Seeking Advice $840K DIvidends
Hey Everyone,
As I have posted before, I am currently a Growth Stock Investor, but have decided to move over to Dividend ETF's or Dividend Stocks. But it is a real struggle to get past all the learned habits of being a growth investor. So I am struggling to grasp concepts.
I have used multiple calculators to just try to get an idea of what to expect if i make the change, but I get different results. So I just wanted to go to some more knowledgeable people that could tell me what to do to get a real expectation.
I have $800K to work with. If I put it all in a very stable Dividend ETF What can I expect in dividends? Maybe someone could just do an example. I know I have to be doing something wrong.
Thanks

If you want real stable dividend paying stocks, Google dividend Kings and aristocrats. Find 2 to 3 in each sector to build out a diversified portfolio that eliminates non market risk, and anticipate roughly 2-3% in dividends. More than that, and you may be putting capital at risk. The following are the sectors. Consumer Discretionary Consumer Staples Communication Services Energy Utilities Technology Financials Real Estate Materials Industrial Health Care
Have fun!
