Biting the (Federal Reserve) bullet and selling two yield ETFs out of my Dividend Portfolio

2020 was a great year for Dividend investing: my Dividend Portfolio showed a total return of 15.71% for 2020

It’s unusual, to say the least, to have a dividend portfolio match the returns on the Standard & Poor’s 500–especially in a year when the S&P 500 was setting an all time high–but that’s what happened in 2020. My Dividend Portfolio showed a price gain of 12.28% for 2020. Add in the 3.43% dividend yield and the total return for the portfolio for the year was 15.71.%  For the year the S&P 500 returned 16% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average returned 7%.
