Don't Expect Any Guarantees Without a doubt, what attracts investors to the YieldMax AMD Option Income Strategy ETF ( NYSEARCA:AMDY) is its advertised 54.65% annualized distribution rate. Since AMD stock doesn't pay any dividends or cash distributions at all, the AMDY ETF seems like a much better choice.
