This is the case of a Reddit user who is exploring this approach. With $30,000 to invest, he's seeking long-term dividend stocks that can grow over the next 20 years until retirement. While he already holds dividend-paying stocks like Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and Walt Disney&nbsp; (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>), he wants to expand his portfolio for stability and future income, even if it's just enough to cover yearly vacations.
&#8220;I currently have some stocks that give out dividends (Apple, Disney) but I&#8217;m looking for others. Long-term stability, that my wife and I can use the dividends as another form of income say in 20 years. Even if it&#8217;s just enough to pay for a yearly vacation here or there.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Where to Invest $30,000 to Generate Enough Income to Cover Yearly Vacations? Reddit Answers</h2>
Put the Money in an ETF
Several commenters recommended Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SCHD#NYSE">SCHD</a>) as a core holding because of its dividend yield, historical growth, and the low-risk, diversified exposure it offers investors.
&#8220;Go all in SCHD. Low risk, nice 3.5% starting yield and it will just keep growing,&#8221; a commenter said.
Reinforcing the idea that SCHD fits the poster&#8217;s long-term stability and dividend payout need, this Redditor also suggested he goes with SCHD: &#8220;Since you want some growth and decent payout, SCHD is a great option. 3.5% dividends and 11% growth over the last 10 years each year.&#8221;
&#8220;I would stick with S&amp;P 500 ETFs being young. Put it in a self-direct investment retirement account to avoid taxes,&#8221; a comment reads.

Consider High-Yield Dividend Stocks and Trusts
Several commenters suggested higher-yield assets that would generate higher payouts for the investor in the long run.
&#8220;If you want higher yield stocks check: [Verizon Communications (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/vz#NYSE">VZ</a>)], [AT&amp;T (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/t#NYSE">T</a>)], [Realty Income Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/o#NYSE">O</a>)], [Altria Group (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mo#NYSE">MO</a>)], [British American Tobacco (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bti#NYSE">BTI</a>)],&#8221; a Redditor recommended.
A commenter mentioned United Parcel Service (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UPS#NYSE">UPS</a>) as a great pick since the company seems to start focusing on higher profit margin areas.
&#8220;UPS pays a solid dividend and the share price has been beaten down a lot on the news that they are reducing Amazon deliveries to focus on higher profit margin areas,&#8221; he said.
Suggesting a very detailed portfolio allocation, this Redditor mentioned several ETFs and individual stocks that he considers would help the poster reach his dividend and growth goals.

Market Whales and Their Recent Bets on AXP Options

Visa Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/V#NYSE">V</a>) has reportedly proposed a $100 million payment to Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) to secure the Apple Card network. This move comes amid fierce competition among the country&#8217;s leading payment networks.
What Happened: Apple Card is up for grabs as Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>), the bank currently backing it, plans to exit the consumer lending sector. Major banks such as JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) and Synchrony Financial are vying to take over as the card issuer. Visa has stepped in with a $100 million bid to secure the Apple Card network,
Visa, Apple and Mastercard did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comment. 
Meanwhile, payment networks, including Visa Inc. and American Express Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXP#NYSE">AXP</a>), are in a tight race to replace Mastercard Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MA#NYSE">MA</a>) as the network for the Apple Card. Apple Inc. is expected to choose a network for its card before selecting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/01/43019382/apple-eyes-barclays-and-synchrony-to-replace-goldman-sachs-as-credit-card-partner-report">bank to replace</a> Goldman Sachs Group Inc. Visa Inc., the largest network, has made a bold bid to win the card, offering an upfront payment to Apple that is typically reserved for the largest card programs, according to a report by <a href="https://www.wsj.com/finance/banking/apple-card-visa-mastercard-deal-3ce762da">The Wall Street Journal</a>.

Mastercard Inc. is also making a strong effort to retain its role as the network for the Apple Card, exploring the use of its fintech, Finicity, to enable consumers to view their deposit-account balances within the Apple ecosystem.
Why It Matters: The Apple card program, with approximately $20 billion in balances, is one of the largest co-branded deals to change issuers. The network that secures this deal is expected to remain closely connected to Apple&#8217;s future payment efforts.

