank and withdraw a % each week; That's YieldMax. The stock tends to fall faster than div payouts. Source: Held ULTY for 3 long months
Put it in ULTY and you'd make 10M per year
Just find something you can DCA and leave alone for 30 years, like ULTY
Keep a maximum in CHF, Dollar forecast is 0.75 this is another 8% downside, going 50% S&P as a swiss adds this risk to the others like mag 7 concentration. Also calculate your income tax and see if the 3-4% yield of a direct property investment + less tax isn’t favorable and it’s also a stable non security related anchor in your investment. For gold it’s probably even more efficent to just get vreneli and a small safe at home. Blackrock and JP Morgan have funds in CHF or often Ireland based and in CHF. If you want to invest some time you go for the large caps and covered calls, most swiss stocks trade in a range. Also make use of an access to nach fonds being able to get stuff like BITO, ULTY and CHPY is a huge advantage. Also check for taxes if it’s getting a substantiel part of your annual revenue.
Likely taxes issue. I’m watching ULTY for ROC vs income for similar reason. Want to try to keep my taxable below $394,600 because that’s a big jump to go from 24% to the 32% federal bracket. Even though it’s progressive (so 32% only on the amount over $394.6K) it’s still nice when you can keep it all inside the lower threshold / bracket.
Winning with puts on ULTY, should have bought some puts on MSTY as well.
ULTY is now officially a pennystonk. If you are going to baghold something, at least get paid a dividend. Thank you for coming to my Carl's Junior drive thru window TED talk. 
It’s from ULTY’s inception.
> YM options strategies don't add up even when you argue RoC makes up for NAV erosion. It still outperforms SCHD from inception 🤷♂️ YMAX outperforms SCHD by 18%. https://totalrealreturns.com/n/USDOLLAR,ULTY,SCHD,YMAX,PBP
Well yeah. Even just investing $2000 into SCHD 4 years ago would be $2000 + dividends today. I would have maintained my principal and recieved distributions on top of that. $2000 into ULTY on the day it started trading would be $470 today lol. Down to a measly $8 per week per round lot. YM options strategies don't add up even when you argue RoC makes up for NAV erosion. If a fund can't maintain NAV it has no business making distributions.
Well why not? There's similar RoR for doing a basic putwrite strategy on SCHD and I end up with a good ETF if assigned, and similar net yearly distributions. Doing a basic buywrite strategy on KO beats or matches for example ULTY. In fact just buying and holding KO and collecting the .51 dividend probably beats ULTY. The only question YM fanboys need to answer is why YM funds can't maintain NAV while also failing to beat the CBOE buywrite.
I’m 67 and recently retired in Texas. 30+years in public education. I’m looking for passive income through dividends. I’m currently looking for a new job so I can aggressively add to my portfolio and pay off my house. Right now I’m invested in KO, PG, MO, and KMI for growth and ETFs O, SCHD, JEPI, SPYI, ULTY, and QYLD. I literally just started in September and have gotten almost $40 in dividends to reinvest so far. I have a long way to go but I hope I’m on the right path. Any suggestions, critiques, comments, or anything else is welcomed!
I may have to check some of those out. I just started a portfolio for dividends because I want to be prepared to replace social security if needed. I have SCHD; SPYI; JEPI; O; ULTY; plus KO, MO, PG for growth. Only have a few thousand in since September but so far I’ve reinvested around $40 lol. So I guess off to a good start.
Me too. Exact same funds. Sad part is I knew they wouldn't work long term. I just had no idea they would cut so deep so fast. Got out of MSTY last week and I think I need to exit ULTY tomorrow.
That’s exactly what it is, except you’re also paying them a fee, possibly paying taxes and carrying all the downside risk. You can’t dangle pay yourself your own money every week and you’d be doing what Yieldmax was doing without those risks. And ULTY especially is all return of capital. Sad scam ETFs.
ULTY sucked big time. I had it for a while from $6s. It’s like me giving them 50k and they give me back $1k a week from that 50k
Got my first ULTY dividend a crispy $6. Do I reinvest or find another dividend fund
ULTY made a nice little snap back after ex-div.
You want a safe to modest risk play? ULTY it pays 8 to 9 cents per share per week. If you reinvest the divys every week in a year you over double your position if the price stays relatively the same. Easy money.
It's on sale! Might have to take my ULTY dividends and buy FI!
BYND is lost y'all need to just sell and buy ULTY try to recoupe some losses
Invest it in ULTY and make $200 per week in dividends.
If i had $60K, I'd put it in ULTY and score $1K per week in dividends.
You mean something like ULTY, yeah don't worry about the NAV, nothing to see there.
Just sayin' it could be ULTY or something else, but if you hit a big win with a penny stonk why not put a little in something that gives back. QQQI is another one with a big dividend, it is just over $50 a share.
