Moving away from growth stocks & ETFs into CDs and T Bills
I don't get this. SPY has gone up 14% in about 4 months, while SPYD (SPY ETF in euros on German exchnge) has stayed flat as seen on the second image. EURUSD has gone up 5% in 4 months, so why isn't my net return about 9%? Does it have to do with the Fund Managers not tracking SPY one to one?

Shit, today was so bad it even managed to drag SPYD down 1.2%.
Somehow SPYD still green lmao.
Owning lots of SPYD feels like being on a lifeboat.
Most stocks are up. If you had heard the call of your lord and savior SPYD you would have been saved.
That's sorta the problem. I went in XLP/XLU/SPYD/EURL/BRKB/TLT to rotate out of SOXL/AMD in the summer and now that they're all mooning (TLT has a ways to go) it's basically just... shave a little so I don't regret later. Which is to say I'm splitting between holding/cashing.
There's that too, but we've seen every time AI takes a pullback the rest of the beaten-up market moons. It's why SPYD has a better YTD than SPY.
SPYD avoids the tech part, did pick up a bunch of EURL as a hedge though.
SPYD still green. Get to safety.
As usual, SPYD is salvation.
Just holding a bunch of SPYD is awesome for this very reason.
Just buy SPYD then and stop worrying. Worst case you underperform. Best case you're where the money is gonna rotate.
u/Own-Recipe5908 SPYD, holy shit... Wasn't on my watch list. Thanks for that. Good look at corporate bond market.
I think we get the most deranged behavior from on high we've seen yet in the immediate aftermath. Not really sure there's a safe place to be. SPYD has been a good hedge against AI, at least.
Only V's today are SPYD/RSP and TLT.
Lol SPYD up over 1%. Rotation time.
SPYD/RSP. They had a bad month, could easily see +5% recovery if the AI trade fumbles, and spyd still has one div with +1.1% and goes up with RSP generally.
Remember june-july? Kospi shit, soxl dump, high beta dump, rotation rotation rotation? SPYD and SAAS outperformed. We getting part 2?
We've seen what bad AI sentiment does in june-july and on thursday. The things to hide in are: SPYD (Went up >1% thursday while SPY was down) SAAS stocks RSP TLT While getting out of anything high beta.
Eh, spy did go down on the openai news and SPYD went up over a percent. Sure, you won't be ruined holding VOO/SPY, but SPYD and RSP will be the winner medium-term.
You got a preview of what will happen when the openai news got out. Massive rotation out of AI into bonds/every other stock. Basically, if you wanna hedge against AI going bust it's SPYD/RSP/TLT.
SPYD is very rate dependent. It dropped as rates rose and rose as rates drop.
We are witnessing the end of the 1 month long SPYD and RSP bear market. Bers are ded!
Don't be late, buy the dip in SPYD.
If bonds cool off for a few days I could see another push for broadening. SPYD and RSP got beat up last month but they could have a comeback.
All the boomers got shaken out of their dividend stocks. SPYD is bottomed out and ready to bounce back.
If you want to feel something put half in either spyu or tqqq. If you want to diversify and be boring, SPYD or RSP.
Im heavily in dividend stocks due to this logic, and theyre dumping even worse than the rest of the market Dividend ETFs like SPYD are down 9% in one month, and SCHD down 6%
Dip buying is now in megacap and SOXX. Was decent bit more up on my SPYD and RSP before this month, pain is real.
Boomers got mega shaken out of their Dividend ETF, SPYD. It bounced hard off a super trend line yesterday during the dump. This bad boy is getting ready to run back up to the highs.
SCHD, RWL, and SPYD feel a little more consistent in my opinion. Still have volatility in this market.
In my younger years i did some dividend chasing not accepting that i needed to focus on growth instead. A tale as old as time. Anyway my dividend positions never surpassed my index funds but i have had some money in them 8k and 7k in SPYD and SCHD respectively. I also have recently sold 4k of SCHD that I’ve been sitting on. Im 30 and looking for quicker/slightly aggressive growth so im not scared of something like TQQQ but i was thinking maybe a step back from that like QQQ or QQQM or some sort of allocation strategy for QQQ/QQQM, TQQQ, and VTI. My question is what would you do? Consolidate out of the dividend funds? If so, what would you go into?
The funny part is that SPYD has outperformed SPY ytd even without considering the divedend.
I know this is WSB blasphemy but this volatility is why I like dividend stocks. If they're a healthy company with solid fundamentals and growth, the market being bipolar and irrational on valuation wont actually effect their ability to pay dividends and provide value. Weirdly dividend ETFs like SCHD, SPYD, HDV etc are beating the pants off of the SPY this year too. At this point it's making me nervous how high their gains are.
Yeah, started buying RSP recently, been good. SPYD is doing good too.