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/warren-buffett">Warren Buffett</a> ended 2024 hoarding cash. Yet a longer look at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/berkshire-hathaway">Berkshire Hathaway</a>'s portfolio suggests that, as usual, Buffett isn't tipping his hand over his portfolio management strategy going forward. 
According to the firm&#8217;s 13-F regulatory filings, while top Berkshire holdings like American Express (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXP#NASDAQ">AXP</a>) and Coca-Cola (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>) remain steady, Buffett is simultaneously curbing big positions in portfolio stalwarts.
Here&#8217;s what Buffett is selling and what he&#8217;s preparing for.
"Warren Buffett's been selling for a reason, and it's not because he's lost confidence in investing," said Steven Kibbel, a certified financial planner and an advisor at Prop Firm App, a website dedicated to proprietary trading and investment strategies. "He's sitting on a record cash pile that tells you everything. He's not just taking money off the table for the sake of it; he's waiting for better opportunities."
It&#8217;s no secret that the stock market has been pricey in recent years, and Buffett has never been one to chase high valuations. "He's also said before that when the market cap of U.S. stocks surpasses GDP by too much, it's a warning sign," Kibbel said. "Right now, that's exactly where we are."
Altogether, Berkshire Hathaway was a seller in 2024, exiting out of equity positions worth $143 billion, which boosted the company's ample cash stack to $334 billion. While Buffett wasn't crystal clear about his pivot to cash in his 2024 annual letter to shareholders, he left some clues for investors.
"Despite what some commentators currently view as an extraordinary cash position at Berkshire, the great majority of your money remains in equities. That preference won't change," Buffett wrote.
"Berkshire shareholders can rest assured that we will forever deploy a substantial majority of their money in equities – mostly American equities, although many of these will have international operations of significance," he added. "Berkshire will never prefer ownership of cash-equivalent assets over the ownership of good businesses, whether controlled or only partially owned."
In an ironic sidebar, Buffett also noted how far Berkshire has come in the past six decades, using taxes as a metric.
"In 1965, the company did not pay a dime of income tax, an embarrassment that had generally prevailed at the company for a decade. Fast forward 60 years and imagine the surprise at the Treasury when that same company – still operating under the name of Berkshire Hathaway – paid far more in corporate income tax than the U.S. government had ever received from any company – even the American tech titans that commanded market values in the trillions."
Buffett noted that the company's $26.8 billion tax comprised about 5% of all U.S. corporate taxes paid in 2024.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Where Buffett Is Selling</h2>
2024, especially the last quarter of the year, saw Berkshire exiting large positions in the financial sector.
"Bank stocks are a big part of Buffett's sell-off," Kibbel noted. "Look at what's happening with interest rates. Higher rates hurt banks' lending businesses, and with economic uncertainty, it's harder to predict how well these companies will perform."
Here's a closer look at three of the big stocks Berkshire Hathaway has been cutting, with a view on what comes next for the Buffett portfolio.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Apple</h3>
Team Buffett sold about 67% of its stake in Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) in 2024, selling most of it in the first three quarters of the year. The portfolio still holds $75.1 billion in AAPL shares. Apple shares are down -14.8% in 2025, so Buffett's AAPL haircut has largely paid off as the tech giant's share price dwindled downward.
Some market watchers say Buffett's Apple sale is about risk exposure.
