It depends on your goals, time horizon and tax situation. Income-focused investors often weigh yield and payment frequency, while long-term investors usually compare total return and fees. Dividend Duel is an educational tool and does not provide investment advice.
Payment frequency describes the schedule, not the sustainability of income. Compare the range of recorded payments, drawdowns and total return, and review the issuer's option strategy separately.
