by stocks, i mean an ETF or collection of many stocks.
I understand that the point is obviously income, but you can just sell shares of VOO. You have a 1M portfolio and If you need say 40k a year, you sell 40k worth of VOO and will pay 0% capital gains (assuming held 1Y+ and no other income) but you get the upside of good growth. Compare that to a income ETF that has 4% qualified dividends, you will get 40k a year and be in the same scenario but there are almost no dividend stocks that will have the same growth as the market.
What is the point of income stocks if someone can just sell value/growth stocks and earn income but at a greater deal of flexibility and likely in the short span of 5-10 years still end up with more capital appreciation
I have the option of rolling some of my 401k into company stock, which I have been doing with a small percentage as they have pretty good dividend payouts. When I search for their stock to track it, I am able to see their main stock and their class B. The company stock I have through Fidelity 401k isn’t priced like either. It’s closer to the class B stock price, but is a couple dollars less in its price. Is this normal?
