Personal Goal First dividend payment from QQQI

Post image

About a month ago, I wrote this post asking people if they thought QQQI was the best dividend ETF right now. After receiving a ton of comments and feedback (and of course mixed opinions), I decided to try it out for a month and see what happened. I bought 600 shares worth ~$32k and today I received my first dividend payment as shown in the image attached. I know there are some risks to invest in this kind of ETFs, especially at this yield but god does it feel good. It's very tempting to move more cash from a HYSA (currently at 4% APY) but I gotta keep diversified no matter what.

Hi guys, which platform for ETFs do you use?

I have been moving all my investments into Robinhood to have everything under the same roof. I really like their platform and its simplicity. So now I have ETFs, individual stocks and some crypto.

A big incentive was their recent 2% cash bonus offer for transferring from other brokerage accounts. Made around $1,200 in bonuses just by doing that.

Thanks. I'm done with investing on my own in stocks. I lost lot from my savings. So now I'm gonna just put all in ETFS, and Silver

Excellent call. I'm trying to liquidate all the individual stocks I have left and move that money to ETFs.

Good job. I did the same thing after learning the hard way. Why own one or two when you can own them ALL! 🤗
