Here's How I Collect Dividends Every Week
I use weekly paying option ETFs as a supplemental income stream, pairing them with core S&P 500 and Nasdaq ETF holdings for a hybrid approach. These synthetic option ETFs offer high yields and tax-efficient distributions, but come with limited upside and significant downside risk during market declines. I focus on index-based option ETFs for stability, while keeping allocations to riskier, concentrated funds like YMAX and YMAG small.

YMAX: Weekly Dividend Income Yielding Over 50% Annually Comes At A Cost
YMAX offers exceptionally high yields, but these are largely offset by significant share price declines and NAV erosion due to its synthetic options strategy. The fund's distributions are mostly return of capital, raising concerns about sustainability and long-term value for income-focused investors. While YMAX has outperformed SPY in total return over the past year, I prefer more stable alternatives like QQQI for income investing.

YMAX: An Efficient Weekly Income Machine
YieldMax Universe Fund of Option Income ETFs offers a high-yielding option with weekly payouts, attracting income-seeking investors despite market volatility. YMAX's distribution rate exceeds 65%, though it varies weekly based on market conditions and the fund's option strategy performance. Despite a 33% price drop since inception, the Fund's total return, including dividends, is nearly 21.5%, emphasizing its income-generating potential over capital appreciation.

YMAX Doesn't Deliver Durable Income
YMAX offers diversified volatility exposure and aims for stable returns through equal-weighted investments in YieldMax income plans. The fund has shown a 34% annualized return in payouts, but lags behind the S&P 500 in total growth, raising concerns about its overall effectiveness. Concerns on timing an entry and use case are evident.

YMAX: I'll Take One Of Everything
YieldMax Universe Fund offers high income through a fund-of-funds approach, bundling various YieldMax ETFs to mitigate idiosyncratic risks. YMAX's 97% 30-day SEC yield is attractive, but the fund suffers from price decline and tax inefficiency, distributing most returns as ordinary income. Suitable for aggressive investors in tax-advantaged accounts, YMAX should be limited to 5% of an aggressive income portfolio or 3% alongside YMAG.

YMAX: Diversification Risk Hurts Income Prospect
YieldMax Universe Fund offers a high yield of 57%, but its diversified options-income strategy leads to NAV decline. YMAX's holdings employ synthetic covered calls, causing NAV erosion if underlying stocks decline, unlike traditional income funds with stable principal. Comparing YieldMax funds based on TSLA, NVDA, and COIN shows varied performance due to different underlying stock movements, impacting total returns.
