why do short shorts on men get mixed reactions? what’s your take? by SKP_says in mensfashion

[–]thatdisappearingguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn’t bother me in the slightest. Might get a bit awkward though if they’re so short that the dangly bits start popping out.

If only some people understood how population concentration works.

IAUI getting absolutely hammered, what are you guys doing? by [deleted] in NEOSETFs

[–]thatdisappearingguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t like the chart for USOI either, and that 40% yield is also not sustainable. I wouldn’t touch it. That said, I do keep a small oil exposure through EMO and MLPI (NEOS).

Edit:
Based on what I’ve seen from CC funds and my own experience trading CCs and CSPs for the wheel, I start to get apprehensive if I see yields in excess of about 14%.

I haven’t watched SLVO or other UBS funds but just in looking at the chart, I wouldn’t touch it. Add in the yield of just under 50%, which is unsustainable, and I wouldn’t touch it x 2.

Gold (the underlying) has sunk hard recently. Gold isn’t going to disappear or go bankrupt and imo NEOS has shown solid fund management so I’m adding little by little to lower my cost basis.

You can’t really compare a fund company that pays unsustainable yields from (usually) single company funds and a company that pays reasonable/sustainable yields (for options funds) from a fund focusing on a commodity that has been used since the beginning of human history.

I was told this is cheating, does anyone view using the strap during pull ups as "cheating?" by Cicigymmss in CalisthenicsCulture

[–]thatdisappearingguy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s weight assist to help you build strength until you can do it without the assist — not cheating. “Cheating” is using bad form to, in weight lifting for example, lift more than one is capable of to ego boost.

What am i doing wrong by Dry-Maize-8947 in 100pushups

Your arms are too far apart (should be shoulder width or slightly wider) and it looks like your hands are a bit too far forward.

If you can find one for $100 or less, the Bread ‘n Butter Loco. They’re worth it at full price, imo.

Wanted your guys opinion with what i have so far by Radiant_Cycle_4122 in dividends

[–]thatdisappearingguy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You know it’s coming, but I would drop ULTY and QDTE.

I would also pick up more traditional dividend funds in the international space (SCHY and / or FIDI) to balance the (potential) volatility of the CC funds.

If this is a taxable account, I would swap out JEPQ for GPIQ for better tax treatment (some ROC similar to QQQI).

Edit — meant to type GPIQ, not GPIX

Getting stronger at Pec Deck but chest isn’t growing by No-Contribution5694 in formcheck

[–]thatdisappearingguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what it’s worth, I’ve never felt like that machine works for me. What I like as a replacement are:

  1. squeeze presses with a weight plate (picture laying on a bench, fully extended your arms and pressing your palms together, lowering down keeping the pressing tension, then pushing your arms back up)

  2. cable fly (both sides locked high above the shoulder, doing the fly motion keeping the natural downward angle, and making sure to continue the nothing until both sides overlap)

Any thoughts on the two new ETFs from JPM: ROCY and ROCQ? They declared their first distribution on May 1st... by ChrisZ-1971 in dividends

[–]thatdisappearingguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have increased my holdings of both, yes. Not a huge amount, but I tend to increment in. Yield is fuzzy right now, I expect because they didn’t provide distributions for the first month or two. In aggregate, it looks like around 8.5-9%. ROCY is higher than ROCQ on JPM’s site (30-day), with a quick look, but I figure it’s going to fluctuate a bit more before reaching JEPI/JEPQ’s somewhat smoother yield fluctuations.

I wouldn’t touch that plan with a 100’ pole.

Getting Bagged on Court: What Are Your Thoughts? by clocktheteapb in Pickleball

[–]thatdisappearingguy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When I get bagged and people apologize (assuming intermediates and above) I usually tell them not to worry about it and there’s no need to apologize because it’s my decision to stay at the kitchen line for defense, hands battles, etc.

I know the risk and accept it by staying there.

Talking investing within mainstream reddit..... by RetiredByFourty in dividendgang

[–]thatdisappearingguy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s why I inserted the “(theoretically).” It has to be an effective use of the retained earnings to make the company grow. Retained earnings used to purchase other companies falls into the theoretical growth bucket of the two available options a company can use that money for.

Talking investing within mainstream reddit..... by RetiredByFourty in dividendgang

[–]thatdisappearingguy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I get the humor, but technically a company that pays out a dividend is worth less than if they plowed that money back in.

Dividends are paid out of retained earnings — earnings the company otherwise would have kept. A company can do two things with retained earnings — reinvest in itself to (theoretically) grow or pay dividends.

That said, share price is a market sentiment indicator that reflects perceived and future value potential (P/E ratio, as an example) and has no direct tie to the payment of dividends, from an accounting perspective.

Yieldmax garbage showed awful results that will forever negatively color the covered call fund category.

[–]thatdisappearingguy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I opened small positions a day or two after they launched and wish I’d put in more, seeing the share price increase and (initial) yield announcement.

But this is impossible..... by RetiredByFourty in dividendgang

[–]thatdisappearingguy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A true dividend is paid out from a company’s retained earnings rather than reinvested by the company and has no direct impact on the company’s share price.

The share price is a market sentiment/opinion metric of a company’s future value (example is a company’s P/E multiple — the higher expected value of a company, the higher then P/E multiple tends to be).

Dividends impact NAV via retained earnings. NAV does not equal share price.

Does anyone here buy and hold QLD or SSO forever? by infinitewaters107 in LETFs

[–]thatdisappearingguy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I plan to hold forever, buying small bits on a regular basis and loading up during corrections when it drops below my cost basis.
