$10,000 at 4% gives you $400 interest in one year.
Just about any decent dividend stock will outperform that. Look at PET for example. It is sitting at $3.65/share right now and offers a quarterly dividend of $0.30. That puts you at $1.20/share per year. 10k = 2739 shares = $3,286.80 dividend payout in one year.
Banks are the worst place to put investments. Money in bank accounts are only supposed to be there if you need it liquid, like an emergency fund or your checking account.

For all the nay sayers downvoting me as if it is impossible to find dividend stocks that outperform their precious SPY or high yield savings rates, here is a great list I found with shit loads. I count 60 different stocks that offer 10% yields or more. 100 in total all offering over 8% -double what some bullshit ‘high yield’ savings offers.
If it was a temporary drop, yes. They’re all being slowly hammered into the ground.
Maybe they’re paying big dividends because the actual share price is worthless, so you lose your initial investment but think you’re getting money back? Dunno, seems shifty as fuck
Little under 30k in higher risk dividend. Bring in about 800 a month.
I have a mix of large cap, small cap growth stocks, then dividend high risk and low risk. Stock like this (I do not own PETS, I was just using it as an example) would be a high risk due to its price instability. But you mitigate that with stop loss orders.
I have a vanguard/roth for my longs (large cap growths and stable dividends with DRIP) and then use etrade for the small cap or high risk ones. I like their tax documents and easy interface.
People make arguments against dividend stocks, I simply call it a different strategy. Some years it beats out my growths, some years it is about on par. Depends on where I have it at the time and slightly more market dependant.
I have recently gotten into ex-date chasing. While it has increased the returns, it is more work.
When it is easy bull markets, I go heavy on growth stocks. When the market is bear, I go heavy on dividends. Right now though there is a high beta turmoil, so I have a mix of both. My IRA is also set up as more od a “leave this alone” investment. My etrade account has my “fuck around and find out” money. I mention this because it is hard to directly compare the two. So far my dividends have strongly out performed the growth stocks, but only in the last 3 months or so has the gap widened. I credit it to 2 specific ones that are getting me 30%-ish yields with stable prices. They are also new etf’s, so the hedge money is still strong before the stripping gets to its prices. I mentioned in a post lower that that my little under 30k is netting me 800/month. Honestly it is paying a higher yield than renting out my condo is getting me.
High yield savings account at SoFi or Ally Bank will give you 4% right now.
No offense, but that sounds like a terrible idea.

Vanguard recently started offering a savings account that currently has a 4.15% APY (their ‘cash plus’ account).
If OP wants to park the money in a savings account for easier access than a mutual fund, that’s both a more reliable institution and a better rate.

PET? What stock are you talking about?
PETS, sorry, don’t know why my phone cut off the ‘S’.
I just checked the top 3 companies there and every share price is through the floor lol
Isn’t that the time you want to buy…?

Baby steps. Asking someone to go from nothing to investing in stocks is quite a leap.
Have you ever heard of the tbill?
Sure. It is still a lower rate than going into dividend stocks.
Tbill has zero principal risk and a higher yield…
Which dividend stock can offer this?
How much do you personally have invested in stocks like these?
Little under 30k in higher risk dividend. Bring in about 800 a month.

Ive thought about doing that with my IRA, has the market negatively impacted your yields at all?

Thanks for this, 30% is crazy to me. Which ETFs are these two if you don’t mind me asking?
Don’t they call that “stalking”?
Also yes. The more professional name is ‘dividend capture strategy’. More work, worth the pay off, do all you can to avoid commissions and fees.
Haha I was making a joke about the terminology but I probably should actually do some reading about the topic
It is also called ‘dividend stripping’.
Sofi isnt a bank.
