Now that's what I call a promotional post for ETFs. Nevertheless, I personally prefer to choose dividend stocks myself with better returns and without TER.

@BamBamInvest For many people (especially beginners), ETFs are a good way to get started on the stock market. Those who then decide on a strategy (e.g. my dividend strategy) are usually better off with individual investments. However, it is also more work (... and fun)

@ThomasHH I am aware of that, the post is also aimed more at those people who are looking for their entry into the stock market and dividend ETFs and do not want to constantly monitor companies or like to have it easy. Rather as an incentive and to make searching easier. ☺️Lg

@ThomasHH Where did you get the idea that you are usually better off with individual investments?
>70% of all investors do not beat their benchmark index in a given year.
The longer the period, the fewer beat the index. I am not aware that dividend stocks are an exception. Why should it be any different there?

@PowerWordChill In my opinion, it is also very difficult with dividend ETFs, as you rightly say, and many do not beat the benchmark index because many people usually associate a high dividend with a good entry point. Many people don't consider that this might not be the case or that the dividend might not be so high for no reason. For example, I would feel very comfortable in a $SPYD and then possibly supplement it with individual stocks or other ETFs.
