Vanguard High Dividend Yield ETF

VYM tracks the FTSE High Dividend Yield Index. The index selects high-dividend-paying US companies, excluding REITS, and weights them by market cap.

VYM prices were largely trapped in a consolidation window between $110 and $120 in the past ~3 years or so. Catalysts developed recently are finally pushing it out of this multi-year trading window. The top catalysts are the updated probability of interest rate cut(s) and the change in market sentiment.

Dividends don't matter in the accumulation stage or in retirement; total return and risk level are what determine portfolio success, in my view.

Dividend metrics and strategies, such as dividend growth stocks and dividend-focused ETFs, have recently underperformed the market.

The Dividends Don't Matter

Dividends are powerful for retirees as they can deliver regular income without your having to sell shares. They're powerful for any of us, really -- as that regular income can be used to buy more stock.
