@moneyprincess you will pay taxes, and you will get less returns. $BATS is a good stock for example. You can look at dividend aristocrats, but like I said anything with a high yield isn’t that good. Especially if there is no growth in price and they have a high payout ratio and/or bad balance sheet. You can do a portfolio backtest of $VZ and compare it to a stock with a mediocre “yield”.
