YMAX ETF's covered-call strategy limits upside and exposes investors to significant single-stock risks, leading to long-term underperformance and high volatility. The fund has delivered -8% total returns recently, with a 22% share price drop, highlighting the strategy's flaws in volatile markets. Investors should avoid YMAX due to its loser's game strategy, which fails to mitigate single stock risks and underperforms in non-bull markets.

YMAX: It Has A Place In Your Portfolio But Likely A Small Place

YieldMax has launched the YieldMax Universe Fund of Option Income ETFs, which invests in a portfolio of YieldMax single-stock ETFs. YMAX's strategy is to simply buy the universe of YieldMax single-stock ETFs. Although YMAX has been off to a strong start, I advise caution as the fundamental flaw of 'capped upside, uncapped downside' remains.
