Why dividend.ETFs? As I've said beopre
quote:

Spending dividends is drawing down your capital. It is literally the company returning capital to the investors (on their timeline not yours). Problem is in 25+ years you are much more likely to have a significantly smaller accumulated nest egg if investing in dividend stocks. Think about it like this, do you want to invest your capital in companies that use their earnings to expand or those that see limited growth opportunities so they return capital to investors to do what they will?

SCHD is a great dividend ETF but as far as Schwab goes, SCHG is tough to beat.

I make recurring purchases in SCHD but I'm not qualified to say if it's the best. It's a good one though.

VIG is another good one that was mentioned. It depends on what you're trying to accomplish. SCHD has less exposure to tech than VIG. If you're invested into other index funds you might be already exposed to the tech concentration risk.

From Gemini fwiw

Index and strategy: SCHD tracks the Dow Jones U.S. Dividend 100 Index, screening for cash-flow-to-debt, ROE, and yield. VIG tracks the S&P U.S. Dividend Growers Index, requiring 10 consecutive years of dividend increases while excluding the highest-yielding quartile.

Sector Tilt: SCHD leans more toward value and mature cash generators. VIG includes a heavier allocation to tech and growth compounders like Microsoft and Apple.

Dividend growth isn’t terrible but avoid high dividend etfs. Plenty of places to get interest right now, invest for stocks in the best compounders.

Well, I have a position in BITA which BlackRock predicts will return an annual distribution rate between 15% to 25% by selling covered calls on 25% to 35% of its Bitcoin holdings every month. The remainder of the the position (approximately 70% on average every month) tracks Bitcoin exactly like it's IBIT Bitcoin spot ETF.

So far BITA, which was made available 3 months ago, has a trailing monthly distribution payout of 13.71% which is below the predicted range, but BITA has also appreciated this year 17.77% on top of paying 3 monthly distributions to date on track to average an annualized return of 13.71%.

I still believe in Bitcoin's 4 year cycle although it is muted With that said, Bitcoin should be in its transition toward a recovery and pre-halving accumulation/rally setup leading into late 2026 and 2027, ahead of the next expected halving around April 2028. It will not be in a straight line since Bitcoin is still a volatile asset (although not as volatile as prior years).

So in theory BITA will track Bitcoin's price at 70%, and will pay a nice monthly distribution. So far so good. However, I don't recommend it to others unless they believe in Bitcoin as a good asset to be invested in plus they want monthly distribution via covered calls.
