These 40 dividend stocks are what I consider to be a combination of quality and yield. I supplement it with call and put options to hedge and enhance return potential.

SPYD has a 4.81% estimated dividend yield, a low 0.07% expense ratio, and $6.55 billion in assets under management. While these are all great features, SPYD consistently underperforms. The reason is because SPYD doesn't screen for quality. Furthermore, its equal-weighting scheme assigns too much weight to the lowest-quality stocks, whereas market-cap-weighted ETFs generally don't do this. These quality differences are evident when evaluating SPYD's dividend safety and profit scores against alternatives like SCHD, HDV, and FDVV. These ETFs are much better for long-term investing.
