With approximately 4.6% yeild and holding some of the largest pieces of the S&P 500 itself, how could you short this? This is like tracking the S&P with an added 2.5% yeild.

No brainer pick for a CAPS winner.

Dividend-paying stocks, like value stocks, have had a great run since the "growth crash" started in 2000. But any rally that goes too long becomes a bubble, and every bubble ends with a "pop." What makes it worse in this case is… More

The general market has shown strength in equity returns the past year & has highlighted continued dollar weakness.

In general, the dividend ETFs have lagged partly due to the devaluation of the dollar.

At these higher price levels, I believe there will be downward pressure on equity prices &/or stronger dollar pressure. To have continued exposure to equities (or offset short positions) yet take advantage of short-midterm macro shift, I look to dividend ETFs.

I screened for dividend ETFs that have lagged the overall market, and eliminated dividend ETFs that either outperformed all the others in the above periods &/or eliminated ETFs that had too high exposure in the 3 primary sectors Information, Service, Manufacturing (according to morningstar). Also I ensured the remaining ETFs did not have higher than category avg weighting to Energy sector. These factors will inherently provide a defensive positioning in going long equities.

The S&P basically PLUS dividend.

Dividend's for life and at a great value! I'll beat the S&P in CAPS just from the dividends.