Yeah, SPYD has been a great investment. I wish I had put more in that and less in bonds (I try to put my gains in safer spots).
They wanna make "buy a house" money though. Well, if you wanna go with that theme SPYD's been doing great and is reasonably safe.
Dividends and capital gains are taxed at the same rate. For equivalent risk, high dividend stocks should have equivalent return (composed of higher dividend, but lower price growth) as low dividend stocks, so there's not much need to focus on dividend stocks to maintain your income. That's not to say that dividend stocks are bad. Not many stocks pay qualified dividends in the 8% range. Often in that range, you're looking at options-based funds or high yield bonds or REITs, with a higher tax rate. Again, not that they're all bad, but don't just look at the dividend yield and count that as your expected return. 4% qualified dividend yield is above average as well, but findable. SPYD has 4% yield, with about three quarters of that being qualified. 4% of the starting portfolio amount, adjusted for inflation, is commonly cited as a rule of thumb for safe withdrawal rate from a nest egg for retirement income. That's based on a retirement horizon of 30 years or so, and if you're retiring at 50, ~3.5% would be more sustainable over many decades. It's also based on starting in a bad series of market years, so if you find your portfolio has grown a significant cushion after a few years, you could ratchet up your spending.
If SPYD goes red today market is toast.
SPYD holding up even now. It's now the time of boomer stocks.
SPYD undefeated, but unsexy.
Buy SPYD and be amazed at steady gains better than SPY with a dividend on top.
When in doubt buy SPYD or BRKB.
I love SPYD this year. Goes up slow but it's up even when SPY's down because of semis, and you get a dividend.
Define well, if you just mean green, then SPYD. It's usually up when spy is, even if less, and is often up when it isn't so the chances of it going 'well' are high. It's actually done a bit better than spy this year, with a better dividend to boot.
Im injecting 80k into my holdings. Buying DRAM, SPIR, NVTS, AVAV, and SPYD in various amounts each.
Im injecting 80k into my shares portfolio at market open. Going into SPIR, DRAM, NVTS, SPYD, and AVAV.
On top of that, dividend funds tend to underperform their competition that don’t use thar selection factor, and covered call funds always underperform the underlying long term. Examples: SCHD vs SCHG, SPY vs SPYD, SPY vs SPYI, etc.
Well, if you have a strong belief that the markets are about to unravel because of a massive and irreversible energy shock SPYD offers very little protection. My positions are up ~7% since the war began, and SPYD is down ~6%. It’s not nearly defensive enough for this environment.
Just a buy and hold, Dollar Cost averaged, Dividend Reinvestment Plan position. I have SPYD a high dividend payer ETF, I keep it around because I got such a good price on it, finally broke to ATH a few weeks ago. Probably should have sold it, but EX date is like tomorrow.
I’ve been loading up on SPYD and RACE shares, with some DIS sprinkled in there too
IMO too risky to sit in cash. Around 30-40% in cash, some metals and defensive stocks is fine but not 100% cash. And not everything is expensive now. Iron miners, plantation companies are quite affordable and also pay solid dividends. For broad diversification SPYD is ok. Not an investment advice - just IMO.
Loaded up on nvda calls for 4/2 but also loaded up on RACE and SPYD shares
There are such 'safer' S&P 500 variations: RSP - Equal weight S&P 500 SPYD - Consists of S&P 500 companies with higher div yield SPYV - 'Value' companies from S&P 500
Any value or dividend focused like VTV, VYM, SPYD/SPYV, SCHD and so on.
Did you do your DD before buying in? Aside from KDP all low/no growth, so with rising costs it means compressed margins. I don't think many are buy such companies for capital appreciation. If you were buying for distributions, better to use a diversifed ETF - SCHD or even SPYD. If buying for capital appreciation just buy VOO, or for less volatility SPLV.
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%
If you aren't feeling secure, move 20% to fixed 2-5 year CD, and 20% to value fund ETF, like SPYD.
I have put for SPYD 665. Anyone think it’s gonna go down by that in the next 3 to 4 days
SPYD. That's enough to live on. For quite a while.
The concept of Acorns sounds nice but the fees are pretty bad. Especially if you only plan to invest your "change". You are better off opening up a brokerage account at Robinhood, Schwab, whatever. Robinhood has a nice UI for beginners / if you plan to just buy and hold or mess around with some options. If you don't know what to invest in, start with some ETFs /index funds. SPY, SPYD, SCHD if you like dividends
You are tilting towards Tech with the direct investments, but you have SPY and SPYD which are index funds if I am not missing anything? So they provide some sort of counterweight?