That's why I bought ULTY... duh :)
Something non BYND, ULTY now just under 5 bucks, pays a WEEKLY dividend, I think it will be back up soon.
margin requirement got raised on ULTY, a popular high-yield income ETF, causing a flash crash as margin calls went out and panic selling ensued.
You’re thinking about this as a normal stock. rather consider that buying ULTY is the same as Buy/writing for a basket of stocks “X” = covered call income strategy on X In this case you’re long delta (but >1 so upside is capped), short Vega, and long Theta - this is where you capture true income. You’re also short gamma which when paired with being short vega leads to inevitable NAV erosion. Unsure how you did in calculus but layering on a derivative of a derivative in this case doesn’t have an additive effect on gains. Selling ITM calls on the second derivative pushes your position net short delta - you’re only making money as ULTY falls in price mean underlying “X” has to cause ULTY NAV erosion. The only way your short call can make money is by cannibalizing the very income you’re after by investing in this product in the first place. In layman’s terms - this “strategy” nets out to no income generation - distributions will high income will be canceled by the option losses you incurred by your deep ITM calls and the gain you make from your short ITM ULTY will be cancelled by NAV erosion. So congrats. You played yourself
Sell the deepest in the money covered calls possible and you eliminate the erosion for the most part. For example, buy ULTY today at $4.90, write a $3 covered call for Jan 26 for $1.90. It needs to drop to $3 before you're losing anything from your initial investment ($4.90 - $1.90) while collecting the dividend. It isn't perfect, but it gives you \~35% downward protection for the next 3 months, which probably won't happen. When you get assigned, do it all over again.
I checked out their sub once and they called ULTY YMAX VOO a three fund portfolio...lol
ULTY “investors” r on life support right now. 🥶
I looked into ULTY for a bit. It made no sense. Seems like you're trading principal for weekly payouts, which makes less sense if you're doing that inside a tax advantaged account. I just didn't understand the appeal.
Fucking scam etf ULTY is now 52 week low and going lower! Scamming people by paying their left pocket from the right pocket.
Imagine being an ULTY bagholder
$100k can go away with meme stocks really fast. If you want the thrill of investing in shooting star stocks and options, I'd do this as a matter of risk management: Invest most of the $100k (like $75k) into a combination of TLT, TLTW, IVVM, JPEQ, and something like bearish like ULTY or SQQQ (in small size). TLT invests in 20 year bonds and will likely rise a bit with interest rates dropping. The rest are buy write ETFs that invest in an underlying index and write covered calls against it to raise income. The idea is to have roughly blended 10-12% interest rate off that $75,000, giving you $7,500 of income each year and stabilizes your portfolio. Then take the remaining $25,000 and divide it into 5 separate $5k buckets for speculative investments, plus the $7,500 or so per year in ongoing funding from the interest if you blow the $25,000. With these 5x $5k buckets, take $3-4k of each and invest in something that strikes your fancy in the common stock. Then take the remaining $1-2k and try options on that ticker. DCA into this... don't buy it all at one time. You can use technical analysis or various TA experts to help determine decent entries. Also, I'd always try to keep at least one bucket free for an opportunity, which means taking some profits along the way to create new buckets. Don't feel the need to invest everything... cash can be very good. We don't know when this bull run will be over. But right now, with the interest rate cuts coming, we probably will be choppy but the bull run might not be over. As for what to invest into... right now, think about what might still run further with dropping interest rates. Think about what would become great businesses in the future versus what are flashes in the pan. And if it is a flash in the pan, that flash might be really profitable... but are you early? Or are you late? There's always going to be the next flash in the pan, don't get too FOMO about the ones you missed.
Is this sarcasm? Or are you genuinely confused as to which is the better purchase MSTY & ULTY vs BITO & FBTC?
# Need help understanding this ULTY option sell/buy Thanks in advance for any help. On 10.21.25, right at the opening bell, two 5 Put Options on ULTY, expiration Jan 21, 2028, sold for $5.40. (The market was 0..10 x 11.10 at the time and according to thinkorswim the option was not part of a spread.) My question is how can a $5 Put ever be worth more than $5.
Ticker ULTY ex dividend date is Wednesday. ULTY has an annual yield of 85+% and pays weekly. Since ULTY has little share price movement. If you buy right before 4pm EST. Then sell on Wednesday anytime after 930am EST. ULTY is unique since it’s not designed for growth but for dividend income. So, almost always trades within a 10 to 15 cent share price window. Currently as of this date: 10/20/25 trades between about $5.10 to $5.20 daily.
Thank you all for the insight! Since my question I’ve done the following: -Sold ULTY, contributed that amount into the Roth IRA and rebought ULTY in the IRA with biweekly rebuy. -Sold DOGE (bought in ‘21 so had a decent profit ngl) and put that into LAES -Used the remainder to buy more SOL -Once XRP is in the green a hair I’ll sell that (also bought in ‘21 under $1 so sitting on profit too) and put into BMNR.
