MSTY Income Play

MSTY is generating over 150% yields by leveraging the options market volatility to generate income.

Many people have made the point that they could have invested $200K in MSTY and essentially retired and lived off the income distribution which has been amazing.

However, it is important to note that even more amazing is the return if you just took the same money and bought MSTR and held.

On top of this is the tax efficiency of Buy and Hold.  The distributions are taxed as ordinary income.  The Buy Hold drops in LT Capital Gains after 1 year.

The income stream looks tempting - for sure.  But do the math before you consider a play like this.
