One Reddit user, an investor with a $640,000 portfolio, is encountering this issue as he plans to retire in five years or less. Heavily invested in Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SCHD#NYSE">SCHD</a>) with smaller positions in Amplify CWP Enhanced Dividend Income ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIVO#NYSE">DIVO</a>), Amplify CWP International Enhanced Dividend Income ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IDVO#NYSE">IDVO</a>), and Amplify CWP Growth &amp; Income ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QDVO#NYSE">QDVO</a>), the poster&#8217;s portfolio generates $27,162 in annual dividend income.
His goal is to build a portfolio that provides inflation-beating dividend growth, but he&#8217;s wondering whether he diversified enough, whether he should introduce bonds when nearing retirement, and whether the current allocation can generate $75,000 per year.
&#8220;I try to live modestly. I live in a small house. No mortgage. No debt. <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/dividends/comments/1ji8lcd/comment/mjeufff/?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=web3x&amp;utm_name=web3xcss&amp;utm_term=1&amp;utm_content=share_button">My current nominal expenses are about $45,000 per year.</a> I'm thinking about diversifying into [Schwab International Dividend Equity ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/schy#NYSE">SCHY</a>)] to get a little more international exposure,&#8221; he wrote.
Trending: Many are using retirement income calculators to check if they&#8217;re on pace —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-do-i-calculate-my-retirement-income-adv"> here&#8217;s a breakdown on what&#8217;s behind this formula.</a>
The Reddit community weighed in, offering advice and insights, so let&#8217;s analyze the suggestions below.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Can The Current $640,000 Portfolio Generate $75,000 Per Year in Dividends? Reddit Debates</h2>
Increase Yield with Higher-Paying ETFs And Stocks
Several users suggested adding higher-yielding assets to boost income, mainly since the investor&#8217;s 4.24% yield may not cover his $75,000 target.
&#8220;Try getting more yield exposure. [Broadcom (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/avgo#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>)], [Nike (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nke#NYSE">NKE</a>)], [Visa (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/v#NYSE">V</a>)], [The Home Depot (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/hd#NYSE">HD</a>)]–all have high 5-year [compound annual growth rate]. Yield: [MPLX LP (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mplx#NYSE">MPLX</a>)], [JPMorgan Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jepq#NASDAQ">JEPQ</a>)], [Guggenheim Strategic Opportunities Fund (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gof#NYSE">GOF</a>)], [Ares Capital Corporation (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/arcc#NASDAQ">ARCC</a>)​], [VICI Properties (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/vici#NYSE">VICI</a>)], [PIMCO Dynamic Income Fund (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/pdi#NYSE">PDI</a>)],&#8221; a suggestion reads.
A Redditor advised the investor to allocate two parts of the portfolio to a covered call ETF and a high-yield fund since they pay well and the gains are great.
&#8220;Add JEPQ and [Goldman Sachs S&amp;P 500 Core Premium Income ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gpix#NASDAQ">GPIX</a>)]. You will have good gains from those and they pay a lot.&#8221;
A commenter suggested Ares Dynamic Credit Allocation Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARDC#NYSE">ARDC</a>), a business development company because it offers nearly double the yield of SCHD.
&#8220;ARDC is a monthly payer, now at a good entry point at $14.14-ish with a 9.9% dividend, currently paying $0.1125/share monthly. Just went x-dividend. I hold 5,000 shares of ARCC (for several years) and 5,000 shares of ARDC (a more recent position),&#8221; he said.

