Thanks for visiting!

    DG,

    I can tell you don’t read your comments. What is the main purpose of you blog, just to get some ad dollars?

    Great website, beginning investor…My question is, which is better to get into?
    1. Buy a high paying dividend stock like Bank of America and Merk or just buy the ETF SDY or DVY which cover both companies. What are the differences? Thanks for your time.

    Ryan,

    Here is my two cents. It depends on what you are looking for in an investment. You will have to determine which is best for you. Owning just a few stocks is more risky and requires you to do more homework to follow your investments. With the additional risk you have the chance of better returns and a higher yield by owning the stocks of your choice. The ETF’s you mention hold 50 or 100 stocks so your overall risk is lower. If one company drops in price or stops it’s dividend payment you will not see much of an effect in the ETF. FYI, I have been investing in stocks and mutual funds since 88 and have done quite well.
