Want to support the channel join here https://www.patreon.com/c/Retirementguy Hey everyone—Doug the Retirement Guy here. Today we’re reviewing YieldMax’s Friday-paying ETFs (Group #2) after the shift to weekly distributions. We’ll break down one-week moves, four-week moving averages, distribution changes, return-per-week, ROI timing, and most importantly total return (yield + price). What’s inside: 📈 One-week leaders & laggards (DRAY, GDXY, CVNY, etc.) 💸 This week’s payouts vs. last week (HIYY, CRCO, GMEY, HOOY, PLTY, WNTR, MARO, SMCY…) 🧮 Return per week and my personal ROI rule of thumb (targeting ~≤1 year) ⚠️ NAV erosion & ROC—why headline yield can mislead ✅ Total return rankings (where income + price action actually net out) Notes & transparency: All figures are as of Nov 12, 2025 and may change at any time. Dividend eligibility depends on the ex-dividend and record dates—verify with your broker. This video is educational/entertainment only. I’m not a financial advisor. Do your own research and consider speaking with a licensed professional. 💬 Question of the day: Which Friday payer ranks highest on your total-return list—HOOY, WNTR, CRSH, HIYY, or PLTY? 🔔 Subscribe for weekly/monthly ETF income breakdowns 🤝 Join Patreon (free option available) for early access to my charts and data snapshots
