Unlike growth-oriented assets, which depend on share price appreciation, dividend-paying stocks generate regular payouts.
But why do so many investors run to dividend stocks and ETFs? Dividends offer a way to compound wealth by reinvesting the generated income while also providing financial stability in <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44476778/author-says-dave-ramsey-is-completely-ignorant-of-sequence-of-returns-risk-questions-whether-1-million-is-really-enough-for-retirement">retirement</a>. High-quality dividend companies also have a history of increasing payouts year after year, helping investors keep up with inflation.

Still, total returns are also important in investing, as one investor demonstrated. The investor, a Reddit user who shared his journey in the r/Dividends community, is a 61-year-old retiree who spent 37 years building his portfolio on growth before switching to a dividend strategy when approaching retirement. He ultimately crafted a portfolio yielding around 8% and named his top holdings in the thread.
&#8220;My big break was being mostly cash in early 2020 because I felt the market had gotten too expensive. That was largely luck but it worked great. March 2020 was really fun. I spent between $1 million to $2 million on stocks in about 30 days and the resulting market rise after that secured my retirement. When I started learning about dividends, I included it as one option but still looked at it from a perspective of total returns,&#8221; he shared.
Now, he lives comfortably off dividends, rarely selling stocks for income, and relying on growing dividend payouts. The investor has shared his holdings in the Reddit community, so let&#8217;s see what they are.

One Reddit user, a 58-year-old investor with a $3 million portfolio, is making a bold move like this. He is considering reallocating $1 million to dividend-focused investments to test the waters before retiring. His goal is to generate $55,000 annually in dividends while making sure his portfolio remains steady enough to support his lifestyle in retirement.
&#8220;I have about a $3 million portfolio mostly spread between mutual funds and individual stocks but I have never focused on dividends. I am now 58 and thinking about putting 1/3 or $1 million into dividend ETFs and stocks in preparation for retirement,&#8221; the investor wrote.
His proposed allocation includes a combo of ETFs and stocks, such as Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SCHD#NYSE">SCHD</a>), Realty Income Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/O#NYSE">O</a>), Ares Capital Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARCC#NASDAQ">ARCC</a>), Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLU#NYSE">XLU</a>), JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JEPI#NYSE">JEPI</a>), and JPMorgan Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JEPQ#NASDAQ">JEPQ</a>), aiming for a 5.5% yield.

Still, the poster is unsure whether his allocation is optimal, especially when it comes to stocks like O and ARCC, and whether the ETFs he selected offer enough diversification and yield. The Reddit community has offered the investor plenty of advice and insights, so let&#8217;s see these.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">$1 Million Reallocation For Retirement–Reddit Analyzes the Stock and ETF Selection</h2>
Diversify and Consider Risk Management
Many community members mentioned how important diversification in investing is, especially when it comes to a retirement portfolio, so they suggested replacing individual stocks with ETFs for risk reduction and simplification.
&#8220;I'd avoid individual stocks in a retirement account, like O and ARCC. I'd go with the ETF [Putnam BDC Income ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/pbdc#NYSE">PBDC</a>)] for more diversification. I&#8217;d have you investing $1 million into: SCHD 27%, JEPI 11%, [Vanguard International High Dividend Yield ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/vymi#NASDAQ">VYMI</a>)] 11%, JEPQ 10.5%, [NEOS Nasdaq 100 High Income ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/qqqi#NASDAQ">QQQI</a>)] 9.7%, [NEOS S&amp;P 500 High Income ETF (CBOE: SPYI)] 9.5%, PBDC 6.6%, [Arbor Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/abr#NYSE">ABR</a>)] 6%, [STAG Industrial, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/stag#NYSE">STAG</a>)] 3.55%, [Reaves Utility Income Fund (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/utg#NYSE">UTG</a>)] 3.5%, and your yield would be over 8% with $6,800 per month dividend income on average,&#8221; a comment reads.
&#8220;Switch XLU with more SCHD. I like [VICI Properties Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/vici#NYSE">VICI</a>)] more than O; VICI is literally recession-proof. Also, I would get rid of JEPI for more JEPQ or SPYI,&#8221; a Redditor suggested.
A user pointed out that the investor has no global diversification, which can offer stability for a portfolio.
&#8220;You&#8217;ve got no international positions either. Legendary investors like Warren Buffett and Peter Lynch have both said that you should invest in companies that any idiot can run because sooner or later, one will. The same is true of countries,&#8221; he said.

Think About Yield Optimization and Tax Efficiency
Commenters also focused on how the investor can maximize yield while maintaining tax efficiency, particularly since he is planning for retirement.
&#8220;I would personally put the bulk of money in high-yield funds like [iShares Preferred and Income Securities ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/pff#NASDAQ">PFF</a>)] with a 6% yield, PBDC 9%, and JEPQ. ARCC is a [business development company] and they are required to pay out most of their earnings so the dividends are high for many BDCs. PBDC invests in the best BDCs they can find, including ARCC. This adds diversification. You could also have some money in [Schwab High Yield Bond ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/scyb#NYSE">SCYB</a>)], a corporate bond fund with a yield of 7%, and the rest in SCHD and XLU. I don&#8217;t see a reason to keep JEPI,&#8221; a Redditor suggested.
&#8220;We are retired early and in the process of migrating from dividend growth to dividend income in our taxable account. SPYI and [NEOS Nasdaq 100 High Income ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/qqqi#NASDAQ">QQQI</a>)] use return of capital in their distributions so they work well in taxable accounts. I also like some [closed-end funds] such as [Eaton Vance Enhanced Equity Income Fund (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/eoi#NYSE">EOI</a>)] and [Eaton Vance Enhanced Equity Income Fund II (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/eos#NYSE">EOS</a>)] that use long-term capital gains and/or return of capital in their distributions,&#8221; a retiree in the comments recommended.
A Redditor considered the poster&#8217;s strategy way too conservative and advised him to go more aggressive to boost income and overall returns.
&#8220;In my opinion, you are short-changing yourself with such a conservative dividend income portfolio. I hold JEPQ and other high dividend funds and ETFs and am getting a yield of 12%+ with 26% total return in 2024,&#8221; he said.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

In the current market session, Arbor Realty Trust Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABR#NYSE">ABR</a>) share price is at $13.41, after a 0.15% increase.

<h3>Arbor Realty Trust P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Arbor Realty Trust has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 10.48 of the Mortgage Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1738609208_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.
