Before you invest any material amounts in very high yielding instruments of any kind, be prepared for capital decay. Just look at long time charts for those "high yields" and you will see. Those distributions are not the same as dividends. You have to time those. If your capital amount allows, just buy Canadian financials as they will grow their dividends AND will grow in value (as opposed to decaying from distributing its own capital).
Hey man, I wanted to know, when do you trim your stocks? I normally just keep my stocks forever and don't really touch them, but notice that you like to trim them and wanted to know if you have any advice on when to do so and how much to trim. Thanks a lot, your videos help me out so much!
I still have SVOL in my RRSP but starting to worry about the performance at the moment. Will you ever get back into it? I think I will hold onto it for awhile and see what happens......just subscribed
its still a great fund! what i do with my portfolio is for my own taste and objectives. everyone is different. in case you missed it, check out this video: ua-cam.com/video/bGTy6SFIoZg/v-deo.html
Thanks for the Portfolio Unveiled video Adrian! Nice to see your portfolio is doing so well. Since I basically invested the same ETFs as yours which means my portfolio must also be doing well.
How did you manage to have such high yields in your RRSPs? The annual income shows about U$71,000 or C$97,000. Based on a book value of C$145,000, the yield comes out to 67% Or if I use the market value of C$286,000, the yield comes out to 34%. Any way you calculate it using the numbers in the spreadsheet, the yield is exceptionally high.
@@JulioMoscoso39 I got smoked on tlsy. Down 68% and they did a stock reverse split and now I own half the shares I bought. I think with dividends I'm down 50% in 2 years. The only people making money is yieldmax with their high fees.
@@ChuckHolland-i4b Lesson learned: yield does not equal return. People who believe that it does will flock into these high-yielding funds and discover what happens as you have. I am not saying these funds are not good, but they serve a different purpose of what people think they do. I think they are really for a small niche of investors like those who need a means of melting down their capital knowing their life expectancy is nearing the end. So people need to know what they are buying by understanding how these types of funds work.
that's wrong. you can pull out anything from the RRSP/RRIF. LIRA/LIF is a little more restrictive. you need to master how those accounts work as a top priority
@@PassiveIncomeInvesting Not sure which of the 2 opinions you wanted reasoning for so I will provide both. I think MSTR has way better upside and distributions than MAXI (i do think you will need to time the selling later in 2025 if prior cycle dynamics play out). Moving all your eggs into one fund manager basket (re: QDTE) is gutsy because if they start screwing up or making bad decisions you may not be able to get out in time. Not something I would choose but you may make out quite well in the short term at least. I look forward to seeing how it goes.
Curious which of these ETFs would do better in TFSA vs Non registered? In terms of eligible dividends/ tax implications. I heard Utes and encl you have strictly in your TFSA.
Hi, trying to understand this. He said that he's making $31,000 in dividends, but he's just rolling it back into his stocks through drip. Annualizing that yield works out to about $22 or 23%. I'd be interested to understand how the portfolio as a whole is growing including the underlying assets and adding the dividends to that to see what the annualized game is because the dividend itself is misleading
Hi Adriano thanks for all the info you give us. You probably manage to live off your channel but it would be interesting to see how your portfolio would be doing if you had to live off of it. TIA
You said you only like single stock covered call ETFs such as TSLY in a stock you love, that offers at least 18% yield and is “leveraged”. Not meaning to sound ignorant, but what exactly do you mean by “leveraged”? Thx for video.
Leverage is a financial term which usually means borrowed money to buy more shares for higher returns. So when you buy such a fund, your money is growing faster from the leverage because you buy $100 of the fund but have $125 working for you. Leverage can also cause your fund to decline faster when the market declines. Borrowed money is the usual way of accomplishing leverage. Spilt funds are highly leveraged with no borrowed money. Investors achieve leverage from another group of investors who invest in the same fund but forfeit all their returns to them in exchange for the dividends the fund earns.
I tried TSLY and holding it since June 2023, down 66% on capital, with dividends, 12 months return is 9%. Very poor performance. I just hold it until it self erodes to zero, to see it happen.
@@Master-bp8pd Sounds like the risk of capital and NAV erosion is so high in these single stock covered call positions that even with the high-yield dividends, they are only worth buying at or near 52 week lows.
I suspect that if you hold on to it until it erodes to zero, it will have paid you back all your capital and then some. But you should really look at the return of the underlying stock from the time you bought your fund. If the stock is down, your fund will be down even more because of its leverage. Also don't forget to add your payment amounts when you calculate your Total Return because, as you have discovered, those amounts contain much of your original capital used to help melt down the fund. Indeed, that's what such high returns are meant to do; its not free money coming out of nowhere like poof. Hopefully, Tesla will fly soon and take your fund for a prosperous ride. Tesla has the potential to do so in order to prevent the meltdown of your fund. Cathie Wood, fund manager of ARKK predicted earlier this year that Tesla will triple in the next 6 years. Elon Musk says, that would be a challenge but manageable. From the 20% yield my YTSL fund is earning, I'd be happy for a 50% growth of the fund, let alone 200%!
MSTY is going to be super volatile. I like MSTU better but you might end up doing better with MSTY if you have the stomach for it. I think ETHY will do you well if you hold onto it for the next 12 months. The annual dividend is higher than BTCY but it shows lower on your spreadsheet... but I guess that's because you bought ETHY when it was higher. In any case, thanks for your work!
I have a Question about your RS holding. You mentioned that it's not tax efficient in a non registered account. I was thinking of ADDING RS to my portfolio because it pays almost all dividends as ROC. Is ROC not tax efficient in a non reg account?
Hi Adrian. I hold QDTE in my RRSP, which I hold in RBC Direct. When I look up QDTE, it says it's not DRIP eligible but you say you have it in a DRIP in your RRSP. How were you able to accomplish that? Did you make some special request?

I can't see the logic in owning QQCL with 100 stocks and a 13.48% yield when USCL has 500 stocks (including all the 100 in QQCL) and has a yield of 13.57%. Why not just own USCL? I'd much rather own 500 stocks and earn a higher yield than own 100 stocks and earn less 🤷
@@Sk3pT1kal82 The benchmark for each ETF is different, QQCL tracks NASDAQ-100, while USCL tracks S&P-500. The strategies and percentages in each ETF are not the same, so the performance will be different.

Great information. Your thoughts on UMAX for a defensive play.
Utilities are a safe sector but they are interest rate sensitive as we've seen in the last couple of years.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I won’t be able to use/live off any dividends from my LIRA’s or RRSP, right? Even the dividends needs to stay locked in?
that's wrong. you can pull out anything from the RRSP/RRIF. LIRA/LIF is a little more restrictive. you need to master how those accounts work as a top priority

I suppose speculation (leverage and debt) is real wealth to you?

What could be compared to MAXI and MSTY on the Canadian side?
nothing yet. no MSTR CC ETF ... yet
Instead of SVOL, I switched to ZIVB for more leverage on the VIX. So far, so good. Higher yield and holding its NAV.
