Dividend Growth Forum

After experimenting with Dividend Growth ETFs a few years ago, I decided that it wasnt working for me -- the most important aspect -- growth in dividend income year after year, was simply not realized by owning these ETFs.

Came across this article today which explains why ETFs unit holders never see those raises.

Nice find. I've never seen a dividend growth ETF or mutual fund that looked nearly as good as assembling my own.

I think ETFs are good for starting a portfolio. I'm starting from scratch in my taxable account and have a constant internal debate of starting new positions and diversify vs adding to existing. I've only got 7 stocks right now and doubled down for the first time today, hoping it pays off.