"When a single stock makes up close to half of your portfolio, even a legend like Buffett knows it's time to trim," said John Beck, a founding partner at Beck &amp; Beck Missouri Lawyers who regularly consults with clients on money matters. "Apple's reliance on China, increased regulatory scrutiny, and supply chain vulnerabilities make it a long-term concern."
Other market experts advise not reading too much into Buffett pulling back on his AAPL exposure.
"Investors selling Apple because Buffett has pared down his position may be misreading his actions," said Robert R. Johnson, professor of Finance Heider College of Business at Creighton University. "Apple currently represents over 22% of Berkshire Hathaway&#8217;s $280-million-dollar marketable securities portfolio. To me, that signals that he has high confidence in the firm.&#8221;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Bank of America</h3>
After its 2024 selloff, Berkshire owns less than the 700 million Bank of America (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) shares it initially purchased in 2017.
"Bank stocks are a big part of the Buffett sell-off," Kibbel said. "Look at what's happening with interest rates. Higher rates hurt banks' lending businesses, and with economic uncertainty, it's harder to predict how well these companies will perform."
Buffett's been trimming his position in Bank of America for a while, not all at once. To Kibble, "That suggests he's being careful about it.&#8221;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Citigroup</h3>
Berkshire Hathaway is in sell mode for a few reasons beyond a pricey market landscape.
"First, interest rates have fundamentally changed the game," Beck noted. "When money was cheap, financial stocks like Bank of America and Citigroup made sense. With higher rates, profit margins shrink, and banks face regulatory uncertainty. Buffett isn't just reacting to today—he's positioning for the next five to ten years."
It&#8217;s the same issue with Citigroup (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>), as Buffett dumped over 70% of that stake in a single quarter. "If one of the best financial minds in the world is reducing exposure to major banks, that says something," Kibbel said.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Takeaway On Buffett And His Growing Cash Position</h2>
It's hard to say what Buffett thinks as the first quarter of 2025 draws to a close. Yet, as the adage goes, the past is prologue, and Buffett may be planning something more significant than shaving down the size of some of his portfolio favorites.
"Warren Buffett has sold a large percentage of his holdings in Apple because he likely thinks it is fully valued," said David I. Kass, a finance professor at the University of Maryland. "However, Apple remains Berkshire&#8217;s largest equity holding. Similarly, he has reduced his stake in Bank of America and Citigroup."
Kass noted that Buffett is also raising cash in preparation for Greg Abel to succeed him as CEO in the near future, enabling Abel to start with a relatively clean slate. "The sales of other stocks, like Ulta Beauty and Nu Holdings, were most likely those of his portfolio managers, Todd Combs or Ted Weschler, since those stakes were relatively small."
Lastly, Buffett is not selling because he thinks these companies are bad; he&#8217;s doing so because he wants to be liquid.
"Take Apple, for example," said David Capablanca, a short-selling equity trading specialist and host of the Friendly Bear Podcast. "He's been trimming his position in Apple, his largest holding, for three quarters now. That tells me he's concerned about valuations, especially in a high-interest-rate environment where tech stocks tend to struggle."
Investors may want to keep in mind that Buffett is not selling out of fear—he's selling to be aggressive when he buys.
"That's the key difference," Capablanca said. "When markets drop, he'll be sitting on a massive pile of cash, ready to scoop up bargains."
So, should the average investor track Berkshire's move into cash? It depends, Capablanca said.
"If you're thinking long-term like Buffett, then yes, studying his moves can give you some insight," he noted. "But blindly copying him isn't the way—he has a different strategy, time horizon, and level of patience than most retail investors. The important thing is understanding why he's doing what he's doing, not just mirroring his trades," he concluded.

