For as long as many people can remember, MSTY (NYSEARCA:MSTY) has been at the top of the YieldMaxETFs subreddit as the go-to for taking advantage of dividend yield.

There is no question that once you hit the “purchase” button whenever you make an investment in the stock market, it's immediately a gamble and a hope that the future will drive things in the right direction.

Yieldmax MSTR Option Income Strategy ETF is regaining appeal after a period of NAV erosion and price volatility. MSTY's investment thesis centers on generating high income, not capturing upside, with NAV stability being crucial for long-term holders. Recent trading suggests MSTY may enter another phase of NAV retention and compelling distributions, making it attractive for income-focused investors.

Roundhill MSTR WeeklyPay ETF (MSTW) and Yieldmax MSTR Option Income Strategy ETF (MSTY) both rely on volatile MSTR for income generation. MSTW uses 20% weekly leverage, amplifying both drawdowns and rallies, making it unsuitable for long-term income plans due to high risk. MSTY's option strategy fails to deliver consistent income in flat or volatile markets, ultimately still requiring a bullish thesis on MSTR.

The Strategy stock price continues to plunge this month and has now fallen to the lowest level since April this year. It has moved into a deep bear market after falling by 35 percent from its highest level this year.

The universe of exchange traded funds (ETFs) runs the gamut from high-risk to super-stable.

Buying a YieldMax on the way down can be difficult, but it might be a wise move if one still believes in Bitcoin's future. I'm sure plenty of people are MSTY into weakness, but whether it's a winning move remains up for debate.

Pessimistic market sentiment often creates generational buying opportunities. Legendary investors like Warren Buffett have made fortunes by being greedy when others are fearful. Unfortunately, while the data points provide a ground for being fearful, the market is still greedy. We could make a case for experiencing 'the everything bubble'.

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.
