I see very few stocks worth buying or holding, making it challenging to find opportunities in a market full of threats.

VYM has appreciated 17% in the past year, with a total return of 20.60%, surpassing high-yield ETFs like JEPI and XYLD. The risks include opportunity cost and macroeconomic factors, but VYM's strong portfolio and dividend growth history make it a strategic investment.
