I have FIVA and IDV. They've done pretty good for me so far and decent dividends as well. Another one I just picked up is GREK but I've not had it long enough to see how well it will do. It has done very well the past year though so we will see.
Doesn't IDV seem better than IDVO? Or am I missing something here?
Lots of different exposures. Look at schf for world. IDV. VIGI for income. IEUR IFL for europe and latin america and I love EWY for south Korea. Last year these indexes murdered the dow. 40-100%. I think it reflects the above sentiment that confidence is lost in US. I’m now positioned majority world and gold. The only think that will hurt this strategy, and it’s a maybe, is if a plaque dislodges from a certain artery.
Tons. You've got options like an international small cap like SCHC AVDV, or international high dividends paying like IDV or VIGI. For a lower risk like big cap S&P probably Schwabs SCHF - it's basic description: "The investment seeks to track as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the total return of the FTSE Developed ex U.S. Index. The index is comprised of large and mid capitalization companies in developed countries outside the United States, as defined by the index provider. The index defines the large and mid capitalization universe as approximately the top 90% of the eligible universe. The fund will invest at least 90% of its net assets in stocks, including depositary receipts representing securities of the index; such depositary receipts may be in the form of American Depositary Receipts, Global Depositary Receipts and European Depositary Receipts." These have done \*very\* well lately. Also look at some individual country's markets like South Korea EWY - bananas growth, protect you from a crashing dollar, and they pay dividends too.
Basically my IDV etf that I have 15% of my portfolio in.
Oh yes. Kept everything else and dropped fselx to 5% just the other day; shifted all that icing to int’l and div (IDV, FDVV, VYM). Life good.
How do you define "best non US dividend" fund? There's a lot of ways to cut that question since "best" is very subjective. If you simply want to broad non-US dividend fund - the large AUM ones that I usually look at is FNDF and IDV. There is also VYMI which is kinda like VYM but it's high-yield so it's a bit more aggressive.
First thing that sticks out to me is that AUM is a lot smaller, if you are worried about liquidity if you want to exit your position under pressure. The 1Y beta is pretty high at 0.81 which isn't necessarily bad, but something to keep an eye on. VXUS, IDEV are far less volatile, but return less. They have much higher AUM at $493150M and $19861M compared to IDMO at $902M. Personally I have IDV on my shortlist, which performs similarly to IDMO, but less volatile, larger AUM, value category is the main difference; might want to check as an option. Since much of the markets are so interconnected, most follow the same sort of pattern at the same time. It's more a matter of finding the best performing ones with acceptable risk to you.
I sold all of my VOO in December at 6050ish and I'm up a little over 18% in the IDV I bought in January with the proceeds. Can't complain. I still have absolutely no interest in US equities.
I like VYM and IDV for dividend etf’s. Also, SCHX could be an alternative to SCHB
Cashed out in December when it became clear he was actually serious about these dumb ass tariffs. Kept a little BTC that is down about 12% since then. Beginning of April when it became clear the entire world is playing Trump like a fiddle I bought into IDV. Up about 8% on that so far and it will probably end up being my base holding going forward because the US is cooked.
