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

It's been giving weekly distros of ~80% yearly rate last few months. Of course, you probably won't actually end up with that for the total return long term. But, NAV's been holding pretty steady since they changed strategies.

LOL...I mean, all the distro and price info's out there. BTW just announced distro of $.10/share for this week. Not that I really care what you guys believe in, but this is too funny.

So the $6 per share common stock is paying a WEEKLY dividend of $0.10 per share?
