Might have been Sun Tzu but you were part of the conversation. I think you missed the point, so I will do the math, simplified. These are not my actual holdings but give the ratios. I was responding to catou1 IIRC.

Buy 10K of QYLD. Monthly dividends vary some but I will use Yahoo yield of 12.2% since that's about right.
Buy 1200 SQQQ. The hedge isn't perfect, but since I first bought QYLD that's close to the right number, give or take about 100 shares. At today's prices you have $150,920 in QYLD, hedged with $68,316 of SQQQ.

Total investment is $219,236 so the net yield is reduced to 68.8% of 12.2 = 8.39% net yield.

Not back in my opinion.

That said, I will point out that SQQQ versus QYLD doesn't always track the same. As is often said, YMMV.
So far I am happy with the results in that I get dividends that more than cover my required IRA distributions,
so my total assets aren't shrinking while I feel that I don't have the level of risk which I sense in buying
REITs or other instruments for income.

I do also add EPV/TZA/SPXS at times since we are in a bear market.
