Dividend Harvesting Portfolio Week 249: $24,900 Allocated, $2,646.53 In Projected Dividends

The Dividend Harvesting Portfolio remains up 32.60% on invested capital, yielding 8.02%, despite a temporary dip in dividend income from the MSTY reverse split. A dovish Fed rate cut and bullish GDP projections support expectations for a year-end market rally, favoring income-generating, rate-sensitive holdings. Recent capital was allocated to AMLP for high-yield, fee-based energy exposure, and to VZ, citing turnaround potential and robust EBITDA.

MSTY: The Dark Side Of Its 100%+ Yield

The Yieldmax MSTR Option Income Strategy ETF (MSTY) offers a headline 100%+ yield, but this is largely unsustainable and primarily funded by return of capital.

MSTY: Understanding Its Performance And Potential

YieldMax MSTR Option Income Strategy ETF (MSTY) offers high income via covered calls on volatile MSTR, but has suffered alongside MSTR's decline. MSTY's recent price drop is tied to MSTR's weakness and market volatility, not just NAV erosion, with distributions still attractive for income seekers.
