Market timing is extremely difficult for investors. The investor bought MSTY in January 2025, likely between $27 and just under $32 per share. MSTY closed at $17.55 on August 22, 2025, with a YTD low near $17.20. Dividends totaled $1.1835 per share as of July 31, 2025. The investor is showing a roughly $19 negative profit and loss and is questioning whether cost averaging was calculated correctly at purchase. The investor intends to rely on yield and dividends rather than share-price appreciation and hopes for returns before the dividend yield declines.
This Redditor is focused on trying to understand why they have only broke even on MSTY. There is a concern that they did not properly value the cost average when they initially bought their position. The hope is that they can make some return before the dividend yield starts to drop. Are you ahead, or behind on retirement?

According to this Redditor's post, they purchased MSTY in January 2025, which means they likely bought it somewhere between $27 at the low and just under $32 at the high. Unfortunately, since the Redditor made their purchase, the actual share price of MSTY has dropped considerably, closing at $17.55 on August 22, 2025. This isn't its YTD low, which looks to be around $17.20, but this is a pretty notable difference from when the Redditor first bought in.
