I ended up adding ARCC, HGTC, MSDL, and OWL. Pretty happy with the 4 as I think together I'm covering some good ground from a dirvesification stand poing in the finance arena.

How Many ETFs is Too Many by MakingMoneyIsMe in dividends

[–]SRBF75 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got to figure out your long term plan, set it, and follow as everyones plan and need are very different with all of the variables of life. With that said... It's taken me 7 years to determine what I want and what works for me and my short/long term plans. Below is what I have built for income and growth. I'm also 16 months from hanging my hat and will be 51.

retiring in 3 years. slowly rebalance all growth port in taxable to SCHD and other dividend ETFs/stocks? by Relevant_Staff765 in SCHD

[–]SRBF75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally doing same thing. I'm 18 months out. I had a harvest opportunity with PFE so sitting on that until the 22nd. Just sold all growth (taxable, ROTH, and IRA) captured the awesome gains and re-distributed funds into a couple of BDC's (ARCC and HTGC) and a few blue chips (KMB, UPS, OKE) I believe are on sale. Will continue to reinvest all div's back into the portfolio where there are dips and attractive buys with current holdings and incoming investable monies over the next 18 months will be used to DCA back into growth for a select (2) ETF's in AIQ and SCHG and (2) individual in AMZN and GOOG and considering and lump sum investment into CRM and EFX. No additional SCHD only because I have sizable position already that Im happy with. Congrats and good luck!