Whats the best non US dividend ETF? My strategy is to invest same amount of money each week, no matter if the market is growing or falling. Im trying to keep 10/15% on bitcoin and the rest on etf. I ve already invested in VTI and QQQ. (I ll keep on doing that) But now i want to allocate 20% of my investment to a Dividend ETF. To get that passive income that will be re invested. I dont want to buy SCHD, VYM, SPYD because they are highly correlated to US market that im already invested in (QQQ AND VTI)
There have been 3 drops in the market since 2020, i have taken advantage of. April 2025 (SP500 -23%), January 2022 (SP500 -27%), and February 2020 (SP500 -34%). My personal playbook of when to use the warchest. When SP500 drops 10% or more, I use minimum 5% of the "warchest" every trading day during the dip. I have SCHD its heavier on energy and consumer defense. SPYD its more real estate and utility driven. The ETF overlap is only 19%. I purchased the SPMO, the momentum ETF. Heard about it late last year, from a co-worker i trust. I'm up 20% YTD. So happy days. Why dividend focused? For years all I purchased was VOO, my IRA is nothing but VOO. I just wanted to diversify a little bit, honestly no real reason.
> $1,500 for $75 daily market buy of $35 VOO, the other $40 is split between SPMO, SCHB, SCHD, SCHF, and SPYD Why are you buying both VOO and SCHB, which are almost identical? Why also a momentum version of US large caps? Why are you buying both SCHD and SPYD? They have little overlap but similar ideas. Why a focus on dividends given [dividend irrelevance] (https://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/dividendirrelevance.asp)? Why no emerging markets?
PLTR if feeling wild VOO, SPY , SPYD , Berkshire if looking for safe and consistent
SCHD by June 24th to collect dividends on June 30th. Or SPYD by June 20th to collect Dividends by June 25th.
> Any advice on how to live comfortably from dividends? Sure, it's pretty simple, just invest in $SPYD, its current dividend yield is 4.49% so, for instance, if you were to invest $4,454,342.98 you'll cash in $200,000 in dividends per year. Easy, simple, no sweat.
Very easy. First pick a few top dividend paying ETFs. Example SPYD is one of them. Look at their top ten holdings. Then invest in those stocks. The top ten holdings in these funds are there because they meet strict performance criteria and are mostly responsible for the funds performance. Then select a couple stocks with the most cash and low debt on their balance sheet. Those with the most cash and low leverage can weathered an economic downtown and won’t cut their dividends. Check the dividend payment date. Companies pay divdends quarterly - so get one that pays dividends in Jan, Feb, and March. That way you’ll have dividends coming to you every month. That’s what rich old folks do so they have spending money to play with. However if you’re a young lad, it’s better to be in high growth stocks. Not dividend stocks. If you look at the top ten holdings of any Sp500 ETF or Nasdaq 100 ETF -,example SPY, VOO, IVW, or QQQ you’ll notice that they are in Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Tesla etc. Check it out. Your goal is to do better than the SP500 does every year in order to get ahead.
Does anybody else invest in SPYG and SPYD or just me?
I have SPYD which is REIT and Utility heavy. Instead of going all in on a sector fund you could do something like that.
I'm doing 80% cash, 20% SPLV, VIG, and SPYD.
Right now I got DVY SPYD BIGY EVHY Got them all at what I think of as a big discount
For those looking for safer shits SPYD and SPHD been doing pretty well. Calls 
Good God why is SPYD up in this nonsense?
I was doing a lot of SPYD for a while and I’ve seen little or no growth the past 3 years
Dividend ETFs can be useful, but whether they’re the right choice depends on what you’re looking for. If your goal is income, they provide a steady cash flow without the need to pick individual stocks. However, if you're more focused on total returns, broad-market funds like VOO will likely outperform over time, since dividend-focused investments tend to trade off some growth potential for income. If you're investing $100K into a high-dividend ETF, you’d typically see an annual dividend yield of around 3-4%, which means roughly $3,000 to $4,000 per year in dividends. Some ETFs pay quarterly, while a few, like SPYD, distribute monthly. The tradeoff is that many high-dividend stocks don’t appreciate in value as quickly as growth-oriented ones, so while you’re getting consistent payouts, you might miss out on long-term capital appreciation. Since you're in the EU and want to avoid US withholding tax, the best option would be Ireland-domiciled ETFs, which benefit from better tax treaties. Funds like Vanguard FTSE All-World High Dividend Yield (VHYL) or iShares MSCI World Quality Dividend (WQDV) could be worth looking into. They provide diversification while still offering solid yields. If you already have a mix of broad-market ETFs and higher-risk investments, dividend ETFs could serve as a nice supplement, but they shouldn’t necessarily replace your core strategy. The main question is whether you’re prioritizing income now or maximizing long-term growth. If early retirement or long-term wealth building is the goal, total return investing will likely get you there faster.