Focus on Dividend Growth and Compounding
Many Redditors suggested that dividend growth stocks and ETFs are ideal for long-term retirement income, with many sharing what they do to ensure compounding growth for their portfolios.
&#8220;A well-diversified dividend portfolio with a disciplined reinvestment rate should be easily able to weather most storms. And you become a net buyer of shares every year, not a seller. That $640,000 could easily and safely do 8.5% gross and provide a 25% reinvestment rate and still net $40,000/year. I&#8217;m living it,&#8221; a Reddit user said.
&#8220;Nice and consistent portfolio. SCHD, DIVO, and IDVO are very consistent in growth and dividends. Don't know much about QDVO, but I am sure if it's similar to DIVO it's a good pick. I like your portfolio!&#8221; another commenter wrote.
A retiree shared that his income from dividend-focused shares continued to pour even during market corrections and that he&#8217;s reinvesting part of his distributions, growing his wealth year after year.
&#8220;My dividend income didn&#8217;t miss a beat during corrections in 2022, etc. Since I retired 15 years ago, I never sold shares except to rebalance. I reinvest part of my distributions during dips, like now, resulting in my portfolio being over twice what it was when I retired,&#8221; he said.

Investor With $640K Portfolio Aims For Early Retirement – 'Hoping To Retire In 5 Years Or Less' But Faces Tough Choices – Reddit Weights In

World Network (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">WLD</a>) was one of the cryptocurrency market&#8217;s hottest coins Monday, amid speculation about a deal with Visa Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/V#NYSE">V</a>) to build a new stablecoin wallet.
What happened: WLD, the native currency of the decentralized identity verification project, jumped over 11%, becoming the fifth-most successful cryptocurrency in the last 24 hours.
The coin's trading volume nearly tripled to $234 million, as the buying pressure tossed it to a two-week high of $0.94.
The rally outshone returns by market heavyweights Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), which grew 0.74% and 2.79%, respectively, in the last 24 hours.

Sam Altman-Founded Worldcoin Network Beats Bitcoin, Ethereum With 11% Rally Amid Visa Partnership Reports

The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/momentum-trading">momentum trade</a> just hit a wall and the unwind has been nothing short of brutal.
JPMorgan analysts Dubravko Lakos-Bujas, Arun Jain and Bhupinder Singh note that the sharp reversal in momentum has erased two years of gains in just three weeks &#8211; one of the fastest unwinds in four decades. 
With mega-caps leading the drop and a dramatic shift towards low-volatility stocks, investors need to rethink their strategies.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What's Behind The Crash?</h2>
Extreme crowding in momentum stocks &#8211; primarily fueled by AI enthusiasm, high-rate expectations and pro-growth bets—came under pressure as macro risks resurfaced. 
The result? A 17% average decline among the Mag-7, triggering a $5.8 trillion market cap wipeout in the S&amp;P 500.
While forced liquidations and systematic deleveraging have cooled the immediate risk of another crash, JPMorgan warns that if this is a true regime shift, the unwind may only be one-third complete.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Where Is Momentum Flowing?</h2>
Momentum is rotating away from quality growth and into low volatility and defensive plays. 
According to JPMorgan, stocks in the following sectors are seeing the strongest bid:
Utilities: NiSource Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NI#NYSE">NI</a>), Ameren Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AEE#NYSE">AEE</a>) and Evergy Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EVRG#NASDAQ">EVRG</a>)
Insurance: Arthur J. Gallagher &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AJG#NYSE">AJG</a>), Brown &amp; Brown Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRO#NYSE">BRO</a>) and Aon PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AON#NYSE">AON</a>)
Financial Services: Visa Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/V#NYSE">V</a>) and Mastercard Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MA#NYSE">MA</a>)
Crowding in low volatility names has surged, pushing relative P/E valuations to record highs.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What To Watch Next</h2>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">The Low-Volatility Boom</h4>
With the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>) (small caps) lagging and defensive ETFs like the Invesco S&amp;P 500 Low Volatility ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPLV#NYSE">SPLV</a>) seeing inflows, the shift towards safety is clear. But JPMorgan warns that a further rate drop could push low volatility stocks into bubble territory, much like 2016.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">High-Volatility Bargains</h4>
According to JPMorgan, stocks that have seen heavy multiple compression, making them attractive for value-seeking investors, include:
Semiconductors: Monolithic Power Systems Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MPWR#NASDAQ">MPWR</a>), Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Advanced Micro Devices Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>))
Software: (Synopsys Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/snps#NASDAQ">SNPS</a>), Cadence Design Systems Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CDNS#NASDAQ">CDNS</a>), ServiceNow Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOW#NYSE">NOW</a>))
Tech Hardware: (Arista Networks Inc (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/anet#NYSE">ANET</a>), NetApp Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NTAP#NASDAQ">NTAP</a>), Dell Technologies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DELL#NYSE">DELL</a>))
However, without an intra-cycle reset or Fed pivot, a broad move into beaten-down growth stocks may be premature.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">The Fed's Next Move</h4>
If rate expectations shift lower, expect bond proxies to gain further. If not, the defensive rally may stall, forcing a reassessment of positioning.
Momentum traders just got whipsawed and the rotation into low-volatility stocks has been rapid. While some safety plays look solid, overheating risks remain.
Investors should watch for signs of a structural shift &#8211; and be ready to pivot before the next wave hits.

