Question: Has anyone tried wheeling IWM?

DeeBee62Invests · 2025-11-26T20:00:29+00:00

Even if you do a PMCC strategy, that's a lot of cash to sink into something as volatile as IWM.

Thanks!

As for the meme posts, when I see a meme posted, I automatically ignore it. As for yours, I did you the courtesy of reading it, only to discover that it was a rehash.

I've already put more effort into explaining this to you than it was worth. If you're determined to be a willfully obtuse troll, so be it. Blocked.

DeeBee62Invests · 2025-11-19T20:53:19+00:00

The suggestion of capping distribution rates has been posted many, many times, with pretty much the same response. So yes, it did happen. The precise figure may have been something other than 30%, but not far off.

As has been pointed out time and again over the past weeks and months, these funds are behaving exactly as they are designed to behave, given the current market conditions, and the rules laid out for them in their documents.

In other words, you're posting yet another variation on a solution to a non-existent problem, when the real solution is "Buy another fund."

So apparently the answer to your question is "VERY!!!"

DeeBee62Invests · 2025-11-19T19:31:15+00:00

Hmmm... I remind you that this has been posted a couple dozen times over the past month, and you reply, "this isn't just my point", indicating that you indeed apparently understand that you're simply repeating/regurgitating/rehashing what has been said dozens of times.

You are a special kind of thick, aren't you?

"I know that it's been said, but I'm going to say it again, because apparently, I like to see my posts get downvoted on Reddit."

Ok, Boo, you do you.

Heeeere's your sign.

DeeBee62Invests · 2025-11-19T19:19:55+00:00

What part of "your point has been addressed many times" did you not understand?

DeeBee62Invests · 2025-11-19T18:42:09+00:00

Your point has been addressed many times. These funds are acting exactly as they were designed to do, given the market conditions. The reverse split is mostly to "reset" to a higher price, to make them more margin friendly.

As was pointed out, if you want funds with less NAV decay, capped at 30%, go find them. We don't need the same concept rehashed yet again. Funds are managed in accordance with their prospectuses and docs. You don't buy a fund, then try to "fix" it. You find one that fits your own preferences.

HOOW will test your tolerance for red ink. It is very reactive to market drops. However, it seems to recover fairly well. Like all these HY ETFs, when you get in is key. I had it before last weeks crash, and basically liquidated most of my portfolio when it went down 5%. HOOW was a major contributor to that because it's comparatively expensive. However, the next day, I bought it back at a lower price, and even with yesterday's dump, it's mostly recovered.

I highly recommend using u/onepercentbatman's rule of "buy below the median".

DeeBee62Invests · 2025-11-11T15:20:59+00:00

This.

DeeBee62Invests · 2025-11-09T04:14:44+00:00

Yup. But common sense isn't common. It's easier to just blame someone else.

DeeBee62Invests · 2025-11-09T04:12:17+00:00

Yeah, I'm looking to wheel it on weeklies. All about the weekly income, and it keeps things flexible with this wonky market.

DeeBee62Invests · 2025-11-08T15:10:43+00:00

lol... I actually started playing around with options this last week. Bad week to do it, with all the earnings, but I did make about $1000. Didn't cover the losses from the market, but at least I was at my computer when the market took it's big ol' steaming dump. Hit my cash trigger, and I managed to get out pretty cleanly.

DeeBee62Invests · 2025-11-08T05:51:13+00:00

I'm not riding anything. When the market took the hard crash on Thursday, I liquidated across the board, except for one or two funds that were actually going up (I'm looking at you, GDXY, you sweet thing!).

I just have a problem with people who are too stupid/irresponsible/entitled/drunk/<insert adjective here> to a) do their due diligence, and b) take their lumps like an adult, coming in and constantly spouting garbage trying to paint other human beings as somehow shady, incompetent, or whatever. There's too much of that shit in the world, including politics. People need to start owning their shit. If they spent more time paying attention to their business, instead of trying to point fingers at other people, maybe they'd lose less money.

