RE:increased dividend?Bear market not over yet so I expect any prudent CEO of anything other than energy plays, will not be raising divvy at least until markets actually firm up.
Charts of Option ETF's ZWU, ZWC, ZWB all show they are not immune to considerable price slippage during market down turns. All of the above were cut by at least 1/3 during the pandemic plunge.
If you buy during a bottom black swan event, the charts show that is about the only time they could be considered care free long term investments. Buying now, well above pre-pandemic highs, still risks downside movement and loss of capital.
