SPYI pays a huge yield. Is it free money? (11.9%) #Shorts

SPYI pays a huge yield. Is it free money? 11.9% paid by SPYI in 12 mo. Over 12 months you collected 11.9% in distributions, while the share price moved +16.3%. Here the price actually held (+16.3%), so your real return was ~+28.2% — even better. But that’s not guaranteed: high payouts can erode NAV. 📊 VERIFIED DATA — every figure is checked before it is published.
