The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I had good luck asking on Shrewd'm about money market like funds (SGOV, VMFXX) but as rates are falling I was looking at diversifying.

I was looking at dividend ETFs and was considering SPDR Portfolio S&P 500® High Div ETF (SPYD, 0.07 expense ratio, 4.18% SEC yield). Does anyone have other suggestions? I'd found a number of other ideas, for instance from reddit.com - Alternatives to spyd I saw Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD, 0.06% expense ratio, 3.6% SEC yield), iShares Core Dividend Growth ETF (DGRO, 0.08% expense ratio, 2.24% SEC yield), and Vanguard High Dividend Yield ETF (VYM, 0.06% expense ratio, 2.65% SEC yield).

Any help, or alternative ideas are appreciated.