VOO, APD, NATH, PLTR, PPL, SPYD, RDY, VLY, RKLB… currently evenly distributed with about $20k total. What should I drop? Add? I’ve never actively chosen my own stocks, so I’m starting small. Any input is greatly appreciated!
People with $1-2M, why not put that shit in SPYD, and start some french fries shack in middle of nowhere called “Bendy’s Handies”  to retire peacefully. Aint nothin in cities but hoes and deceit.
And just to be clear, I cannot stress for new investors to but ETFs or mutual funds that track large indexes. Think VOO, SPY, VT, VTI, SCHB, and for our dividend friends, SCHD, SPYD. Growth? QQQ, SWLGX, VGT.

Sell it, mark my words. You’re going to regret not putting half of your winnings into a money market as BP for when shit hits the fan. Your biggest tool in investing is BP (buying power) without it you got absolutely nothing of value. You’re staring at a screen with unrealized gains, and you’re going to hate yourself when you wake up and it says zero profit. This could happen in an hour, tomorrow or before the year ends. Congratulations, but don’t miss out on better opportunities, take it from someone who’s won big and lost big. Take the profits, have at least 50% buying power in a money market for rainy days, buy some cool ETF’s (HYBL, FDVV, SPYD) these are a few cool ones. NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE\* but this is 100% what i would do if i were you, and I’ve currently been doing the same and have increased my portfolio from 5k-80k this year alone, not as big as your wins but mine are now realized gains, because im currently 80% cash in 4% yield SPAXX and 20% small caps that have me at 50-300% profit from gains and investments i made before the election. Godspeed! 
Apologies for not being clear. I meant i have shares of SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) and SPDR S&P 500 High Dividend ETF(SPYD)
This is what I started doing. Put about 100 into SPYD ETF and then added 10 bucks to my account every week and when I had enough I bought another full share of SPYD. That account has grown substantially over the last 5 years. I bumped the 10 per week to 25 per week when I started making more money and then bought into another ETF and a local energy company where I live. The whole account is over 2000 dollars worth of value now. Reinvest all dividends and just keep pumping money into it every week or month and they grow steadily. One thing I've learned is the market will always rise again after a drop.
No, didn't. Kind of didn't like the 'vibe' of the hype. Would rather put it in AAPL/GOOGL/COST/SPY/SPYD. I have an alert set for $3, I figure it is at least a $4-5 stock, but will only put a couple notes in if it does reach $3.
VTI - VOO - SMH - QQQ - SPYD is my 'self-directed' and I'm up 47.92% all time (2.5 years approx). My robo run account at Wealthfront same time frame is only up 34.65% all time and 23.38% in 2024.
>If I am correct SPY has a like a 7%-8% return all time sort of but also not really. over the long-term, several decades, a 7-8% average after adjusting for inflation is probably reasonable. but that's not a guarantee. The S&P 500 averaged about 5.5%/year from 2000 to 2020, and closer to 1%/year from 2000-2012. >Wouldn’t this be higher than the growth and TTM combined SPY has? If so why wouldn’t everyone just invest in this and get 12% dividends a year? here's what you're missing: - SPYI's 12% yield is only partly dividends. dividends are essentially a form of profit sharing, and the S&P 500 current dividend yield is about 1.3%. if you bought something like SPYD, the highest-dividend stocks in the S&P 500, the yield is about 4%. - much of the 12% yield from SPYI is due to "covered calls", which is a complicated form of options where other investors pay you money for the option to buy the stocks you hold now. - this can generate a lot of income, and it works well if stocks are steady or going up. but if the stocks go down, you can be forced to sell at a loss to the people who hold the option contract. look up what happened to QYLD a few years ago, similar strategy and it hasn't recovered from the Covid crash.
And SPYD which is the high dividend yield version of SPY and tracks, I think its, top 83 dividend paying stocks and has a higher dividend payout but at the cost of not tracking as high as SPY since its not tracking all 500 and is just under $46 a share. As others have said though, invest now and frequently if you can i.e. monthly and if you are buying ETF don't try to time it just keep buying what you can. Try to invest the same amount every month if you can then it becomes a habit.
MRNA, if you are negative, lose it. It will not go back up unless they come up with a cure for the common cold or universal influenza. Bought in March of '20, sold a bit to cover my investment, and will let it float to zero as it is all gravy. But, I don't see them reaching their previous highs in this decade. Put it in something that will grow (AAPL, COST, GOOG, VOO, DIA, ONEQ) I wouldn't touch F with a thirty foot pole, or a mile of extra wiring (the EV Truck). If you do go in on F go in at $8 and sell at $10. Sold MRK not long ago at a profit, but I held it forever so it wasn't making the grade. I think I held it for 12-14 years and got under 100% so it was out. SPYD is a dividend S&P index fund that has decent dividends if that is your goal
