  • Episode 118: Comparing SCHD, VIG and DGRO
    Dec 16 2024

    Send us a text

    In this episode I compare three of the most commonly held Dividend Equity ETF's, Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD), Vanguard Dividend Appreciation Index Fund (VIG) and ishares Core Dividend Growth ETF (DGRO).

    Which one is the best to buy? The best choice is not based on the highest historical performance or dividend yield. Instead I walk through how to select an ETF that aligns with your portfolio and investing goals.

  • Episode 117: Radish Portfolio Review, And Lessons Learned
    Dec 9 2024

    Send us a text

    In 2024, after 30 years of investing I reinvented myself as a first time investor. In this episode I recap Radish's Portfolio and reflect on the year and more importantly reflect on what I learned and will do different in 2025...the market doesn't of up 30% every year. No matter where you are in your investing journey it is important to "self-scout" reflect, learn and improvise as needed.
