Backtesting FEPI & AIPI ETF - Infinate $ Glitch or Yield Trap?

[@HowHingPau]

FEPI's holdings were too similar to my other Growth and Tech themed ETFs, so I went with AIPI which helped to increase the diversity in my portfolio. The higher yield was nice too.

I have two decent sized holdings of FEPI and AIPI 500 shares of each, ave price in the 48s+ on both.... will keep riding these divi... set my sale price to 48 n buy back in under that..in the mean time, i keep riding the price appreciation n divi days 🤑🤑

Are u a 🤡?

[@mikesgarage394]

Have ~60 FEPI per IRA along with other high income ETFs, initially building positions of each such that they can each buy monthly shares, ad then buy more growth oriented assets. May start adding AIPI.

About 700 shares of each

I don’t own either of these but I own YMAX which is similar. Currently, it’s about 7% of my portfolio and I don’t see it becoming more or less unless something major happens.

You're doing a fantastic job! Just a quick off-topic question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?

If a crash hits the markets , they will continue to pay good dividends?

[@TheProfessorExplains]

It depends. If we see a correction, how well these funds do will be based entirely on the speed of the correction and how much it impacts volatility. When volatility goes up, option premiums go up, so the call options they sell would generate more in premiums. That may help offset the decline in the prices of the underlying holdings as the stocks they hold are high beta and would go down more than the broader market. So to answer your question, I think these funds would yield a little less during a correction, but that yield might cushion the blow and prevent these funds from dropping as much as a pure tech ETF that doesn’t sell covered calls. For example, an ETF like AIQ which has similar holdings to AIPI would not be generating the extra income from selling options. So if both fund’s underlying holdings drop 30%, AIPI might drop a bit less in terms of total returns while AIQ would drop 30%. That said, in a correction, all of these high beta covered call funds would definitely get hit pretty hard. As for their distributions, they wouldn’t disappear, but they would go down. How much they go down is tied to way too many factors to even try and estimate.
