Ten shares of $MSTY, bought at inception in February 2024 — $211.92 in. Over the next 861 days the share price fell 87%. Your brokerage calls that a disaster and stays quiet about the rest.
The rest: the fund paid $468.13 in cash along the way. Add the $27.16 of shares still standing and the position is up 133% on the money in. That gap — between the red line and the real outcome — is the single biggest reason this platform exists.
Not a recommendation. $MSTY is one fund — plenty of others bled out with no cash to catch you, and low yield never meant low risk. That's the point: run the fund before you buy it. Historical data, not advice — full disclaimer.

Same underlying, different engine — $NFLY sells covered calls on Netflix, $NFLW runs leverage on it. Head-to-Head stacks up to ten funds on one chart with cash generated, NAV drift and total value in one table. Same “income fund” label. Completely different machine.
| Ticker | NAV drift | Cash generated | Total value |
|---|---|---|---|
| $NFLY | −55.85% | $2,608.12 | $7,023.49 |
| $NFLW | −66.10% | $2,651.14 | $6,041.42 |
$10,000 in each, 07/03/2025 → 07/03/2026. Both paid roughly $2,600 in cash. Neither cash pile saved the total — and the leveraged wrapper lost a thousand dollars more. The backtest told you that in four seconds, before you bought. Low yield did not mean low risk. It just meant less cash to catch you.
Stage your own duel →I'm Lenny. A retail investor who got tired of doing income-fund homework across six tabs and a spreadsheet, so I built the terminal I wanted. Every tool on this platform exists because I hit a wall doing my own research.
“The proof it's working is that it keeps handing me — the guy who built it — funds I didn't know were on the menu.”— Lenny, in the Sunday Report

We license it. The Retail Investor Report pays multiple professional market-data vendors under commercial license, cross-checked against SEC filings and issuer disclosures nightly. AUM is validated against shares outstanding × price, because vendor AUM goes stale and we'd rather catch it than repeat it.
Yes. The Data API serves the curated income-ETF dataset: free key for basic access, Pro at $39/month for all fields and 10,000 calls a day, Enterprise for bulk licensing. There's an MCP endpoint too, so AI agents can discover and query the dataset directly.
That's the whole point — don't take anyone's word for it, not even mine. The entire toolset is one free account away.
