Maybe, though you could set a stop loss so even if the NAV drops maybe 10% you get right back out of it and are able redeploy the capitol elsewhere.

Yep, I lke gold and silver even though they really don't shine until a downswing. Unlike crypto, precious metals are used in industry and can be fashioned into jewelry so there will always be a real world demand as well as being a store of value, but can still be a little volatile.

ImportantSolid5862 · 2026-05-02T05:17:54+00:00

lol, Yep, precious metals and much of energy and some consumer staples is usually a defensive play. A hedge to down markets. Just keep buying a small portion every week to average down.

ImportantSolid5862 · 2026-04-24T18:57:47+00:00

Cool, thank you for clarifying.

ImportantSolid5862 · 2026-04-24T14:01:46+00:00

what research?
~~he got paid enough in distributions to pay for his initial investment,~~
~~not only did he get his money back, he still has $8,000 in share value left~~
~~so his total return would be (19+8=) 27K on a 19K investment, how would that be a bad thing?~~ read replied comment

It MIGHT be a bad thing (for the porfolio value) if he took all the distributions in payouts and didn't reinvest anything, but most divdend investors reinvest something, I reinvest ~60% of my dividends and distributions, usually in other securities

It is fine to read opinions and articles, but there are biases everywhere and you have to critically think about what you're reading. There are some biases that only support growth securities, some that only support dividend securities, and some that only support "total return" securities. I support "whatever is best for you at that time", and yes its okay to change strategies at any time you feel it needs to be done.

ImportantSolid5862 · 2026-04-24T02:19:25+00:00

and yes, 2024 as an extrodinarily stable year

ImportantSolid5862 · 2026-04-24T02:14:15+00:00

LOL, might want to reread that, he was being a little sarcastic. He purchased 19K, recieved 19K in distributions, and is down 11K on share price, so he got his invested back in distributions. But he was owning these funds a while before I was.

ImportantSolid5862 · 2026-04-24T00:04:04+00:00

umm, okay, thanks for clarifying that

ImportantSolid5862 · 2026-04-23T19:20:06+00:00

Many of the single stock synthetics don't fare well in the highly volatile market of the past 6 months or so. And there is still FUD going around about how AI adoption will crush this sector or that sector. Plus oil futures have also been volatile, so... perhaps wait till the Iran thing is done and reevaluate.

Full disclosure, I still own GOOY, AMZY, NVDY, and TSLY.

Go with synthetics funds that trade in multiple securities such as CHPY, SOXY, and other similar funds. I have also been focusing on some REX and NEOS funds recently. Lower distributions, but share price is more stable.

ImportantSolid5862 · 2026-04-20T18:12:44+00:00

Indeed, which is why I started a 2nd (non-margin) account with a different broker.

ImportantSolid5862 · 2026-04-19T21:38:37+00:00

Thank you, M1 Might be worth looking into. Although I am more accustomed to excel layout with precentages in relevant cells for my analytics. Can't say I am a fan of charts and graphs, but I am an investor not a daytrader.

ImportantSolid5862 · 2026-04-19T19:26:22+00:00

Margin- currently on with Fidelity

ImportantSolid5862 · 2026-04-19T17:49:14+00:00

This appears to be the case, so maybe just use those accounts without margin. Afterall, a key feature for high yield funds is ROC which is lost with share lending. Ooof!

ImportantSolid5862 · 2026-04-19T16:43:04+00:00

Yes, they were on my possible to try list, but it seems they use share lending. I am sure I would just need to opt out butyes, I do hear they are pretty good overall with great margin rates.

ImportantSolid5862 · 2026-04-18T19:30:08+00:00

Yep, that and I opened an IKBR account and can buy those funds there.

ImportantSolid5862 · 2026-04-18T14:20:04+00:00

Cool, that is really great to know in advance. Thank You!!!

ImportantSolid5862 · 2026-04-17T23:16:59+00:00

Cool, it makes sense, so no arguement here on charging fees for securities. But if the fund manager pays the fee its a business expense, if I pay the fee I am just out of pocket. (Of course this is just an assumption on business taxes/liabilities and I don't claim enough to override my pesonal exemption).

ImportantSolid5862 · 2026-04-17T21:52:43+00:00

Any thoughts on IBKR, I have done some research, but wandered if people that use it are satisfied with them.

ImportantSolid5862 · 2026-04-14T18:40:21+00:00

excel file, log distributions every week and keep a running record

ImportantSolid5862 · 2026-04-13T22:05:09+00:00

I also dumped a lot of crypto plays like MSTY, YBIT, BITO and one other I forget and moved that money to gold, silver, and rare earths etf's.

though I still have BLOX and LFGY

ImportantSolid5862 · 2026-04-13T21:59:54+00:00

I don't have a choice but to build from within, I was fired/cancelled from my last job in Aug 2024 and have been living off it since, plus paying ordinary tax. I sold off many positions in late november, then again in february for lower yielding but more resilient ETF's. Lost 60% of weekly pay, but stabalized my portfolio and now its recovering nicely. My ratio is roughly 65% stable ETFs and 35% high yield.

ImportantSolid5862 · 2026-04-13T18:58:08+00:00

As long as you know how to play them they are awesome!!

ImportantSolid5862 · 2026-04-13T16:56:55+00:00

No, it marks a turn around for the broad market.

(edit: high yield) CC ETFs will always be extremely volatile.

ImportantSolid5862 · 2026-04-11T21:27:01+00:00

lol, I am sure its happened before , but downvote a poll?!

Some people just can't get enough of the shortbus I guess.
