I was actually looking for the number of days a stock may trade below the threshold of $1. Instead, I got an update on the process.
Hey now, the SEC issued new rules on shares failing the min listing requirements ($1/sh).
I like the new limitations on stock reverse splits. It definitely reduces the possibility of a DryShips entity (The George Economou led company had 6 or 7 reverse splits over less than two years)

The fourth payment of March 2025 was announced yesterday, and paid today. The payments were on a declining trend 0.1514, 0.1445, 0.085 & 0.0837. Or, put another way, the first two payouts were about 63% of the total monthly payout.
Something has changed - the weakest payout was usually in the middle of the month. The weakest payout shifted out to the end for March 2025. Lots has changed in the overall market, and lots has changed within the Mag 7 names.
During, or after, April 2025 – Decisions, decisions

Hi @HohumYNWA,
Something changes Every Week!
YMAG owns shares of 7 different ETF’s the each invest in options on the Mag 7 components.
As the Prices of the underlying change and as the Sentiment toward each changes, the amount of options premiums will vary.
No mystery or intrigue, just normal and abnormal market actions.
Does that help you?

@gdett2 - You are correct. Something does change with YMAG every week. But, that’s the obvious part.
However, you are incorrect when you downplay my observation. I will note that I titled the thread - The 2025 Weekly Dividend experiment. An experiment allows for the observation of changes. And often, that’s the point of doing the experiment.
Does that help you?

While April 2025 has a few more days to go, in terms of YMAG payouts, no additional payouts. An interesting-to-me development. The weekly payouts were $0.0971, $0.0973, $0.0943 & $0.0924. But, it illustrates better on a chart–

April 2025 has been the most consistent weekly payout ever (well, … in 7 months).
The weekly payout format started in September 2024, actually mid September 2024. The significance? Well, the monthly total for April 2025 is $0.3811, which happens to be the second lowest monthly total ever (or 15 months). The lowest being the two payout month of Sept 2024 @ $0.3680

Another month with five YMAG payouts. The first two payouts were more in line with the April 2025 payouts. But then, the next three payouts, each saw significant increases. 1st payout 10.10 cents, 5th payout 29.29 cents.
Again, easier to illustrate with a chart

How will YMAG be impacted by the “TACO” trade? Well, Nvidia (NVDA) mgmt indicated they lost revenue due to decisions on China. June will probably be when the markets sort out the newly announced 50% tariffs on Steel and Aluminum. And July 2025 is decision on EU tariffs
