What if your portfolio could pay you every single week in 2026 — and still compete with high-growth stocks?
That’s exactly the challenge I’m taking on this year.
Instead of chasing only hype stocks or traditional dividend ETFs, I’m building a high-risk, high-reward weekly dividend ETF portfolio to see if it can beat the market. Real money. Real tracking. No filters.
⚠️ Quick disclaimer: This is not financial advice. This is an experiment I’m running with my own money — and I’ll be sharing both the wins and the losses.
Why Weekly Dividend ETFs Are Exploding in Popularity
Most investors are used to quarterly dividends. Monthly dividends feel exciting.
But weekly dividends? That’s a whole different psychological game.
The ETFs I’m focusing on are mostly from Roundhill, REX Shares, YieldMax, and Tidal, and many of them launched only recently. What makes them unique?
They don’t rely purely on options premiums
Some use leverage tied to underlying stocks
Others combine growth exposure + income strategies
Cash flow comes in every week, not months apart
The goal isn’t just income — it’s growth + weekly cash flow.
Roundhill Weekly ETFs: Leverage Without Options
Roundhill’s weekly ETFs became popular fast because of their structure.
Instead of complicated options strategies, these funds use leveraged exposure to well-known stocks. If the stock performs well, the ETF can outperform — and if it drops, the downside is amplified too.
My Top Roundhill Picks
AMDW (AMD Weekly ETF)
Riskier than Broadcom, but more upside. AMD has been chasing Nvidia hard, and 2026 could be its breakout year.GO (Google Weekly ETF)
Google crushed 2025. YouTube alone now dominates household screen time, beating Netflix, Disney+, and Prime Video. Multiple revenue streams = serious potential.GDXW (Gold Miners Weekly ETF)
Riskier than pure gold, but with higher upside. If gold rallies, miners can explode.
📊 Total return (with dividends included):
AMDW: ~27%
GDXW: ~31%
GO: ~84%
Not bad for ETFs most people still haven’t noticed.
REX Shares: Growth + Income in One Package
REX ETFs combine leveraged growth exposure with covered-call income, making them perfect for volatile markets.
My REX Selections
NVI (Nvidia Weekly ETF) – A no-brainer. Still the king of AI.
COI (Coinbase Weekly ETF) – High risk, but massive upside if crypto runs again.
LLI (Eli Lilly Weekly ETF) – A wildcard pharmaceutical play for diversification.
Some could boom. Some could bust. That’s the point of the challenge.
YieldMax & Crypto Exposure: Turning Up the Risk
To realistically try beating the S&P 500, I needed controlled risk.
That’s where these come in:
Chippy – My only YieldMax ETF pick
Blocks – Crypto exposure alongside COI
These funds are bigger, more liquid, and already battle-tested compared to newer launches.
Brand-New Leveraged ETFs I’m Locking In
Two ETFs I’m absolutely committed to tracking in 2026:
TDAX
TSYX
They’re new. They’re leveraged. They’re controversial.
But I want to see how they perform from day one with weekly dividends.
💰 Portfolio structure:
$500 per ETF
10 ETFs total
$5,000 invested
Simple. Transparent. Trackable.
So… Boom or Bust?
This portfolio is riskier than average, but not reckless.
There are safer ETFs I skipped — and some wild ones I deliberately avoided.
Now I want your opinion:
Would you swap any ETFs out?
Should Tesla or another YieldMax fund be included?
DRIP on… or DRIP off?
Drop your thoughts in the comments — this challenge is better with community input.