3 Beloved Stocks Warren Buffett Is Dumping As Markets Fall

When the going gets tough, the tough get going. This old adage rings true in today&#8217;s volatile markets, as Warren Buffett&#8216;s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) is on track for its strongest two-month performance relative to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/warren-buffett">S&amp;P 500 since 2010. </a>
The Omaha-based conglomerate surged 10.3% in February 2025, marking its best month since March 2022, and has gained another 2.5% in March. 
Meanwhile, the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), which tracks the broader market, declined 1.3% in February and has plunged nearly 5% in March.
This performance has widened Berkshire's outperformance over the S&amp;P 500 to 20 percentage points since February, putting it on track for its best two-month run versus the index since February 2010.
In 2024, Berkshire Hathaway had only marginally outperformed the S&amp;P 500 by 1.8 percentage points. 
On Thursday, shares of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. New hit fresh record highs, closing at $528.73.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Buffett's Long-Term View Holds</h3>
The stock's momentum aligns with Buffett's long-standing investment philosophy, as outlined in Berkshire's latest annual letter to shareholders.
The 93-year-old billionaire emphasized the company's patient, long-term approach: &#8220;Over time, we think it highly likely that gains will prevail – why else would we buy these securities? – though the year-by-year numbers will swing wildly and unpredictably. Our horizon for such commitments is almost always far longer than a single year. In many, our thinking involves decades. These long-termers are the purchases that sometimes make the cash register ring like church bells.&#8221;
Buffett also highlighted Berkshire's role as a major taxpayer, noting that the company has paid more in corporate income tax than any other U.S. firm in history, including tech giants with trillion-dollar valuations. In 2024 alone, Berkshire made four payments to the IRS totaling $26.8 billion, accounting for about 5% of all corporate taxes paid in the U.S.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Berkshire's Top Holdings</h3>
According to Berkshire's latest 13F filing as of December 2024, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) remained its largest holding, representing 28.1% of the company's portfolio. This was followed by American Express Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXP#NYSE">AXP</a>) at 16.8% and Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) at 11.2%.

$1000 Invested In This Stock 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

