During a market like we have experienced over the past few months when the major benchmarks are posting negative year-to-date returns, dividend income becomes even more important for many investors. That extra income can either be reinvested back in stocks or an exchange-traded fund, at a cheaper price if the investment is down, or kept as a source of income. Either option is good, depending on the investor. Many investors, particularly those in retirement, like to have that extra dividend income.
Two of the best ETFs on the market right now for dividend income are the SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 High Dividend ETF (NYSEMKT: SPYD) and the Invesco S&P Ultra Dividend Revenue ETF (NYSEMKT: RDIV).