Put 70% of mine into IDV. International Dividend etf. Its chillin

Well, it is a slow process of learning over many years from many sources. It isn't something you can just learn through messaging. First, you have to save up initial seed money to open an investment account. I recommend that you open your first account with Schwab. In a few years, open a second investment account so that you don't have all of your money invested in only one location. Schwab is stable, they have training resources, they have great analysis, and they have excellent research resources. I always advise people to start by investing in the SPY ETF (S&P 500). It is a fund of all the stocks that make up the S&P 500. That is like owning a part of the entire stock market. The first goal is to get 10 shares of SPY, even if it is just one share at a time. Plan to hild thos shares for at least 5 years. That forms a great foundation. While accumulating that investment, conduct research and learn about other individual stocks, up to ten, in preparation for your next purchase. Right now, the best bets are for growth tech stocks like Nvidia, Broadcom, Microsoft, Apple, and Amazon. They are all strong companies which will likely continue to grow for many years. There are others, but that is a good starting list. Don't gamble at first on volatile stocks being touted by the media. Pick one stock and focus on building up a few shares of that. Then start buying shares in another company. The second tier is to also purchase some stable dividend stocks like Altria (MO), One Main Financial (OMF), iShares International Select Dividend (IDV), Enterprise Products (EPD) and DOW. Again, there are others, but that is a good starting list. As you accumulate dividends, use them to buy more stock. Keep injecting new money into your account every month or week and accumulating more of the same stock. Slowly expand into other stocks over time until you own a dozen or so. That's diversification, which limits your risk. Work on accumulating those groups for the next 3 years. In the meantime, keep visiting sites like this to read what others are doing. Read articles from Schwab, in your account, and every week read other materials and articles from investing sites. Just run searches on the companies I have listed and learn about them. In that process you will also learn about other important companies. Schwab will have links to daily news articles. Invest in an account with The Wall Street Journal and read it every few days or every day. Schwab rates various companies. Only invest in highly rated companies, like ratings A, B, or C. Keep a notebook for ghost investing. That's where you pretend that you have a lot more money and you write down entries as if you invested in certain stocks at a specific moment (date and time) at a specific price. Then you follow it. If you become concerned about a particular stock, then sell out, note it, and then reinvest in another company. Track your losses and gains. As you do that, you will learn lessons without losing actual money. It is a great investment exercise. You can do that over a number of years and hone your skills. As you get better at it, then use your skills with real money. When you put in an order to buy or sell, put in a limit order, not a market order. Look up the technique and learn about it. Don't worry so much about what the stock will do in the next hours or days. Only be concerned about what it may do it over the next few months. That's a pretty good template you can follow for at least the next 3 years that will get you going.

> advice on how to not lose my money Have you considered speaking with a financial advisor? Ideally a fees-based one, rather than tied to some product range. This isn't financial advice but if I was you I would probably a) have a blob of cash for emergencies, say 10-20k b) another 20k rainy day fund, something like i-bonds offer 7%+ and are run by the US treasury https://www.treasurydirect.gov/indiv/products/prod_ibonds_glance.htm c) you said you want dividends, so I would probably just put everything into a single broad dividend fund for an easy life rather than picking stocks. Mainly for peace of mind - you don't need to follow the news, figure out how to rebalance it etc. The market is a bit 'toppy' by a range of metrics just now so paying in 1/12 of your money every month for 12 months might be the way to go there. maybe: VDIGX or VYM or NOBL or IDV or something d) well done you are pretty much winning at life as far as finances go. Just stop YOLOing. You already won the game. The only thing that can make you lose the game at this point, is you. There are some other dividend ETFs here, including global dividends. Probably a good idea to think about that. https://etfdb.com/etfs/investment-style/dividend-etfs/ e) some people will say 'don't focus on dividends'. they might be right, might be wrong. truth is that getting a dividend in every few months gives a lot of peace of mind about paying the bills without needing to worry about where the market's at and timing a sale
if you're seeking dividends why not go with Icahn Entreprises, which has a 14% yield? Or Kinder-Morgan at 5.5%? Chimera Investment Corp has a 12% yield, Vodaphone's at almost 6%. among tobacco companes Imperial Brands is over 8%. there are a lot of high dividend stocks. but unless your investment portfolio is in the quarter million to half a million range, I would not put $30k in one single stock. even then I wouldn't want too much tied up in a single company. there's an old guideline that you should keep single stocks to no more than 10-15% of the overall portfolio. it's just too risky. look at more diversified options like SCHD, HDV, SPYD, DJD, DIV ... foreign options include SDIV, YYMI, FIDI, IDV, DYVE...
My long term ETFs are: VYM, NOBL,IDV and VWO.
Dividends in a taxable account isnt a good plan, but there are already enough people in this thread who will talk to you on that topic. If you want two funds, an important thing to remember is to check overlap. If ABC invests in apples, bananas, and carrots and CBA invests in carrots bananas and apples, then holding both ABC and CBA is not actually diversifying you. $SCHD already covers most anything dividind related, so the only way to avoid overlap is to go international. ..... $IDV $HDEF $IDHD $DOL and so on Honorable mention though to $REGL and my own personal favorite $NOBL that dont have much overlap with $SCHD
I didn’t sell today. Added to some positions(VYM, IDV and O).
Added to O, IDV, and VYM today. These are buy and holds forever. I don’t know why people say not to buy on red days.
For a set and forget first retirement account? VTI/SPY, BND/BNDX, VNQ, IDV. Mix % of each based on risk tolerance. 70/10/10/10 aint a bad place to start for under 30 crowd.
