SPY or SPYI… which one actually wins?

Most investors think they know the answer — growth beats income, right?

But when you run the numbers, the outcome isn’t as obvious as it seems.

In this video, I break down the real difference between SPY and SPYI and what actually happens over time depending on your strategy.

We’re looking at:

Total return vs income generation
SPY vs SPYI performance comparison
DRIP vs taking the income
How covered call strategies impact long-term growth
Which ETF actually builds more wealth over time

Because the biggest mistake investors make isn’t picking the wrong ETF…

It’s not understanding how the strategy plays out over time.

And depending on whether you reinvest or take the income…

The same ETF can lead to completely different results.
