MICA Portfolio

10/22/2025 - Acquired two more shares of $WPAY at intraday low for $50.33. Total income expected for November (as of this update) is around $37.

10/20/2025 - Sold entire $MSTY position (~10.5 shares) after $6.07 distribution. Reallocated capital and acquired three shares of $WPAY, Roundhill WeeklyPay Universe ETF. Yield may decrease under this new ETF. However, the leveraged strategy combats erosion and captures upside.

Overall, the $MSTY position realized a loss of -$257.72. Total dividend distributions total +$153.62. Total return equaling -$104.10. This is the first position sold and the first realized loss for the MICA Portfolio. The thesis behind $MSTY proved incorrect, as the underlying ($MSTR) price action (PA) declined. NAV erosion ate principal, which was unfavorable with the goals of this portfolio. The alternative, $WPAY from Roundhill, addresses concerns with $MSTY by diversifying into other tech-focused income ETFs and offering 1.2x leverage to capture principal upside, as stated before.

10/10/2025 - Market volatility today! Acquired five shares in a new Income ETF in today's price dips; $WPAY, Roundhill WeeklyPay Universe ETF. It is an equal-weighted index of all WeeklyPay single-stock ETFs offered by Roundhill. It aims for "fluctuating weekly distribution payments based on its constituents' distributions."

9/30/2025 - The September report is available! Sold 6.32638 shares of $MSTY. As expressed in previous updates, it is in the greater interest to reduce exposure to NAV erosion of $MSTY, as the underlying asset's performance is insufficient to maintain a stable price and dividend. I am researching a similar asset managed by Roundhill Investments.

9/18/2025 - Acquired 15 more shares (65 total) of $GRAB at $6.32. New cost basis is $5.12.

9/17/2025 - Today, the Fed announced a 25 basis point cut. The Effective Federal Funds Rate is expected to hover around 4.08% after the cut. Indexes closed relatively flat on the day. In addition, the Fed discussed its plan for a total of 75 bps cut in 2025, likely resulting in two more cuts this year.

Forbes recently featured $GRAB (Grab Stock To Grow 2x?), noting their first positive free cash flow in 2024 and continued revenue growth. This publicity is bullish for Grab, as the previous four trading sessions have seen over 100M shares in volume. Additionally, the stock has successfully broken out of the $5 range and reached the $6 support level. I will expand on the portfolio's exposure to Grab.

Recent IPOs such as $KLAR and $FIGR are on my radar as potential growth opportunities.  

9/2/2025 - Sold 17 shares of $MSTY. While it realizes a capital loss, the dividends paid by the strategy create a breakeven. Cash is now 20%+ allocation. As September is historically flat or red, I will spend the month conducting due diligence for the next growth position.

8/31/2025 - August was relatively flat. As pointed out earlier, $MSTY continues to erode. I will reduce portfolio exposure, perhaps 10 or so shares, and reallocate to a new dividend ETF strategy.

8/20/2025 - The market appears to be making a rotation, causing red for the S&P 500 tech and cyclical sectors.

Sold ~3.5 shares of $MSTY, to reduce exposure and reallocate capital to $WTPI, acquiring two more shares. Added one more share of $SPMO and two shares of $HOOD.

8/6/2025 - New $GRAB thesis! $MSTR is down 7% the last month, resulting in $MSTY eroding. I am currently looking for the next growth position and considering $HIMS and $PLTR. However, I would love a pullback on $HIMS and $PLTR for a discounted entry.

8/1/2025 - New $1,000 deposit. Added 25 shares to the GRAB position at $4.76/share. Added 10 more shares to WTPI.

7/31/2025 - $MSTY brought the MICA Portfolio return down to 2.28% YTD as it dipped -9.68% in July. The high exposure to $MSTY presents this risk of erosion when $MSTR is unable to keep momentum. Volatility decreases also hinder the option premium, which may result in a lower dividend in August.

7/26/2025 - The next deposit will expand on derivative positions and growth positions.

7/15/2025 - New $400 deposit. Acquired 10 shares of WisdomTree Equity Premium Income (WTPI), which yields monthly distributions, added 5 shares to the GRAB position, and added 1 share to the S&P 500 Momentum ETF (SPMO).

7/14/2025 - The next deposit will expand both derivative positions and growth positions.

7/7/2025 - New $200 deposit. Purchased 1 share of Invesco's S&P 500 Momentum ETF (SPMO), gaining exposure into the broad market with slight leverage, 3.55256 shares of MSTY, and 2 shares of GRAB. 

MSTY is distributing a dividend today at a rate of $1.2382 per share. The MICA Portfolio held 26.43047 shares on the ex-date. Dividend expected $32.72.

6/30/2025 - Next buy will introduce exposure into the broad market, via an S&P 500 ETF. While it had a turbulent start, Q2 of 2025 ends with the market at all-time highs.