With markets in an uproar lately, I&#8217;ve been thinking about the lessons we can learn from those rare individuals who don&#8217;t just survive bear markets &#8211; they thrive in them.
Today, let's take a look at the extraordinary wealth created by a special breed of investor who sees opportunity where others see only disaster.
Because make no mistake, friends &#8211; bull markets are nice, but bear markets are where generational wealth is created.
The greatest transfer of assets in financial history happens not when markets are soaring, but when they&#8217;re plummeting and fear grips even the steadiest hands.
Just look at the historical returns from major market bottoms:
<ul>
<li>1932 (Great Depression): +372% over the next five years</li>
<li>1974 (Oil Crisis): +76% over the next three years</li>
<li>1987 (Black Monday): +62% over the next three years</li>
<li>2002 (Dot-Com Bust): +101% over the next five years</li>
<li>2009 (Financial Crisis): +400% over the next decade</li>
</ul>
Those aren&#8217;t typos, folks. That&#8217;s the power of buying quality assets when they&#8217;re on fire sale.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">THE MASTERS OF DISTRESS: THREE CONTRARIAN LEGENDS</h2>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Warren Buffett: America&#8217;s Bargain Hunter</h3>
When the 2008 financial crisis hit, most investors couldn&#8217;t sell fast enough. But Warren Buffett? He was buying &#8211; and not just nibbling.
In September 2008, right as Lehman Brothers collapsed, Buffett invested $5 billion in Goldman Sachs preferred stock with warrants that eventually netted Buffett's company Berkshire about $3 billion in profit. He followed this with a $3 billion investment in General Electric on similar terms.
But Buffett wasn&#8217;t done. In the fall of 2008, he wrote his now-famous &#8220;Buy American. I Am&#8221; op-ed, telling the world he was personally buying U.S. stocks for his non-Berkshire portfolio. One specific example? Wells Fargo. Buffett increased Berkshire&#8217;s stake dramatically during the crisis, buying shares at prices as low as $8-20 (split-adjusted), compared to pre-crisis prices around $30-35.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Richard Rainwater: The Ultimate Catastrophe Capitalist</h3>
The late Richard Rainwater made billions by investing in distressed assets when nobody wanted them.
During the Texas real estate collapse of the early 1990s, Rainwater and partner John Goff formed Crescent Real Estate and scooped up prime properties at 20 cents on the dollar. They later took the company public and sold it to Morgan Stanley in 2007 for $6.5 billion &#8211; impeccable timing before the next crash!
After the dot-com bubble burst, Rainwater made another contrarian bet. While tech stocks were still smoldering in 2001-2002, he began accumulating shares in beaten-down energy companies like Ensco International. He recognized the coming commodity super-cycle long before it became obvious to the market.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Andrew Beal: The Banking Billionaire with Infinite Patience</h3>
Andrew Beal&#8217;s approach to bear markets might be the most instructive for individual investors.
During the mid-2000s housing boom, while other banks were partying like there was no tomorrow, Beal Bank was doing something radical: nothing. Beal actually reduced his loan portfolio by 42% from 2004 to 2007, stockpiling cash and waiting.
When the 2008 crisis hit and banks were desperate to unload assets, Beal emerged with his war chest. In early 2009, he purchased $3.5 billion in loan portfolios from the FDIC for around 40% of face value. His bank&#8217;s assets reportedly doubled in a matter of months.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">SPECIFIC STOCK EXAMPLES FROM PAST BEARS</h2>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Internet Bubble Bargains (2000-2002)</h3>
When the tech bubble burst, even solid companies with real earnings were thrown out with the bathwater. Here are some examples of stocks that savvy contrarians scooped up:
<ul>
<li>Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>): Believe it or not, Apple traded as low as $7 (split-adjusted) in 2003 after the dot-com collapse. Investors who bought then and held would have seen their investment grow by over 35,000% by today.</li>
<li>Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN): After topping $100 in 1999, Amazon crashed to around $6 by late 2001. That&#8217;s a 94% decline! Contrarians who saw the long-term potential in e-commerce and bought near those lows have enjoyed returns exceeding 50,000%.</li>
<li>Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT): Even mighty Microsoft fell from $60 to around $20 during the dot-com bust. Those who bought near those lows would have done very well, especially if they held through the past decade.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Financial Crisis Gems (2008-2009)</h3>
The 2008-2009 financial crisis created even more dramatic opportunities:
<ul>
<li>American Express (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXP#NYSE">AXP</a>): Warren Buffett&#8217;s Berkshire Hathaway increased its American Express position during the crisis when shares dropped below $10 (from highs of $60+). The stock has since returned to over $200.</li>
<li>Bank of America (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>): In 2011, when European debt concerns were creating a second wave of financial stress, Buffett invested $5 billion in Bank of America preferred stock with warrants. That investment has since grown to be worth over $30 billion.</li>
<li>Las Vegas Sands (NYSE: LVS): In late 2008, Las Vegas Sands teetered on the brink of bankruptcy, with shares falling from over $140 to under $2. But contrarians who saw value in the company&#8217;s Macau operations were rewarded as the stock rebounded to over $80 within a few years.</li>
<li>Ford (NYSE: F): While General Motors and Chrysler needed government bailouts, Ford managed to avoid bankruptcy. Its shares still collapsed to below $1 in 2008. Investors who bought then saw the stock rise above $18 within a few years &#8211; a return of more than 1,700%.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">THE CONTRARIAN MINDSET: HOW TO THINK LIKE A BEAR MARKET BILLIONAIRE</h2>
What separates these investors from the herd isn&#8217;t just analytical skill &#8211; it&#8217;s psychological fortitude. They&#8217;ve trained themselves to:
<ol start="1">
<li>Be patient: They build cash reserves during good times and wait for fat pitches.</li>
<li>Think independently: They ignore CNBC and focus on business fundamentals.</li>
<li>Have conviction: Once they determine a company is undervalued, they buy aggressively.</li>
<li>Take the long view: They aren&#8217;t concerned with timing the exact bottom &#8211; they focus on value.</li>
</ol>
I don&#8217;t know when the next bear market will arrive &#8211; nobody does.
Maybe this is it. But I do know this: It will come, and it will create extraordinary opportunities for those prepared to act.
Here&#8217;s my advice:
<ol start="1">
<li>Start building a &#8220;bear market shopping list&#8221; of quality companies you&#8217;d love to own at the right price.</li>
<li>Determine your &#8220;dream prices&#8221; &#8211; the levels at which these stocks would be absolute steals.</li>
<li>Set aside capital specifically designated for bear market opportunities.</li>
<li>When the time comes, remember these bear market billionaires and act with conviction.</li>
</ol>
As Richard Rainwater once told Fortune magazine: &#8220;Money is made when things are going from terrible to only bad.&#8221;
That&#8217;s exactly what I intend to do when the next bear comes growling
