I am very new at cc eft investing (April 2026). Purchased this May 1st of this year. It's down almost 10% at this point. Would you sell or turn on drip suring this down turn? ( I have not been dripping) . I'm still learning and want to know how others work these in their own accounts. None of us are financial advisors I know this.

I would not sell - it will continue to give you income even if down. Right now, a lot of the Nasdaq CC ETFs are down because the Nasdaq is down. When it’s down buy more (within an allocation limit) to bring down the cost of your shares). I highly recommend watching @perryf videos to learn about investment strategies, etc for CC ETFs.

With cc ETFs it’s better to take it slow and measure the results like you have. The underlying is the Nasdaq which is historically more volatile and that’s reflected in the price. You have an otherwise normal looking portfolio with just a few cc ETFs. Unfortunately cc ETFs are not buying it and go away for 1 year, they require constant monitoring. You have to decide whether it’s worth it or not. I find those with distributions of 10%-18% to be more NAV stable. 20%+ have a slow bleed. 30%+ decay too fast imo. No need to panic. You need to figure out what you’re willing to put up with with cc ETFs and their underlying basket of stocks, NAV erosion or stability and their role they will play in your portfolio. Do you need additional income and why vs traditional 4% withdrawal in retirement. Remember that retiring in your 50’s you may need to fund possibly another 4 decades of life. With a traditional portfolio of diversified index ETFs with reasonable growth, is how a retirement is funded. If a cc etf portfolio has NAV erosion, the payouts will get smaller over time unless you re-contribute to maintain the principal, but no guarantees

This isn't really a downturn. Markets are volatile, they go up and down. You need to have an investing strategy based upon the investment themselves. We don't even know what kind of underlying funds you are talking about.
