  • Construct a Fixed Income Portfolio with 5%+ Dividends Using ETFs [View article]
    Was anyone else confused reading this? If the author is going to discuss bond ETFs in the same breath as equity ETFs he should be clearer what sentences pertain to what.

    Such as when he suggests digging into each ETFs holdings to determine each company's payout ratio. How does that apply to the bonds, REIT, or even preferred stock ETFs mentioned? Huh?

    And, frankly, talking about "dividends" for equities and bonds at the same time is very odd to me. Bond prices, by definition, hover around some baseline (par) whereas equity pricing has no similar bound.

    There are some potentially interesting ideas here, but, I think better care should have been taken in the presentation.
