Is it better yo focus on buying individual dividend stocks or Eric's with a dividend payout? Say for example if I only got $200/month to put into my account.

>Eric's

what

Sorry I typed ETF and autocorrect just changes it.

It doesn't matter in your situation since $200/mo is nothing.

But to answer your question, ETF's will have lower payouts due to management fees and less risk.

If your ETF has management fees over 0.2% you're doing it wrong. If you buy small amounts of more than one or two stocks the trading fees would exceed the ETF management fee already.

>using anything other than robinhood in 2018

>paying commission on $200 monthly purchases

The OP is hopefully smart enough to use robinhood

There's certain categories of ETF where nothing gets that low.
