EGGY is the closest thing to what I have been looking for. The downside protection and options income is superb. Will it really be safe in a crash? Who knows. Otherwise, I like how IDVO and QDVO are setup.
I’m buying a basket of ETFs: SPMO VOO VXUS SCHD IDVO QDVO
Check out funds from Amplify: QDVO is well structured and I find it to be well paired with IDVO.
Honestly, why not have a mix of both? I have both SPY and QQQ based etfs as well as a sizable SPYI, QQQI, IAUI, BTCI, and IDVO dividend portfolio. The main draw for me on dividends is that my career path is fairly unstable and I can just turn off DRIP on my dividend stocks to help support income in the case of job loss instead of selling shares at a possible loss.
Weren't you the one that brought up the 1950s. You are the one bringing up the past. I'm about 15% international myself. I don't own vxus. I have vymi and Shld. Shld etf is 45% international. And i think IDMO and IDVO both look interesting. I do not hate international. Get it through your head. Im not saying US will outperform every year. I never said the US outperformed every country. I was talking about stop fear mongering about the lost decade for US stocks when international was almost 2 decades lost. VGTSX international fund also fell during the dotcom. It was -15% in 2000, -20% in 2001, -15% in 2002, and -44% in 2007. But, people act like that didn't happen. Spy was -9% in 2000, -11% in 2001, -21% in 2002, and -36% in 2008.
IFN, the India Fund, is an interesting CEF that has a pretty long history of payouts. ILF, the iShares Latin America Fund, is paying north of 6% dividends. There is a fund for Argentina, but it is, I believe 20% Mercado Libre. Just buy the stock. I think a better diversifier is IDVO. This is the only one I would consider a core holding. The others are like spices - good in small amounts. If you want distressed and out of favor, go with DVYE, which is emerging markets dividend payers.
I'm retired and spend at least some of my dividends each month. This may or may not be appropriate for everyone, but I moved more money into IDVO and EFAA earlier this year. Been great so far. I also hold JPIB, but those are bonds. My NDIV is 1/3 outside the US as well. And, of course, there's always things like Bitcoin if you want to do that.
I actually love this approach. I’m 50’s (50) and have a kind of sketchy version of this, but it’s been something I’ve been thinking about. I def need more international, and less US. I’m a bit worried about being leveraged 15%, but I do have a very favorable margin rate. What do you get? What do you think about covered call ETFs, REIT’s, Preference Shares? My margin is significantly lower than the after tax yield PFFA and SPYI would give me, so leveraging myself with some of those would give me ‘free money’. Also IDVO gives me income and international exposure.
SCHG, SCHD, and I actually like IDVO the best for international exposure. VXUS kind of sucks because they just dump any international stock in there, whereas IDVO has more of a selection criteria. Or if you really want to be safe and diversified, get VT
If you take a few minutes to look, you can find some REALLY beaten down stuff out there in the emerging markets. Like DVYE is paying close to 12% in dividends. There are safer options paying north of 5%, and even into 6%. IDVO might even get you some growth. Stocks will often move together in a crash, so just be ready for that. If you are concerned about it, you can also hold unhedged international bonds (most bond funds are hedged to the US dollar, so be aware). You can also buy cash in foreign currencies, and gold. Each of those have different risks. There are also some good CEFs that have international exposure.
Go look at IDVO. It is the international version of DIVO, and it has performed better than SCHY and VYMI at the same time it has a substantially higher dividend payout.
Densely packed informative post here; hope OP sees it. These are lots of specific ETFs I would mention right alongside you. Looking into IDVO and HELO which I have not heard of. Good stuff!
DIVO, QDVO, IDVO, SCHD, SPYI, VYMI, O. some combination will get you to the 7% you’re looking for.
IDVO is international. DIVG/SPHD are heavy in sectors that could be considered defensive (SPHD more so). Those sectors did the best during the last big crisis (utilities, staples, etc...). It looks to me like some money is moving out of the US and in the US some is rotating into a defensive position. I get the impression that big money sees a turbulent year ahead for US stocks.
DIVG is up almost 4% and IDVO is up over 6%.
Lots of non-US ETFs. IDVO is ok if you want divs. There are many by region and individual countries.