Yeah, I agree. The earnings event may be a non-event, even in terms of volatility. If it is, I won't play. It is fairly volatile today. IDV is at 0.0648 for the Friday 118 call and 0.06503 for the 117 Put, compared to last Friday's 11:45 PST value of 0.0580 and 0.05764 respectively. But, still, if I don't see 0.08+ I am not playing.
I DCA every week. However the last few weeks, JNJ, VWO and IDV have been in the red for me, so I’ve been buying up shares. That’s how I DCA. I invest a certain amount weekly, and sometimes I just get funds/companies on sale
There is seldom a breach in P/C parity except on stocks where the short borrow rate is sky high (because you can't do arbitrage when that is true). And you almost never see P/C parity breach in the options for big index etfs, but you see mild cases from time to time. Just last week when the VIX was climbing at the same time that SPY was rising slightly, partly in anticipation of the FRS announcement, then after, partly in reaction to it, OTM Put IDV was higher than ITM Call IDV for some strikes. My data show nothing unusual just before market close on Friday, March 27, 2020, although I was not tracking the April 3 expiry, I was tracking the March 27 (7 days) and April 17, 28 days. And I only track at the money. Anyway, for example, at 3:48:13 the 28-day 232 Call had a daily IDV of 0.030998 and the 231 Put had a daily IDV of 0.031505. At 3:48:11 the 232 Call had a DIDV of 0.043592 and the 231 Put, 0.043674. [Note that this is daily, not annual, IDV]. Although those are a little on the high side (but then this was March 2020) but are otherwise normal. My algos only grab data every 15 minutes (for this purpose) and only for three expiries (two back then), so it is possible that it got a little flaky for a short period of time - but I see nothing in my data that shows that. You didn't say what your data source is but you can get mistakes in data from time to time, so that may also be the culprit. Except on a very wild day, you don't really expect a breach in P/C parity in these big liquid etfs - they are traded by too many machine-trading firms and are easy to arbitrage, so I would be suspicious of any data that shows a large long-lasting (more than a few seconds) breach. I find IBKR streaming data to be very good. I capture the front four VIX front contracts, bid, ask, volume, OI, plus the index plus SPX every minute and I have a data cleanser that looks for bad data and going back for six months there was a single observation that was a Nan in all that data.
Compare your 5 year dividend ETF yield to the 5 year QQQ yield. IDV went up 7%, QQQ went up 220%. I’m no advisor, but from what I’ve seen dividend funds are like bonds; people put their money in them during bear markets because they have guaranteed returns on the dividends.
I did too get the put/call parity statement right. P/C parity implies that IV should be the same for a put and call at the same strike. If, instead, the Put IV is higher than the Call IV, a common occurrence for stocks that are very heavily hedged IFF the stock is heavily shorted already and short borrow rates are sky high, like HOOD right now as I type this, [Nov 19 2:55:30 NYT Strike 34, Call IDV 0.01585, Put IDV: 0.04241 - both daily (not annual) IV, short borrow rate at IBKR: 126.88%], the certainly something is mispriced, and because we know this is hedge activity, given the Put IV, it is almost certainly the Put - it IS the Put of course. That does not imply that the Call is underpriced - it is logically possible that the call is properly priced or even slightly overpriced. BUT in the context of OP's question, given the results of the Goldman Sachs research, if calls were underpriced (which has to be true for the research results), if you assume p/c parity, then puts are overpriced (again, relative to their risk). It is logically possible for both to be underpriced but it would be extremely difficult to explain in any valid theory of options pricing. High IV Puts CAN be explained in any theory of options pricing, I have been explaining them for a very long time, and such an explanation justifies, up to a point, the high popularity of put writing strategy in bull markets - which worked well in the very same years that I cited for the GS call strategy. The modelled explanation for WHY we can conclude that there was a mismatch in valuation (Puts high/ Calls low) at a time when parity was observed is quite easy to develop. But I think I will let all of the critics do the research first.
I am VTI, BND, BNDX, VNQ, IDV. I started with VTI and BND when I had a fsirly low balance.
look at ETFs that specialize in high dividend stocks. HDV, IDV, DIV etc
One thing I wish I had done was put my aggressive assets like stock picks and such in my ROTH IRA. A decade of bull market and now I'm facing so much in LT capital gains where it would have been tax free if it were in my roth. Crypto is a fringe asset with uncertain long term prospects for individual coins. The tech is here to stay but the coins themselves may change over time. Its a highly speculative asset with huge potential for gain or loss. Though I wouldn't have more than .5% of my net worth in it I'd rather have any potential appreciation within an IRA as opposed to IDV.
