Some dividend payer ideas, some timely and a few not timely. You could use ETFs to get more diversification. Sectors out of favor today are Tobacco and most financials. MDLZ just reported great earnings and AVGO is my core Tech dividend payer. GL

DP. I am ashamed to admit I have MO and PM. I'm such a hypocrite because I hate cigarettes, but those dividend yields are great. If you don't have a problem with sin stocks, take a look at VICI and IIPR. Funny enough PP, I also have XOM, DVN, ENB and PXD. DVN has been a dog with poor management, and I would not advise purchasing that now. I chose ABBV and GILD over AMGN. Key and NYCB over HBAN. I wish I had DUK because I got slaughtered with NEP. Love, love AVGO for growth, but the yield is low. I wish AVGO stock would split. It ran up so damn fast. SPG and O are good stocks to take a look at OP. If all else fails, take a good look at JEPQ and JEPI.

I won't buy MO and PM (many smoking relatives who died of lung cancer) but I do have IIPR because I don't really think of cannabis/cannabis adjacent as sin stocks I guess. Or at least not sins that bother me.

I’m in on JEPI because I don’t think the market is going to move much for a while, but you have to balance that out with growth stocks/funds since the upside is muted.

JEPI and JEPQ are not for growth. Those are pure dividend actively managed fund ETFs. The yields have been much better than SCHD, but also riskier due to the options.

Our portfolio is/has been comprised of growth stocks for the last 30 years, and now that I am looking to possibly retire early (I'm 52 and DW is 49) in the net year or so, I am looking to transition our a portion of investment holdings to also include a somewhat significant share of dividends. Our investment portfolio is currently at ~$4.3m mostly in individual holdings and some ETFs. Ideally we would like to have the dividends provide at least in the range of $50k-75k of income per year, thereby allowing us to avoid having to draw down too much on the principle investments (all significant LT capital gains). We've done all of this ourselves to date, and have not used a financial advisor - I've been leery of paying someone a %of my assets for things that I can do pretty reasonably myself (and we've been pretty successful all things considered).

I would defer drawing on the pension for another 10-13 years - and which currently stands at about $3m (and would continue to grow on investment allocation but w/o any additional contributions once I retire and before I draw on it).

Grateful for any advice folks here might have. Thanks!

If you can liquidate $1M, start buying 30 year treasuries. They were yielding 4.7% today and were yielding 5.1% mid-week, last week. Let's say you invest $1M into them at an average yield of 5%, that's 50K and you don't have to worry about losing capital. Best case scenario, rates fall to 2% or below and your bond value skyrockets. Worst case scenario, rates go up from here, maybe double or triple, but you keep getting your 5% a year. When 30 years are up (you guys will be 82/79), you get to collect the $1M. No stock on earth can guarantee that. Talk to a financial advisor to figure out how to implement this.

What's your current income? Monthly expenses? Also, how did you derive the $3M value for your pension?

I'm one of the PPs and I've been doing this too. Not with a million though .

It will be hard to go from growth to dividend being so young, but slowly. Any growth left in the growth stocks or you'd need a faster horse?
Mo was the first stock that came to my mind. I would do some of the top dividend aristocrats and done.
More than collecting dividend, work on your tax strategy.

BAD ETF

[Anonymous]

Hey OP, thanks for asking this. I'm an earlier PP, and I didn't think I wanted to buy any more dividend stocks, but your question made me look at my watchlist and I decided ARC really was an opportune moment to buy some more and it's up 4% today ( I wasn't buying it for the growth, it has a 7.55% yield--it's one of my riskier buys, but less risky after a bad earnings report which has reasonable explanations in my view but made the price go down).

GILD

Bank of America

I inherited some VZ and have been watching it tank for years, but at least it pays dividends?

I like foreign telecom companies. Americamovil. Africa would be a good place to look.

Or just get a high dividend ETF.

Long PBR for some years. I don't recommend it, it is a state run oil/gas firm. Not run for shareholders, buyer beware.

Dividends are for people who don't understand stocks. Just keep this in mind.

This is not helpful to OP if you don't explain why.

"Dividend Aristocrats are companies that are part of the S&P 500 and have increased their dividends in each of the past 25 years. Firms in this list have been able to grow their dividends through many different economic environments and through significant periods of recession."

https://www.nasdaq.com/stocks/investing-lists/dividend-aristocrats

A fine part of any financial plan and an excellent place for predictable cash flow beyond bonds.

"Qualified dividends are taxed at 0%, 15%, or 20%, depending on your income level and tax filing status. Ordinary (nonqualified) dividends and taxable distributions are taxed at your marginal income tax rate, which is determined by your taxable earnings."

Do your research, have a disciplined plan, and don't let anyone tell you a particular investment is not good and that you are not smart enough to understand it.

Unless it is an annuity.
