This is the high-risk, income-focused portfolio update — the one built around YieldMax, Roundhill, GraniteShares, and other high-yield ETF strategies. The purpose of this portfolio is very specific: generate monthly cash flow so we can cover living expenses while letting the main portfolio continue compounding untouched. This is also the replacement experiment for the failed CONY strategy. The difference is that this portfolio is more diversified, more flexible, and actively managed. We are not trying to hold every ETF forever. We are watching payouts, NAV erosion, return of capital, concentration risk, and whether each holding still de...

The income portfolio.

T

TimHost

1:44

This is chaos.

T

TimHost

1:47

So the very first thing, we had two complete sells in this quarter.

T

TimHost

1:53

We sold COIW, which is the Roundhill Coinbase ETF.

C

CarmelaHost

1:56

I don't know what they are doing with the Coinbase high yields and the Roundhill yield max.

C

CarmelaHost

2:00

They all just suck.

T

TimHost

2:01

So yeah, we sold that on August 7th, 8-7.

T

TimHost

2:04

And then on August 11th, we sold USOY, which at the time, we actually recouped all of that initial.

T

TimHost

2:12

And normally what I do when I recoup all the initials, I just let the profits run.

T

TimHost

2:16

But I noticed that USOY's dividend has been shrinking, even though we're in a... where the dividend shouldn't be shrinking.

T

TimHost

2:23

So I got out of that and I actually dumped USOY into USOI on August 11th.

T

TimHost

2:29

But we had some additions this quarter.

T

TimHost

2:31

We added KYLD on 6-25.

T

TimHost

2:35

We added RNTY on 7-21.

T

TimHost

2:38

We added AVGW, which is the broadband of Brownhill, on 8-4.

T

TimHost

2:43

We added CEPI, which is the sister of AIPI and FEPI.

T

TimHost

2:47

We added that on 8-4 as well.

T

TimHost

2:50

We added USOI, like I mentioned, on 8.11. And we added YRAM on 8.25, which is the yield max storage and memory new ETF that came out.

C

CarmelaHost

2:58

I'm really excited about that one.

T

TimHost

3:01

So those are our additions and our subtractions.
