There’s chaos in the markets.
And if you want to keep your portfolios safe from any potential madness, it’s always a good idea to invest in dividend stocks, such as:
Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF
With an expense ratio of 0.05% and a monthly yield of 1.73%, the Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (SYM: VIG) is also an attractive opportunity.
It tracks the performance of the S&P U.S. Dividend Growers Index and invests in large-cap stock 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.
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 3.26%, 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.
iShares Core High Dividend ETF
There’s also the iShares Core High Dividend ETF (SYM: HDV).
With an expense ratio of 0.08% and a yield of 3.3%, the HDV ETF tracks the investment results of an index composed of relatively high dividend-paying U.S. equities. Some of its 75 holdings include Exxon Mobil, Johnson & Johnson, Progressive Corp., Chevron, AbbVie, Philip Morris, AT&T, and Coca-Cola to name just a few.
Today's Bonus Content: This $15 Stock Could Go Down as the #1 Stock of 2026
One of the market's greatest sleeper stocks may be about to wake up.
And Wall Street has begun to take notice.
The ticker shot up 5% in a single week as analysts recently raised its price target - and elevated the stock from a Hold to a BUY.
In fact, one 50-year Wall Street legend just named it his #1 stock of 2026 - live, on-camera.
When you see the role this company is playing in a $269 billion market, you'll understand why he's telling his 800,000 followers to put $1,000 into the stock NOW.
(And why BlackRock even made a multi-billion-dollar offer to buy the company behind it.)
Right now, institutional investors hold over 50% of the stock.
But the tide may soon be about to change, as more and more retail investors catch onto its extraordinary potential.
The best part?
As of this writing, it's trading just around $15 a share.
That's one-twelfth the price of Nvidia (NVDA).
So if you missed out on NVDA's extraordinary runup...
This is your rare second chance to get in NOW, before this undervalued stock could become one of the best-performing stocks of the new year.