If you want to keep VOO as a core position could offset that with some international options that are more focused on under-valued stocks. things like IVLU, IDV, GVAL, FIDI, FNDF ...
In general no. I have an evolving market theory which factor in most inputs as a variable rather than a rule. It also sets in some baseline assumptions. To simplify - if your objective is to receive income through the various methods say we take iShares International Select Dividend ETF(IDV) I’ll run IDV’s 0.29 standard deviation and 5.6% yield in my model and see what are my best options. To the extreme, it could be a pure growth equities play that gives me a better number. Remember that your objective is income, income can be derived through profit taking in any stock. Not just the usual dividend play, options writing etc.
Obviously, buy dividend paying stocks. But they're not all created equal. IMHO: - your safest bet is a dividend fund or ETF like SCHD or HDV. these are higher-paying dividend stocks, from larger established blue-chip companies. you can get a 3-4% dividend. these stocks won't shoot up like meme stocks, but they will have modest capital appreciation over time. SCHD: https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/SCHD or HDV: https://www.ishares.com/us/literature/fact-sheet/hdv-ishares-core-high-dividend-etf-fund-fact-sheet-en-us.pdf - next safest bet is single stocks from these types of American companies. look up "dividend aristocrats", companies that have never lowered or missed a dividend for decades or even centuries. the sweet spot seems to be stocks with high *yield* but low *payout ratio*. this means the dividend is larger relative to share price, but they pay out a lower percentage of profits, because they still devote a lot of money to expansion or research/development. aristocrats: https://money.usnews.com/investing/stock-market-news/articles/dividend-stocks-aristocrats high yield/low dividend, see page 13: http://csinvesting.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/high-dividends-research-by-tweedy-browne.pdf - US REITs are also pretty safe (but not foolproof, as the Covid lockdown proved). these are real estate investment trusts, rental properties of some type or another that pay out a lot of their income to investors. VQN pays about 2%. https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/VNQ - next safest best is dividend stocks/ETFs from larger foreign blue chip companies in developed markets. IDV is an example for an ETF. Japan, Western Europe and UK commonwealth nations are relatively stable and will often pay a bit more than US stocks. Rio Tinto mining pays 4-5% https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/RIO and Legal & General, a large old UK insurance company, pays 5-6% dividend. https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/LGGNY?p=LGGNY&.tsrc=fin-srch - next best is something like DIV, which is very high yield US stocks in the 5% range. these are from smaller companies, or distressed companies that have raised their dividend to attract investors. this pays higher dividend than SCHD, but the companies are often lower quality and the share price is more likely to flatline for years. https://www.globalxetfs.com/funds/div/ - last option is emerging markets dividends. this is the highest dividends but also highest risk, due to currency fluctuations and political risks. look at something like SDIV or DYYE. for an example, Sperbank from Russia pays a very high dividend, presently 5/6% but historically up to 8-10%. the risk is it's a Russian state-owned enterprise. ditto for China or Turkey. DVYE: https://www.ishares.com/us/products/239526/ishares-emerging-markets-dividend-etf or SDV: https://www.globalxetfs.com/funds/sdiv/
Have any index suggestions? I'm currently invested into ETF's as well (IDV). I want to invest into TAN or ICLN (energy ETF's) as well, but I'm still researching which one I should invest in.
>Also invest into index funds instead of individual stocks for as long you don't know what you're doing. Will look into Index funds, do you have any suggestions? Should've mentioned that I also invest in ETF's. So far I'm invested in: IDV, AAPL, NIO, CMCSA, KO. I have DRIP turned on, and I have recurring investments set up for Apple, IDV, and Coke.
You can just google “IDV holdings” and it pulls up a lot of options. etf.com has a nice pie chart of the countries/sectors/individual companies. Which sounds like what you’re looking for.
From my understanding IDV tracks high dividend paying companies outside the U.S. How do I view what companies are being held, as well as what type of companies are being held by the ETF?
