I am not a fan of dividends. It's basically just forced selling which makes it harder to optimize your taxes. I know human psychology loves dividends in that they generate income and the number of shares never go down, but companies cut their dividend all the time so they are hardly guaranteed. You are better off holding quality companies and selling a small number of shares when you need the income. Yes the number of your shares will go down but your total account balance won't.

If you compare holding SPY vs SPYD and selling a few fractional shares of SPY every quarter so you get the same income as if you had SPYD, the SPY portfolio will have a much higher value after a decade.

I appreciate the thoughts however this thread is not meant to be a debate or discussion on dividends vs non dividends.

I'm looking for feedback on any specific dividend ETFs people like or hate

No, he asked for comments or concerns about SPECIFIC dividend ETFs.

Ones that would be Drip for the next 5-10 years then switch to income