Put $130 into LAES and $50 into QS. Sold all crypto other than XRP (bought that in ‘21 I’m making $ on it) and sold ULTY and rebought in Roth
Depends..I went crypto, stocks, ETFs and now I’m a degenerate gambler. Calls,puts,call spreads now covered calls. I committed the same sins every time l have a noise dive. Never…NEVER..EVER go full force. It’s tempting when you have limited money and yes. Sometimes you 2x your investment but you could also 2x the losses. DD even when you want to get out. Crypto: hard to tell really. People just lose interest and you don’t want to be holding the bag. I was there when eth Pepe would go .000022 every two weeks. Now it struggles even at .00001. I was there when avalanche was at $60. Hedera at .32. Hold popular ones with market value(are used globally, have a function) ETFs: safest bets. Depends on what you want. Since you have ULTY. You want constant streams of money. That’s what I like. I like to think I do what ULTY does. With less money. I still bag $90-120 a week. With ULTY…6-10k invested with the fear of its depreciation creeping in. Calls/stocks: I wouldn’t recommend calls or any kind of spread if it’s not something that has some bullish sentiment coming. I was terrible at it when I started. I see calls as a pre-order. If i feel something will pop eventually but I don’t want to heavily invest in stocks. I buy a few calls. Everytime I have chum change. This for penny-$2-4 stocks. I do track popular stocks trends and buy a handful to then put them for sell for small gains with covered calls. Best case scenario. For a few cents they don’t exercise them. I keep the premium and maybe next week the stock booms even higher. Bonus: the penny stock I am going to start buying more calls is TRX GOLD(TRX). I’m up to 15 calls now.
I just got scolded for having ULTY on a brokerage account so now I’m confused lol
So sell my ULTY and invest into other crypto until I set up an IRA? I’ve collected a total of $3.76 in dividends
If you leave ULTY in a brokerage account and think you’re gonna profit from dividends, remember that Uncle Sam takes his cut every month. So if you start going heavy in a brokerage account with ULTY, you’re going to have to remember to estimate your taxes on every single dividend payment. This is why I say make a Roth IRA and put it in there. The dividends will compound month after month tax free. There are some caveats to an IRA, like when you can withdrawal and how much you can contribute. But you will save yourself a lot of headache with having to pay taxes if you just put it in an ira and let it sit for years.
Avg. XRP: $3.05 / avg. Doge: $0.2477 / avg ZORA $0.09 / avg ULTY $5.51
Exactly why I’m asking for advice. I just bought ULTY a month ago, I get 94 cents a week in dividends and I reinvest that back into ULTY.
Why are you buying ULTY in a brokerage account? You must love paying taxes on dividends every month. Consider opening up a Roth IRA and keep your dividend stocks in there. That’s what I do. Dividends aren’t taxed in an IRA.
All crypto and ULTY i plan to hold, ULTY i reinvest the dividend (94 cents) back into itself
Gave her MSTY and kept ULTY I hope.
ULTY puts expiring a year or 2 out seems decent.
Let this be lesson to you all. I got kind of roped into RHs low margin rates. I’m paying under 5% but I can’t buy warrants nor rights. I’m looking through old posts and texts and I was so early on all of this. WTF I had GSTR at $2s. Yet here I am levered 4X on ULTY, YBTC and IBIT collars and deeply regretting missing all of this SPAC mania. Fook me. I even wanted WMT under 100 and they announce AI deal today. There’s not enough bourbon in my cabinet to ease my regret right now. Fook.
Sometimes you have a feeling. I had that with Ovid...boomed...couldn't sell. The next day I got like 20% of the possible profit. Now i do want ULTY does...covered calls. It makes sense on paper. Im buying a bulk of stock. I think it is going to go to a said price. Give me $150-$320 this week and if it happens I will sell it back to you so I don't take more of the agreed profit...if it doesn't work out. Im stuck with the stock and the money on top. I will buy a calls if it has options. I went from crypto, etfs, volatile one day stock selling and buying to calls. My journey. Now I hate crypto kinda of. Fees are heavy if you take out small profits to escape a bear market
Huge question so ULTY stock is selling for 5 dollars a share. If I sell a put option for above the strike price so lets say 16 dollars. I would get credited 1000 dollars but the price of the stock is not going to reach 16 dollars but then i would have to spend 500 dollars on the stock but they credited me 1000 dollars so did i just make 500 dollars in profit?
I’m guessing your looking a YieldMax etf like ULTY. Those are bullshit. You need to factor in NAV erosion. They basically pay you back your own money minus a fee and call it a dividend.