Never suggested that it would. The SPY trackers, of which there are many looking for different things (basically a statistical soup), are not specifically looking for a breach in put/call parity, but will spot it if it is there, at least at the money or near the money. My skew-tracking model, which would spot it all along the chain if it was there, is not enabled. I have too much trouble getting quick instant-snapshot B/A data for strikes away from the money - there will nearly always be a Nan or two in there somewhere. That model does not accept a "single price" estimator for IDV for both the call and put like most online do (at least those that I have seen). It calculates IDV for both legs along the relevant range of the chain. SPY and every other thing that I track does statistically drift away from pure Put/Call parity on certain volatile days. In fact this morning at market open, some calls were running at about 0.009 and puts at 0.010, and that is technically a break in put/call parity. It is easily explained by the current heavy use of puts as hedges in a troubled market. I used to hedge that way, but it was too expensive so I switched to VXM. I think what you mean to say is that you will not see anomolous (extreme) breaches, which is what I was describing with GME, and I agree with that.
>such as Put IDV at 0.08748 and Call IDV 0.07048 on Friday, April 9 - but this is often seen in tech stocks and is usually explained by heavy hedging of long positions How common is it in specialty retail stocks?
If 1 share of IDV is owned ($33.19) and the div/yield is 5.46 is that about the dollar amount that’s going to be received come time dividend payout?
I didn't say that I was "surprised that put volatility is higher." I said the opposite: ".. "There was some asymmetry - put IDV typically higher than calls ... but this is often seen in tech stocks and is usually explained by heavy hedging of long positions." And GME rising or dropping 15% in two days is actually typical and happens nearly every week at least once. And I have been tracking it for months. I don't have one data point, I have hundreds. This was an anomoly. What is surprising is the extreme degree of the asymmetry - I track IV, the Greeks etc on lots of stuff every day, and I have traded for decades literally and I can't recall such asymmetry, except possibly in times of extreme panic (and I have been through a few of those, 1987, 2000, 2001, 2008, and last March). And it wasn't just one data point. It lasted for nearly two hours and was confirmed again and again. I also noticed that none of the contributors here who play GME options or are pro option traders are surprised by this. Read the comment by u/guysittingsomewhere. He is skeptical, but he is not really questioning the observation.
No, because this is not happening in other things I track, such as DIA, SPY and a variety of stocks. All of them favor Puts on days like this (for example SPY ATM Jul 16 strangle, Call IDV 0.008925, Put IDV 0.009762 (and the May 14 and Jun 11 strangles at parity, all at 1:01 ET)), but nothing like this. B/A spreads are fairly wide ATM and these are being pegged at 50%, but that has been the approach all along. And I am not using "Last" (data source is IBKR instant snapshot, no real latency).
What stocks do IDV track? I want to research the companies that make up IDV, but I’m not too sure how to find em.
I estimate historical daily (not annual) volatility as the standard devation of the log growth rate for X amount of time ... in the case of GME it was measured for a one year period before the craziness began, using OHLC daily data from 1/14.2020 to 1/12/2021. That measure equaled 0.07126, a very high number (SPY recently has been at about 0.009). 10 sigma would imply a daily IDV measure from a brute-forced inverted option model that would be at least 10 times this value, or around 0.7X. Compared to the historical period, GME was on some days producing 20 sigma, or a value considerably higher than 1.0 (which is why my models were failing - they begin their convergence just inside 1.0). Now of the GME log growth rate distribution was truly "normal" then this measure of 10 sigma would be statistically possible. But everyone knows that these distributions are kind of "close to normal" but with severe kurtosis, which we all call "fat tails." [My models strip out the kurtosis with filters to get "quiet-day volatility" and those distributions for liquid stocks often actually survive a 95% Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for normality]. So when I refer to 10-sigma, it merely means a tail measure that is so large it equals 10 times the historical standard deviation, however measured. I trade earnings strangles extensively and take these historical measures for mulitple stocks (about 100) throughout the year. Active stocks like NVDA and NFLX will often have 6 or 8 sigma moves (which pays off a strangle in a very big way). But I have never seen a single stock with such huge extrensic value in premiums as GME. Even as late as last week, the calls and puts at the money of the March 19 expiry would running at around 0.20 even on relatively calm days. That's 3 sigma as measured against an already sky-high HDV. As I said in the comment, even by these standards 60 sigma is impossible, let alone the 399 sigma that OP was asking about.
