Dear gq community,

I’ll have some funds available this week that I’d like to invest in a dividend ETF.

Whenever this topic comes up, the $TDIV (-0.98%) is mentioned.

However, I’ve also identified two other ETFs that I’d like to put up for discussion, and I’d love to hear your pros and cons here.

The two additional dividend ETFs are, first, the $EQQQ (+2.66%) and, secondly, the $VHYL (-0.11%)

Here are a few figures:

Price performance

YTD

$TDIV (-0.98%) 11.98%

$EQQQ (+2.66%) 19.03%

$VHYL (-0.11%) 14.52%

1 year

$TDIV (-0.98%) 27.83%

$EQQQ (+2.66%) 35.54%

$VHYL (-0.11%) 26.92%

Dividend

Current

$TDIV 3.14%

$EQQQ 0.17%

$VHYL 2.36%

1 year

$TDIV (-0.98%) 3.90%

$EQQQ (+2.66%) 0.23%

$VHYL (-0.11%) 3.03%

My assessment is therefore as follows:

VanEck offers the highest dividend, but currently lags slightly behind Vanguard in the charts. In the chart, Invesco is far ahead of both in terms of YTD and 1-year performance. However, the dividend there is very low.

However, if you balance the dividend against the price gains, you would still have to choose the Invesco $EQQQ (+2.66%) .

I’d really appreciate your opinions, tips, and food for thought.

Maybe it's the most boring portfolio here on GQ when my first doublers are just the $ING (+0.76%) & $BATS (-1.89%) are... I started investing in 2023, before that I only tested the $EQQQ (+2.66%) and yes, if I had put 100% in there in 2020 and not let it run in the savings plan, it wouldn't be 94% now but a good 400% profit, but you're always smarter afterwards :-)

This should have been my last purchase in this portfolio for this year; from March onwards, this portfolio will only run with savings plans, financed from the distributions and dividends. Savings are made, $EQQQ (+2.66%) , $WITS (+2.85%) and $IUIT (+2.94%) Let's see what it looks like at the end of the year.

I would like to share my experience here, which I recently made when I transferred my securities account from trade Republic to scalable. Spoiler Alert to the conclusion: you have to praise sometimes.

So scalable is currently advertising a bonus if you make a portfolio transfer. When I read that, I remembered that I had a few small shares from the $SPY5 (+1.54%) and from $EQQQ (+2.66%) at trade Republic, but the larger items are at scalable. so I thought this was the right time to combine them and take another €25 with me.

So far I've hesitated to do this because all my previous portfolio transfers, no matter from whom to whom, always required a complaint and the involvement of BaFin and it took months.

The deadline for the transfer premium ends on January 18 and I was very worried about whether it would work by then.

First of all, I realized that this was different from previous custody account transfers, where I had always placed the order with the receiving bank. Here, scalable immediately pointed out to me that I would have to do this in the Trade Republic app instead. So I searched for 10 minutes to find out exactly where to do this, finally found it, entered the data and sent it off. that was on Monday 22.12.

Today, unsuspectingly, I open the scalable app and realize that the shares are already there and the transfer is complete. And it has been since yesterday.

The initial values have also already been transferred.

Holy crap, what's going on? Has digitalization broken out or what? Not even three days and it's Christmas week.

In any case, despite all the justified complaints about Trade Republic, I think you also have to share some positive experiences. Good job.

Have a wonderful Sunday everyone!

🔔 BREAKING: The biggest de-escalation in the US-China trade conflict in years is imminent.

Under the new agreement between Donald Trump-USA and China, the following measures apply:

🇨🇳 China's measures:

1.Suspension of new export controls on rare earths

2. issuance of general export licenses for rare earths

3. "Significant measures" to curb fentanyl trade to the USA

4. suspension of all retaliatory tariffs imposed since March 4

5. suspension of all non-tariff countermeasures since March 4

6. purchase of at least 12 million tons of US soybeans

🇺🇸 Measures taken by the USA:

1.Reduction of tariffs on Chinese goods by 10 percentage points

2. extension of certain exemptions under Section 301 until November 2026

In addition:

-China will suspend all retaliatory tariffs announced since March 4 and repeal or suspend all non-tariff countermeasures imposed since then.

-China has also committed to easing export restrictions on certain automotive chips - a clear signal of a possible "thaw" in technology trade relations.

-Analysts are talking about the biggest de-escalation in the trade dispute between the US and China for years - a move that has received far too little attention so far.

Are we in for a Moonvember let us know in the comments!

$CSPX (+1.51%) , $EQQQ (+2.66%) , $BTC (+2.74%)

The milestones are piling up and 99% of the price drivers are tech stocks. For over a decade, people would have simply invested in tech stocks without any analysis or knowledge and $EQQQ (+2.66%) and outperformed everything. I have also profited significantly from this. Why should you even analyze stocks and rack your brains when every dip in the tech sector, no matter how big, is bought up within months? This immediately raises the next question for me: how can there still be people who lose money on the stock market? 😕

$TRUMP (+0.06%)
$IWDA (+1.1%)
$CSPX (+1.51%)
$CSNDX (+2.67%)
$EQQQ (+2.66%)
$BTC (+2.74%)
$ETH (+6.16%)

Who got nervous? 😁
