Stock price when the opinion was issued
A basket of US dividend stocks, fairly cheap MER. At first glance, some of the names look quite fine. On the right track with the high dividend strategy. Comparing this one to the S&P, this ETF is more diversified away from tech.
He doesn't own this, not because he doesn't like it, but there are so many ETFs to choose from. So he's not intensely familiar with this one.
Based on the DJIA 100 dividend index. Names like ABBV, KO, AMGN, BMY. Higher-dividend names. Composition looks good, has performed well. Nothing against it. MER is 6 bps. Yield is 3.9%.
He prefers VIG slightly more, as increasing dividends is important especially if inflation moves higher.
