Q: I have asked lots of questions on GDXY and received answers that helped me assess the questions . So thanks for your great answers .....One additional question I have is on " dividend movement " .... I've researched this myself and haven't really noticed an effect from the security going ex-dividend with an associated drop in price . But this question is on " the honking big dividend effect " . I once asked Yieldmax investor relations a question. They ignored the question but put me on their mailing list . As a result I know how much the dividend is going to be the day before it goes ex- dividend..... I was notified today { the day before it goes ex-dividend } that the dividend will be 72.86% { annualized }.... As of 8:00 AM this morning the price of Gold is up $61.90 and the price of GDXY is up .30 or 1.70% .....

What I want to know is during previous extraordinarily large dividend payments { 70% or better } what was happening to the price of Gold ? The GDXY ETF price ? And if there was a reaction how long on average it took to settle to it's former price ? I would like to know what 5i's opinion on " why " the security moves or doesn't move on going ex-dividend into these large payments .....And how long it takes things to get back to normal ...... I'm trying to assess whether it is worthwhile going overweight couple of percent for a couple of days to collect the dividend and then sell and go back to my normal weighting ? Thanks for your terrific service ......

Q: Please ignore my previous question . I accidentally hit the send button before I had finished editing it .......Here is the same question after editing .......

I've been enjoying the amount of option related dividends going into my account monthly. I call it Taco investing . Trump announces something stupid and then backs off . This creates volatility in the options market creating higher option premiums . What I have ....

GDXY ...... 9% position .

SLVO ...... 3.2% position

HPYT ...... 3.79% position

HYLD ......6.72% position { the lowest yield at 11.2% } May replace wtih SDAY or start a new position .

I'm looking to increase my exposure to " honking big dividends " in the 14% or better category .... My shortlist includes UMAX { 14.83% yield } and ECAT { 22% yield } I realize the higher the yield the higher the risk.....But could 5i give me three names other than the two mentioned above that you think are interesting at 14% or better and three you find interesting above 18% ..... Accompanied by a brief comment on the risks ........ I used the word " interesting " as opposed to " what 5i likes " to reflect the associated risks of high yield investing ......Thanks for your terrific service .....

Q: It is a general rule that the day a stock goes ex-dividend there is a corresponding drop in the stock price .....Could 5i tell me the movement of GDXY the day it went ex-dividend for the last four dividend payments ? I didn't notice any movement myself that I could attribute to the security going ex-dividend but I wasn't watching closely ..... Also if there was movement what was the average recovery time for the ETF to return to the pre ex-dividend price or better ? Please tie your calculations to a corresponding rise or drop of the price of gold at the time of the events ? .... Thanks for your terrific service ! .....