Behind the Scenes of Visa's Latest Options Trends

Visa Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/V#NYSE">V</a>) remains the undisputed scale leader in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/payments">the payments industry</a>, but Mastercard Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MA#NYSE">MA</a>) has been outpacing its rival in growth.
Should investors bet on Visa's dominance or Mastercard's momentum?
JPMorgan's Tien-tsin Huang analyzes the key differences between the two payment giants, focusing on their financials, shareholder returns, and valuation dynamics.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Scale Vs. Speed: Who Wins?</h2>
Visa's dominance is clear — it boasts 63% more total volume, 31% more revenue, and an enviable ten-point operating margin advantage, thanks to superior fixed cost leverage. It also has 50% more cards outstanding and commands nearly two-thirds of the global market share in purchase volume.
However, Mastercard has been running circles around Visa in growth, capitalizing on a mix of faster-expanding regions and revenue streams. According to Huang, Mastercard outpaced Visa in revenue growth by about two percentage points, maintaining its five-year average edge. Even on the bottom line, Mastercard's adjusted EPS grew four percentage points faster, thanks to margin expansion—something Visa couldn't pull off last year.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Shareholder Returns: A Dead Heat</h2>
Both companies are cash flow powerhouses, returning nearly all of their adjusted net income to shareholders via aggressive share buybacks. In 2024, Mastercard and Visa shares gained 23% and 21%, respectively, mirroring the S&amp;P 500's performance. 
However, Huang notes that Visa has taken the early lead in 2025, benefiting from investors' appetite for U.S. growth and a reduced regulatory overhang.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Valuation Puzzle</h2>
Network multiples have expanded, with Mastercard trading at 33x forward earnings versus Visa's 28x. 
While both remain in line with their historical premium to the S&amp;P 500, Huang points out that Mastercard's higher multiple reflects its stronger growth profile, while Visa's relative value case is gaining traction.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Verdict</h2>
Huang isn't picking sides, maintaining an Overweight rating on both stocks. Mastercard's growth premium looks sustainable, but Visa's relative value and easing regulatory risks could make it the safer bet. 
Investors have a choice—go big with Visa or go fast with Mastercard. Either way, it's a battle of titans worth watching.

Visa Vs. Mastercard: The Battle For Payment Supremacy Heats Up

Billionaire Elon Musk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/04/31810229/elon-musk-bought-twitter-1-year-ago-a-look-back-at-whats-happened-since-and-what-could-be-next">paid $44 billion </a>to acquire social media platform Twitter, which he later rebranded to X.
The valuation of the platform <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42271676/fidelity-raises-valuation-of-elon-musks-x-but-its-still-worth-72-less-than-his-buyout-price">has declined sharply</a> since the 2022 purchase with Fidelity marking the value down by 72% as of December.
A new report shows a secondary deal for the company has pushed its valuation back to where Musk took the company private.
What Happened: X is once again worth $44 billion, a valuation that comes with Musk sharing improving financials for the company and advertisers like Apple and Amazon.com returning to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/01/43373012/elon-musk-bringing-advertisers-back-to-x-amazon-boosts-spending-apple-considers-return"> spending on the platform.</a>
A secondary deal completed earlier this month valued the company at $44 billion, according to a new Financial Times <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/d4616dec-c4c7-417f-8549-134710bbc5b1">report</a>.
The report said the social media company could also be raising up to $2 billion in a primary round, looking to pay off some of the company's debt.
Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-19/elon-musk-s-x-raises-close-to-1-billion-in-fresh-equity-funding">reported </a>Wednesday that X raised around $1 billion in new equity from investors including Musk, valuing the company at close to what the billionaire originally paid. Darsana Capital Partners, who bought some of X's debt in recent months, participated in the equity round, according to the report.

