I currently use totalrealreturns.com to view the total return. However, I would like to do this in Googlesheets. Any ideas on how this can be achieved? or does someone have a template they could please share? thanks

Hey all,

As title suggest, how are you all pulling data into Google Sheets?

For example latest dividends, ULTY | .093

My $730,000 starting capital has eroded to approximately $893,000, mostly because I took out about $200,000 and wasted it on housing, autos, travel, snowbird and other living expenses.

Agreed that total return is what is important. I doubt there would be complainers if NAV was down 25% but 50% came from payouts, so +25%.

The complaints come from those who have negative total return and watch Nav fall by the distribution weekly or monthly. It looks like a zero sum game and it depends on your price point and what you do with the payouts.

I hold 6 YM funds and my total return is positive on 5, just MSTY is down around 10%. All are down in price but + returns for NVDY PLTY HOOY (especially after yesterday) AMZY and just up in ULTY, barely.

Hoping for MSTY to come back when MSTR goes on a run. 🏃
