3 Hot Dividend-Paying ETFs with Solid Yields

October + Fed Pivot = Your Crypto Windfall?

It never hurts to hold dividend stocks – especially when markets get uncontrollably volatile. Not only can they help protect your portfolio, but they can help generate healthy passive income along the way. Plus, dividend stocks can help smooth out the ride when markets drop.

Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF

With an expense ratio of 0.05% and a monthly yield of 1.59%, the Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (SYM: VIG) is an attractive opportunity. It tracks the performance of the S&P U.S. Dividend Growers Index and invests in large-cap stocks with a record of dividend growth.

Some of the VIG ETF’s 338 holdings include Apple, Microsoft, Broadcom, JPMorgan, Eli Lilly, Visa, Exxon Mobil, UnitedHealth Group, Mastercard and Costco Wholesale to name a few.

The VIG ETF just paid a dividend of just over 86 cents on October 1. Before that, it paid a dividend of just over 87 cents on July 2.

Fidelity High Dividend ETF

We can also look at the Fidelity High Dividend ETF (SYM: FDVV).

With an expense ratio of 0.16% and a yield of 2.76%, the FDVV ETF tracks the Fidelity High Dividend Index, which is designed to reflect the performance of stocks of large- and mid-capitalization dividend-paying companies that are expected to continue to grow dividends.

Some of its top holdings include Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, JPMorgan Chase, Visa, Exxon Mobil, Philip Morris, and Procter & Gamble to name a few.

Have you seen this strange little card yet?

It doesn't look like much... no logo, no magnetic strip like you see on your credit cards...

But cards like it are playing a pivotal role in Donald Trump's latest plans for the U.S. dollar. One central bank chair says it's the biggest change to our money since our currency was first pegged to gold.

Now, the biggest companies in the world are pouring billions into this breakthrough.

Tech giant Stripe just spent $1 billion to upgrade their systems for this rollout. Meanwhile, Visa and Mastercard say they'll accept this new form of the dollar at 150 million merchant locations worldwide.

I predict this will change how we do business here in America...

And yet, hardly anyone is talking about this story yet.

But I don't expect that to be the case for long.

Get the full story here before it's too late.
