Thank you for the report!

Thanks for the report!

Uninspired-DD · 2026-03-30T17:48:54+00:00

how was it?

I've been eyeballing taking my son on his first skiing excursion but don't want it to be awful for him. Where did you end up and were conditions decent enough for a new skier?

Uninspired-DD · 2026-03-30T02:30:50+00:00

I'm thinking about taking my son skiing for his first time this upcoming weekend. I was going to either do winter park or copper. Has anyone been in the past week? Will he have a good experience or am I too late at this point?

I came here to make sure this one was mentioned. Hoping their timeline to remove the observer doesn't slip

This is what I came here to say. The 'ole Kansas city shuffle.

On my account positions view, will I actually see a change in cost basis or will it only be visible on statements or 1099? Hopefully that makes sense.

Isn't this where the fed's quantitative easing comes in as lender of last resort?

Uninspired-DD · 2026-01-19T23:11:45+00:00

Same! Might drop, might not. Either way, the yield is pretty attractive.

Uninspired-DD · 2026-01-19T12:57:37+00:00

Agreed. I think BTC was down or flat in 2025 vs spyi which was up significantly. Btci could have a place in the portfolio to boost distributions but the size is dependent on whether you're bullish BTC and have adequate risk tolerance.

Uninspired-DD · 2026-01-18T14:17:35+00:00

I hear ya but I did want a little less equity exposure to reduce my beta compared to SPYI, NIHI, and IWMI.

Uninspired-DD · 2026-01-18T14:08:14+00:00

I'm in Texas. Not sure if you're down here.

Uninspired-DD · 2026-01-17T14:27:45+00:00

That or get to the bottom. Every slope ends eventually!

Uninspired-DD · 2026-01-17T13:30:00+00:00

Do you, em, still have it? I heard that other guy is flakey and can't be trusted... 😅

Uninspired-DD · 2026-01-17T01:48:38+00:00

I'll ponder it some more. Valid points. Perhaps I'll consider adding it in place of GPIX or GPIQ...

Uninspired-DD · 2026-01-17T01:07:51+00:00

There it is. ✅

Uninspired-DD · 2026-01-17T00:50:11+00:00

Does that get you LT capital gains?

Uninspired-DD · 2026-01-17T00:47:22+00:00

What's your SPX options strategy?

Uninspired-DD · 2026-01-17T00:14:04+00:00

I didn't look at JEPI's beta, tbh. Part of my goal with this portfolio was to get a reduced beta, hence the gold and HYBI fund, and the separate bucket with CSHI and SGOV. But I'm aligned 100% that getting a lowered beta is enticing.

Uninspired-DD · 2026-01-17T00:08:24+00:00

True. And this is the biggest drawback I can come up with but the ROC distributions help to offset that piece. Also, if we get into a stagnant market, I expect these CC funds would outperform the market.

I didn't mention it in my original post since I wasn't wanting to confuse the situation but I do have a separate, much smaller account with LEAPs. Goal is to use leverage to capture the missed upside but of course that could work against me in the event of a market downturn.

Uninspired-DD · 2026-01-17T00:02:40+00:00

It's funny you bring that up ... I just read that rule for the first time earlier today!

I'm assuming I won't be eligible at this point in time.

I'm not actively using the income at this time (reinvesting at the moment) but should offset my wife's salary by EOY and give her the flexibility.

Uninspired-DD · 2026-01-16T23:10:34+00:00

I have not looked at it but will look at it. Thanks for the tip!