Jamie Dimon talks out both sides of his mouth Im not putting any consideration on this and just keep buying ULTY
YOLO it all on ULTY lmaooo
Beautiful plan ULTY is a great stock, you can’t go wrong with weekly dividends!
I personally have 2 grand in ULTY yield max and I just take those weekly dividends and take a tiny bit of my own cash and do 0dte or weekly plays. Then I put it back into Ulty haha. Pretty dumb and probably not efficient but it is a fun loop of investing
LOVE IT! I did the same with ULTY. Turned $100,000 into $200,000 and just sat back collecting cash payments. Thanks OP!
Just remember that some people think ULTY is a retirement vehicle
Robinhood has a stock screener for high volatility. If you look at the fund ULTY, that’s usually an easy place to find some highly volatile stocks because they are selling premium on stocks with high volatility. The fund itself is kind of garbage, you would make roughly 8 times as much money, just buying the underlying holdings.
Oh I know about ULTY but that's the line I'm not fucking with haha. Way too hard a NAV erosion for my liking, + being in Canada exposes me to all kinds of taxation fuckery - I did get a small position in my RRSP (which is shielded from said taxation issues) but I don't plan on doing much more. I 100% concur on your points tho, ATH is not when I want to start leveraging, so we'd be going very gradually. Thing is, we've been regularly adding to our position for the past year and while it does increase our avg buy price, it also has been compounding at an increasingly fast rate. Introducing the margin is, if i'm not missing something important, just a further accelerant to what we've already been doing - I just hope i'm not missing something essential!
Wait until you find out about ULTY .... Btw, I didnt read your entire post, but high income to pay off margin has helped me grow my account significantly. I use the income to buy VOO and other things. The thing is, I started after the orange tantrum of April. If you start now, you're starting at ATH. Of course, ATH often beget more ATH, but another orange swan event could wreck you. This strategy works best when something stupid happens and the panic has already set in.
Yes, I start with weeklies. If I did two weeks, I'd need to get 2% or 3% for another week out, etc. That \*can\* happen but there's too much time for the stock to move for me. I do frequently roll out so I have a good spread going out for 10/17 right now. I have bought some monthly stocks, like EWTX, before I realized that monthly was a thing. That's one of my early mistakes. I've been able to roll it out for 4%+ a month but I really dislike it :). Right now, I'm all the way out to December, which feels like a very long way out. There are so many X factors that come into play and if it shoots up way above my strike price, that's money frozen for months. I'm not as worried about it tanking although I don't want that either :) And as you say, I'm not married to the stocks. I am, in fact, supernaturally indifferent to them as companies. I mean, I care a lot if they are viable and if they on a decent trajectory, but I have no interest in owning them in the long term. In other contexts, I do, but just not for options. I do trade some ETFs. Right now, I'm just in MSOS. That one has been super easy to get good premiums on. I did ULTY for a minute but 1) there weren't any good premium when I did and 2) I really don't understand their long-term strategy. There's too much "he said, she said" going on with that one, so I'm just noping out for now. Another thing I'd add - I wrote a custom app to help me track all of this. For the first few months, I was using spreadsheets, but once you start getting into 10+ securities and trying to plan what to do on a weekly basis with them, it gets very hard to manage. Research is also difficult without some structured approach. Now it's a breeze for me with this app. Before this app, I would check and triple check things and still make mistakes (like ETWX). That app makes it hard for me to make basic mistakes and the research capability gives me a ton of confidence in the trades I make. I think everyone needs something like this. The vendor web sites are decent but have many gaps. When I see how people are flying by the seat of their pants, doing everything on a tiny mobile screen here on reddit, I cringe :)
She’s a 10, but wants to quit her job in 2 years and live off her ULTY dividends.
Congrats on getting the card, I’ve been on the waitlist since day one… sigh.. but I am using the interest free 1k to invest in ULTY/BLOX, etc — as long as you don’t use more than $1k you won’t be charged interest.
$ULTY or any yieldmax etf would pay more out in dividends though
If you want a high dividend paying stock ULTY pays 129% every Friday and they're trading under $6/share.
Long 100x GLD and SLV shares, long 6000 ULTY. My overall portfolio will move 1% tomorrow, no matter the news. Lol
True yea, but people had this same mentality with ULTY and it tanked. I was one of those people
A few shares on ULTY wouldn’t hurt
Please don't spend your money on gambling but I know you will anyways. This is not financial advice but before I yoloed 0-DTE SPY I would just dump it into ULTY or MSTY and see what happens over the next 5 months. Its less of a gamble and you might make some money to get close to what you need. Something even less risky is to buy leaps on NVDA and sell calls for the next 5 months. If you need help with gambling there are resources for you and I am sure that most anyone on this thread would help you find the information.
ULTY, MSTY. It's a win win win Situation.
ULTY guys really are having a freakout
ULTY bleeding out. Cry Max 🤣
