An Individual Is Ready To Invest $10,000 And Turns To Reddit For Advice: 'I'm Looking For A Decent Yield And A Little Growth'
One Redditor finds themselves in that position. The individual is set to have $10,000 sometime next week and has been following the Dividends subreddit for a while. Now, after consuming content from the group for a while, the Redditor is looking for advice.
"I'm looking for a decent yield and a little growth," the Redditor explained when asking for recommendations.

In addition to the immediate $10,000 investment, the Redditor aims to invest $250 each month. Other Redditors shared their thoughts in the comments.
One commenter suggested staggering the $10,000 investment instead of putting it all into the market at once. This approach can help the Redditor capitalize on any price dips instead of unloading all of their capital and watching their assets lose value.
Many investors on Reddit seem to be jittery about the recent trade war. The popular consensus on Reddit is that the market will continue to tank, and that fear showed up again in the comments.
Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets.
An investor who wants to dollar cost average as the market goes down may want to consider breaking the $10,000 investment into several investments. The amount of times you break down the $10,000 should depend on your risk tolerance, your thoughts about current prices, and what you think the stock market will look like in five to 10 years.
The original poster mentioned some ETFs and received comments that suggested some ETFs as well. The Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF (NYSE:SCHD) was the first ETF the original poster mentioned. It's no surprise to see SCHD mentioned in the Dividends subreddit since it seems to be a fan favorite.
The SPDR S&P 500 Trust (NYSE:SPY), JPMorgan Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF (NASDAQ:JEPQ), and the JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF (NYSE:JEPI) were some of the other ETFs that were mentioned in the post and the comments.However, these recommendations don't mean much since we don't know much about the Redditor. One of the top commenters pointed this out.
'What to invest in depends a lot on your personal situation. You didn't provide any details about age, income, investment objectives (other than decent yield and a little growth, which is a relative idea), risk tolerance, jurisdiction, investment currency, etc., so it's hard for any meaningful advice to be given."
The best stocks and ETFs for one person may be different from the best assets for another person. Some people pursue high-yield stocks as they get closer to retirement, while others buy growth stocks when they are younger to maximize their potential returns. Personal details like risk tolerance and income play a role in which stocks and ETFs make sense for you.

Costco's Pepsi-to-Coke switch goes viral as members sound off
Costco's decision to switch from Pepsi to Coca-Cola became a viral conversation when the membership warehouse club announced it was making the swap from one carbonated soft drink to the other. Members were mixed on social media as the swap was finalized by Tuesday, with some saying on a Reddit thread that 'Pepsi tastes like flat Coca Cola' and 'Hot dogs don't taste the same anymore without Pepsi.' Advertisement 'If this isn't a sign of the apocalypse then I don't know what is,' another person posted on X. Others, however, welcomed the change, which began rolling out across Costco warehouses in early July, posting on X that 'Coke is so much better.' The company previously noted that all of its food courts will offer Coca-Cola products by the fall. Costco CEO Ron Vachris said in January the company would be 'converting our food court fountain business back over to Coca-Cola' this summer. The company has offered Pepsi products since 2013. Advertisement 3 Costco's food courts have started switching from Pepsi to Coca-Cola. Getty Images 3 Costco members had mixed reactions to the soda switch. AFP via Getty Images 3 The rollout of Coca-Cola products began in early July. jetcityimage – Food courts are one of the company's many ancillary businesses, which are credited for encouraging members to make trips to the warehouse retailer more often. Advertisement Manhattan-based psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert told FOX Business that this struck a nerve with so many because they saw it as more than a simple soda swap. 'Coke vs. Pepsi has always been a cultural dividing line, like Yankees vs. Red Sox or Apple vs. PC,' he said. 'People attach memories, family traditions, and even a sense of who they are to a brand. So when Costco suddenly took sides, it triggered a reaction far bigger than soda itself.'
