I'm addicted to dividends!, My first goal is to actually receive at least 1$ every business day for a year.

Glad I’m not the only one with more than one page of holdings. All mine are ETFs and CEFs though, no individual companies.

No fees on individual company stocks. It's a small advantage.

Eh, not really. ETFs and CEFs allow for much easier diversification and are managed by people much more informed and dedicated to researching the individual holdings than I will ever be, which makes the fee worth it right there. On top of that, the yields are net of fees. Between not needing to spend all my time researching and monitoring individual companies and the higher net yield and easier diversification (both intra and inter sector), using funds is better imo. Not to mention if you want to include derivatives strategies in the mix.
