@@user-tm1kb3fq4m Thanks for the suggestion!

Illustrative video! Thanks! In my taxable account, I believe that Fidelity would charge me a transaction fee to buy/sell VTSAX, so I use VTI.

VTSAX is my go to. I’m 54 and retired and want to start taking some dividends. Which etf do you recommend in order to get dividend checks now?

[@OptimizedPortfolio]

Thanks for watching! I can't provide personalized advice. VYM and VIG are popular dividend funds from Vanguard. I have other videos on those. Just remember you can sell shares and accomplish the same thing, as "dividend checks" aren't free money.

One thing to considered is that mutual funds allow fractional investing so every bit of money invested is working. I own both VTI and VTSAX.

Most brokers offer fractional shares of ETFs nowadays.

I own VTSNX and VIIIX in my 401k VTSAX isn’t available although VIIIX is basically the S&P 500. I do 50/50 US International.
