117 - Should I Pursue a Dividend and Sector Investment Strategy?

Real Personal Finance

Scott and James discuss if you should pursue a dividend and sector investment strategy.

Listener Question

1. Can we talk about dividends and dividend stocks? Is it a wise strategy to invest in those stocks that pay out dividends to shareholders?

2. I have been looking at investing in ETFs and I have seen number of ETFs under the label of Sector and Specialty ETFs (that is how Vanguard labels them). Could we talk more about these? I would be interested in investing in some of these- but I am not sure if it is wise?

Planning Points Discussed

• Retirement Planning
• Utilizing Time Efficiently
• Capital Appreciation
• Purchasing Power
• Other issues (IRAs, Inflation, Financial Goals, etc.)
