That goes into personal finance - if you know you're going to have a large payment coming up (say, a down payment) you're supposed to keep that part liquid. Personally I hate dollars, bonds, and t-bills, so I keep that portion of my portfolio in low(er) volatility ETFs such as DIVO, SCHD, FDL, AUSF. I'd personally rather maintain exposure to the market and accept that it's possible I'll take a loss. Lately though I've just been borrowing against my portfolio because I don't see a reason to sell. All major brokerages offer secured loans against your portfolio, with anywhere from 4.5% to 7% interest. No issue using those funds for a mortgage down payment.
Similar cash, holding just FDL LW and MLP
SCHD DVY HDV FDVV FDL Cumulative Yield is 3.5% dividend yield. And remember dividends grow . SCHD is my favorite . Dividend ETFs in retirement are the goal since if your goal is to retire off dividends and not deplete your retirement this is what you’ll need. The Industry as some would call it is a SCAM. You cannot withdraw 4% of your portfolio starting balance and match for inflation due to something called NEGATIVE SEQUENCE OF RETURNS RISK. If you are selling shares in a down market you’re screwed over time and depleting your shares . You’re literally killing the goose laying the egg. Vs Withdrawing the dividends and using that to live on and budget. And not selling a single share.

In for $FDL! Does it matter that I don't know wtf I just bought? First post here and I already feel like I'm regarded 😒
A mix of SGOV and < 1.0 beta but market exposed ETFs such as DIVO, FDL, and AUSF. Gives you market exposure but lower volatility and drawdowns than the market index. The portfolio weights only you can answer, how much market exposure can you stomach if we have a 30% market recession?
Dividend etfs work for me, stocks like FDL, FDVV, SCHD + Vanguard etfs, they provide the most growth for the least risk, in my opinion
you are down -62% in high dividend ETFs? Please share your tickers with me. I am skeptical. Unless these ETFs held a majority of META, or ARKK (which would surprise me). [https://www.investopedia.com/articles/etfs/top-etfs/](https://www.investopedia.com/articles/etfs/top-etfs/) All high dividend ETFs mentioned on Investopedia are now YTD green. I did say GREEN. $HDV $FDL, up +2% or +3%
> If it isn't laced it's full of unhealthy chemicals and heavy metals. If you're having that much of an issue with it, some significant population of smokers in your area want those additives. The black market adapts faster than any business on the planet and ultimately drugs are a business, illicit or not. As for unhealthy stuff in general, look at the USDA & FDA. They regulate the living hell out of our meat and produce, and I'm glad they do. Still, listeria, e.Coli, and Salmonella outbreaks happen every single year in meat, vegetables, dairy and eggs. Rat shit, aka "*excreta*" still makes it into the grain, fruit, vegetable and spice supply. Check out the [FDA's FDL Handbook](https://www.fda.gov/food/ingredients-additives-gras-packaging-guidance-documents-regulatory-information/food-defect-levels-handbook) if you want some fun bedtime reading. How much rodent poop in allowed in popcorn? How much mold is too much mold on a shipment of fruit? How many [thrips](https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=thrip) per 100 grams of canned asparagus? Spoiler: >!40!< Every can of sweet corn comes with a 1 in 12 chance to win a free insect larvae 3 millimeters or more in length. Talk about a bargain! Regulation is an improvement, to be certain. Ask the Chinese wealthy enough to choose US or Chinese meat which they prefer. But it's not a panacea. We have PFAS (forever chemicals) in our water, lead pipes still in use all over the place, and micro plastics in glacier water at the poles. There's a million ways to absorb things that are terrible for us. I don't think pot requires any more strict controls than other commodities like corn or cocoa beans (>!10mg excreta per pound is acceptable, and up to 4% of beans infested with insects!<). Sweet dreams.
SPYD- dividends growth stock, FDL too
I am a trader, not a fundamental investor. You need to do fundamental analysis before investing the ETFs I mention. MORT AMZA IEIH FDL No guarantee they are great forever, but I used them in the past, got nice dividends. Now I am full cash, waiting for opportunity to buy them at discount price.
whats FDL and ETFs? stock virgin here
2 shares or 2 companies? If you are looking shares, FDL is a dividend ETF that's a good way to start small.
Zero volatility. FDL & KBWD Spiritual_Extreme got me hip to Russell IWM, its small cap up 98% YTD, just buy the dips any red day
When I was new to investing I kept reading that the best investments were the stocks and ETF's that paid a higher dividend yield so I invested in these ETF's that had a dividend yield about 2% higher than a total stock market fund. Ten years later I looked at their total return with dividends reinvested against a total stock market ETF with moderate dividends. To my shock the ETF's with a higher dividend yield did poorly. Here are my investments of shame: HDV FDL PEY SDY SPHD VYM