</ul>
While X's revenue has dropped since Musk took the company private, a recent report showed an improvement in recent months to revenue and showed that adjusted EBITDA was also improving.
As Benzinga recently reported, large banks that helped finance the Twitter buyout have been stuck holding their debt in the company longer than they typically do on large buyout deals like Musk's. A quick declining value led to bankers seeing lower valuation for their debt and reasons to hold on until things improved.
Lenders sold off their debt recently with values of 90 to 95 cents on the dollar and in some cases at original value, which comes on top of interest payments the banks have already received.

Why It's Important: One of the items helping X's valuation is likely the company's stake in artificial intelligence start-up xAI. Musk offered a 25% stake in xAI to investors who helped back the original Twitter purchase.
X is also nearing the launch of X Money, the company's push into digital wallets and peer-to-peer payments as part of Musk's plan to have the company part of an "everything app." Visa Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/V#NYSE">V</a>) was named as the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/01/43277294/visa-stock-moves-higher-as-company-becomes-first-partner-of-musks-xmoney-whats-going-on"> company's first partner </a>for X Money back in January.
In February, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/44022369/exclusive-if-x-went-public-today-would-it-be-worth-75-billion-or-less-than-20-billion-poll-says-this-amount">Benzinga asked readers </a>what value they thought was appropriate for X.
&#8220;What do you believe is a fair valuation for X (formerly Twitter)?&#8221; Benzinga asked.
The results were:
<ul>
<li>Less than $20 Billion: 45%</li>
<li>$41-$75 Billion: 24%</li>
<li>Over $75 Billion: 16%</li>
<li>$21-$40 Billion: 15%</li>
</ul>
Nearly half of the voters in the poll said X should be valued at less than $20 billion, which would represent a valuation of less than half of what Musk paid for the company back in 2022.
The next highest vote-getter was the $41 to $75 billion range at 24%. Over $75 billion ranked third at 16%. This means that 40% of voters think X should be valued at $41 billion or more.
While that&#8217;s good news, the majority (60%) see X valuation fairly valued at $40 billion or less today.
Musk&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/22/10/29334819/elon-musk-sees-long-term-potential-in-twitter-despite-obviously-overpaying-for-it" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">previously shared optimism&nbsp;</a>for X and its future valuation.
"I see a clear, but difficult, path to a &lt;$250B valuation," he said.
Benzinga readers don&#8217;t see X&#8217;s valuation getting there yet, but perhaps Musk will be proven right someday.
The new valuation for X could boost Musk&#8217;s wealth, which has taken a hit in 2025. Musk is ranked as the world's richest person by <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/?sref=TBDibEcD">Bloomberg </a>with a wealth of $303 billion. Musk has lost $130 billion in wealth in 2025 with shares of Tesla Inc down 38% year-to-date in 2025.

(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/V#NYSE">V</a>) and recommends buying the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/V/analyst-ratings">stock on the dip</a>.
The banking behemoth, on March 11, launched a new initiative aimed at tackling complex scams and preventing massive financial losses, per recent news.

Jason Snipe of Odyssey Capital Advisors said he likes Blackstone Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BX#NYSE">BX</a>), which is down 20% year-to-date.

Visa, Eli Lilly, Blackstone And A Real Estate Stock On CNBC's 'Final Trades'

CNBC Halftime Report Final Trades: Visa, Blackstone, Eli Lilly and Company, Invitation Homes

The company recently reported that it has 24.23 million shares sold short, which is 1.41% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.46 days to cover their short positions on average.
<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.

You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
