The class will start by illustrating and discussing the difference between ETFs and stocks for dividend investing. Examples of ETF and stock dividend results will be shown and the differences in how dividends are managed in both ETFs and dividend paying stocks will be shown and discussed. We will also show how ETF and stock dividends are the same and different.

The class will center on repeatable income using dividends-paying investments to generate income commission-free through long- and short-term investing in ETFs and stocks. The ETFs and stocks presented in the class will include those that return a minimum of 4% up to 10% (or more) in annual dividend returns. Class members can suggest stock/ETFs that they would like to discuss.

The class will include presentations and stock/ETF trading platform called PaperMoney. The PaperMoney platform is a practice platform that cannot make or lose money – but does operate just like the platform it is a part of ThinkorSwim. Paper Money (ThinkorSwim) is available for trial from Charles Schwab. The class will also include information about free training available from major brokerages.