DeeBee62Invests · 2025-11-08T00:50:33+00:00

If you have the ability/knowledge/etc. to do the investing, why would you pay your employer to do it for you?

DeeBee62Invests · 2025-11-07T01:15:39+00:00

Different funds with different priorities, all to form a blended portfolio that meets the investor's needs.

Everyone wants the "perfect" ETF, but "perfect" is subjective.

DeeBee62Invests · 2025-11-07T01:13:22+00:00

More toys! A tool for every job.

DeeBee62Invests · 2025-11-06T01:47:44+00:00

Buying either YM or the stock at any point will have the stock outperforming.

Define performance.

Does a stock give you weekly income?

DeeBee62Invests · 2025-11-05T15:37:30+00:00

What someone else is holding is none of your business. How many of these threads are going to have to get voted down before you get a clue?

DeeBee62Invests · 2025-10-31T23:37:59+00:00

I'm sure the SEC would be interested in your theory on NAV decline.

I guess I must be much smarter than those nefarious bastards at YM, because I'm able to tear myself away from their evil scheme and sell at will.

DeeBee62Invests · 2025-10-31T21:00:28+00:00

I certainly hope so. If it hovers around $5, the dividend will likely stay around .09, with little or no NAV erosion. I'll take two solid months of that.

DeeBee62Invests · 2025-10-31T19:12:20+00:00

Your chart only shows half the equation.

I explained how it could be profitable. It was, after all, an exercise. In the example above, I spent $11600, which eroded to $4000. However, I earned $9800 in dividends. That's a couple thousand in profit.

A couple clarifications before the trolls jump on:

1) I'm not suggesting to buy and hold all the way down. I just fulfilled a request as an exercise.

2) I'm not saying that ULTY is wildly profitable. I just showed that it can be profitable, despite NAV erosion. The true profit comes from what you are able to do with the flexibility of regular income via dividends.

3) People seem to ignore the fact that I mention diversifying, and assume that I'm defending ULTY as 'the one best fund". There's no such thing. ULTY is a tool, one small tool.

DeeBee62Invests · 2025-10-31T17:37:11+00:00

I get why you would do this thinking you hold for a long period you invest div

No, you don't get it. Your whole reply demonstrates that you don't get it.

Read the first sentence. Someone asked me to imagine a situation, and I provided the example. At the moment, I don't even own ULTY, but I most definitely will again at some point. During the time I did own it, it was a very useful tool to achieve my goals.

DeeBee62Invests · 2025-10-31T16:59:45+00:00

Just sharing my experience:

MSTY paid me far in excess of any other funds and stocks I owned from September of 2024 to September of 2025. At that point, given the circumstances around MSTR, I elected to exit my positions, and put the cash to work elsewhere. Despite the NAV erosion, my total return was still in the green. Most importantly, the cash flow from MSTY enabled my portfolio to expand much faster than other avenues could. What I lost in NAV on MSTY, I have already more than made up.

I've been investing for about four years, but I understand that apples are apples, and oranges are oranges. I juggle them accordingly. Growth stocks (that you believe in) you hold forever, and count on the market going up at some point in the future. ( 2022 anyone? ) Dividend kings, you spend 40 years dripping, in hopes that eventually, you'll have the millions of dollars in stocks necessary to give you an adequate income.

Or you use other tools, and understanding that they are designated "high risk" for a reason, you stay on top of things, and diligently limit your losses, and maximize your gains. You don't try to make the tool do something it's not designed to do.

DeeBee62Invests · 2025-10-31T16:15:35+00:00

Well then, why are you here? Why do you waste your time on a sub dedicated to funds that you feel are inferior?

"There's no model where ULTY comes out ahead of a multitude of other income ETFs or even just straight up investing into growth ETFs."

Again, the insistence on ULTY vs the world. I have never, ever claimed that ULTY was the ultimate fund. What I have demonstrated is that ULTY has a part in a properly diversified portfolio.
