When you say "dividend income", do you mean dividend stocks or moving part of your portfolio to bonds? If dividends stocks, I'd stay they are irrelevant. You can sell your stock shares to the same effect. Now if you want to get into bonds (which might be a good idea as you get closer to retirement), you need to 1) Stop reinvesting dividends and buy bonds (BND, IGIB etc) 2) Sell a portion of your portfolio now and move to bonds 3) I'm sure you have a 401k/IRA... move that to bonds. This is a non tax event, as you know.
Schwab and State Street US dividend ETFs, SCHD and SPYD both have about a 4% yield and relatively stable price action and are well diversified. On the bond side something like AGG or IGIB for investment grade exposure would get you what you want. Something like PDI would be a bit more aggressive but higher yielding. You could stack a couple different bond etfs with treasury, investment grade, high yield exposure and have a pretty diversified portfolio yielding you >4%
You're smart to prioritize safety and preservation in this market! Your current strategy is a good starting point, but we can refine it. Here's what I'd consider : 1-Re-evaluate SGOV Allocation: While SGOV offers a decent 4.2% return, consider diversifying a portion into short-term corporate bond ETFs like VCSH or IGIB for potentially higher yields with relatively low risk. 2- Add Inflation Protection: With your focus on preservation, consider adding inflation-protected securities like TIPS (Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities) through ETFs like TIP or SCHP. 3- Review ETF Overlap: Your current ETF selection has some overlap, particularly in the US large-cap and dividend space. Streamline your holdings to avoid overexposure to specific sectors or factors. 4- Maintain Cash Position: Given your preference for safety and potential market volatility, maintaining a significant cash position is wise

I am in my late 20s and this is my roth ira portfolio (long term); 70/30 split with stocks/bonds VOO VEA VYM VB VWO VO IGIB IAGG VTIP I am considering removing vtip and replacing it with vnq, between treasury and corporate intermediate (IGIB vs SCHR) and also rebalance the whole account. Any thoughts on ETF picks and/or new additions?
Just looking at them from a technical analysis perspective: EMB: RSI's overbought, so is likely to go down / sideways in the near future HDV: Looking like it'll go sideways IGIB & IUSB: Looks like they both have a bit more room to go up before they correct SHY: Could go any which way -- currently has upward price momentum working in its favor, but its future is by no means certain
You can do JPST. I do IGSB, IGIB, IGLB bc I’m happy w that risk/risk, I need some yield. The rest can be thrown into QQQ and sit back and watch your account grow.
