>No, it would not be a horrible idea to move your savings into a high dividend ETF while you are away. In fact, it could be a very wise decision if the ETF is well-managed and has a good track record.

My bad I misread that and replied to it thinking it said "it would be a horrible idea". My apologies! Well thank you for your advice! It's track record hasn't been amazing, I believe the past year it's gone down -3%. It might be a better idea to find one that is doing better, but has a lower dividend to be safe. I'll keep going back and fourth with the idea before jumping on the idea. I appreciate your help by the way, thank you

Go to r/investing.

You'll get better answers.

But right off the bat, I can tell that you don't understand that $350 dividend each month varies on ETF price. Stock price drops, you won't get $350/mo. Also, if price of that ETF drops in value, you lose more than just your dividends.

But if you plan on holding that forever, go for it. You'll get more detailed answers at r/investing than here I'm sure.

> it has a once a month dividend of 7.62%.

no it doesn't. And your lack of understanding about how that work is a red flag to not put your money into anything beside food/rent.

I don’t think moving all your savings into the market right now is a great idea, have you heard of trying to catch a falling knife? Then again you are young so you can take a few cuts. You could buy treasuries or put it in a high yield savings or CD if you don’t want any downside risk. The price of DIV can easily drop more. 6 months from now might be a better time to invest. Wait for the down trend to end.

Oh snap! Wait besides berating me, would you be able to explain how I got that wrong? On Robinhood for the 30 say dividend it says 7.62. I thought that represented the %

will canada want tax on your dividends? might be best to just buy a non-dividend stock instead. but the gains will probably be so low your tax is 0, but i dont know if youd be required to file the paper work for canada, pretty sure you will need to for usa if you go for dividends.

bro use basic common sense. If a stock is paying out 7.62% a month, why would anyone invest in anything else? And I'm not your teacher or parents so I don't have to explain jack to you, google it yourself or don't believe me and do what you want, I couldn't care less.
