Main summary

Key takeaways

Finance

What the creator tested (portfolio setup)

  • Investor: Spencer
  • Total capital: $5,000
  • Number of positions: 10 weekly dividend ETF positions
  • Implied allocation: ~$500 per ETF
  • Timeframe: Performance review so far in 2026, with tracking of:
    • Weekly dividend payments
    • Monthly dividend totals
    • Price total return
  • Goal: Check whether weekly dividend ETFs can:
    • Outperform their underlying assets, and
    • Keep pace with “the market”, especially as stocks rebound.

ETFs / tickers mentioned (and what they target)

Roundhill “weekly pay” leveraged ETFs (1.2x leverage; no options overlay)

  • AMD W (AMD weekly pay)
  • GDX W (gold miner selection weekly pay)
  • GOO W (Google weekly pay)

Risk note (in-video): Leverage is implemented via swaps, and swap costs can be “very very expensive,” potentially eroding returns.

REX ETFs (leverage + options overlay; described as “50/50”)

  • NVIAI (Nvidia-focused)
  • COII (Coinbase / crypto exchange exposure)
  • LLII (Eli Lilly-focused)

Performance/behavior note: NVIAI has sometimes outperformed Nvidia due to the structure (options + leverage).

Other weekly dividend ETFs

  • CHIPY (described as a popular/big weekly yield-max fund)
  • BLOK (crypto / crypto-company mix)
    • Creator estimates about half exposure to Ethereum/Bitcoin
    • Options overlay is included

Tap Alpha leveraged weekly funds

  • TDAX (described as 1.3x leveraged T Dac Q; weekly)
  • TSYX (described as T Spy on the S&P 500; weekly)

    • Called fairly consistent

Other

    • TDAX: $2.55 → $2.22 → $2.12 → $2.08 (declining trend)
    • TSYX: $2.02 → $1.87 → $1.35 (declining trend; creator references month-to-month declines)

Portfolio-level weekly dividend average (explicit)

  • Weekly dividend output described as averaging ~$33.83 per week
  • Framed as producing “$30 every single week” from roughly a $5,000 portfolio

Monthly dividend totals (explicit)

  • January: $84
  • February: $145.79
  • March: $129
  • April (so far): $62.37
  • Total dividends so far: $421.75
  • Comment: April is expected to rise further with upcoming distributions.

Performance results (price total return + dividend impact)

Spencer distinguishes:

  • Price return / total return (green vs red positions)
  • Dividends can partly offset price drawdowns

Worst performers (explicit)

  • COII: down 26.3% (worst by creator’s measure)
    • Creator notes dividends were “amazing,” but position is down ~$131
  • LLII: down 16.15%
  • BLOK: down 9.5%
    • Creator expects a bounce with crypto
  • TSYX: down 1.24%
    • Surprised the creator (weaker than expected)

Other mentions (“red but not the worst”)

  • GOO W: down 2.66%
  • GDX W: creator flags that despite slight price gains, market drawdown context is large (creator cites market return down 12%)

Best performers (explicit)

  • AMD W: up 29.84% (best performer)
    • Creator highlights nearly 30% in under 4 months
    • Notes it likely hasn’t included the last dividend from that week yet
  • CHIPY: up 18.43% (second-best performer)
  • NVIAI: up 7.54%
  • TDAX: up 1.29%
  • GDX W: up 0.42%
    • Creator still notes losses versus market return.

Explicit investing cautions / recommendations stated

  • Leverage cost warning (Roundhill): swap-based leverage can be “very very expensive,” reducing returns.
  • Distribution sustainability risk (BLOK):
    • Creator cites “payout ratio about 36%”
    • Says distribution rate is too high, implying potential sustainability concerns
    • Crypto volatility is emphasized
  • NAV erosion risk (CHIPY):
    • Creator worries CHIPY could resemble another example (ULTY) if semiconductors pull back and NAV erosion accelerates
  • Dividend-decline concern (Tap Alpha funds: TDAX, TSYX):
    • Dividends have been falling steadily
    • Creator: continued declines without a real reason would be worrisome
  • General structure implication: the creator is evaluating whether weekly dividend ETFs can outperform, implicitly acknowledging that results vary significantly based on leverage mechanics and whether options overlays are used.

Key methodology/framework used in the video (tracking approach)

  • Equal capital allocation: invest $500 each into 10 weekly dividend ETFs
  • No additional buying: creator states they did not buy more shares after starting 2026 (“I haven’t been buying any more since the beginning of 2026.”)
  • Tracking includes:
    • Weekly dividend per fund
      • Identify highest payer and consistency
    • Monthly dividend totals
    • Price performance / total return
  • Best/worst determination uses combined context, including:
    • Price change (framed via total return)
    • Dividend contribution
    • Creator’s expectations based on underlying rebounds
