Where I'm Stashing My Retirement Income Cash Right Now (And Why)

Pessimistic market sentiment often creates generational buying opportunities. Legendary investors like Warren Buffett have made fortunes by being greedy when others are fearful.

Why I'm Buying MSTY Right Now

When it comes to the YieldMax movement right now, which is arguably as hot as it has ever been, there is no name bigger than that of MSTY.

MSTY: Why I Sold, When I'd Buy Again

I sold my MSTY position due to NAV erosion, falling distributions, and better income opportunities elsewhere, despite still being in the green overall. MSTY is best viewed as a pure income play, not for capital appreciation; upside is capped, and NAV erosion is a persistent risk. Future re-entry depends on share price stabilization and signs of rising distributions, ideally after a further drop and MSTR price rebound.

MSTY: Why Dividend Payouts Have Fallen And Will Keep Falling

I am downgrading MSTY from Buy to Hold due to declining option premiums and falling share price, despite Bitcoin's strength. MSTY's payouts have dropped as MSTR's implied volatility has trended lower, reducing the fund's ability to generate high option income. Competition from Bitcoin spot ETFs, MSTR's new preferred shares, and other companies have drawn investor interest away from MSTR, impacting MSTY's performance.

MSTY's 100%+ Yield Intact

Bitcoin's recent price movements do not warrant panic. I maintain my previous price prediction of $225,000 for BTC, suggesting that MSTY's triple digit yield will continue for the foreseeable future. Of the four technical indicators I used to forecast BTC price movements a few months ago, only one is flashing yellow, and may be a false negative. A closer examination reveals that the correlation between BTC and other cryptocurrencies - similar to that between gold and silver - helps explain the recent price movements.
