VYM ETF: Diversify dividends for long-term stability

I have been passionate about investing since I was a child, and I started putting this passion into practice when I started investing in stocks in 2018 at the age of 18. . I have a bachelor’s degree in finance and banking and a master’s degree in financial management and investment, which gave me a comprehensive academic foundation in finance and investment principles. I am certified as a Capital Markets and Securities Analyst and a Financial Modeling and Valuation Analyst by the Institute of Corporate Finance, which demonstrates my expertise in evaluating complex financial instruments, conducting valuations, and building financial models. Additionally, I successfully passed CFA Level 1 in May 2023 and CFA Level 2 in September 2024. Expertise in investment analysis, portfolio management and financial markets. This academic and professional foundation complements my practical experience in the market. As a generalist investor, I analyze opportunities across various sectors, although I have a strong preference for stable cash flow sectors such as consumer defense, utilities and real estate. My investing philosophy is centered around value investing principles, identifying stocks that are trading below their intrinsic value and holding them for long-term appreciation and dividends. My motivation for contributing to Seeking Alpha is my desire to enhance understanding of the financial markets through company analysis, sharing insights, and interacting with more experienced investors.
