DGRO focuses on dividend growth but dismisses valuation. The average P/FCF sits at 27x, which seems too optimistic. So-called growth stocks are often overvalued; total return and valuation are crucial for sustainable high returns. High market valuations pose significant downside risks; historical examples show markets will swing from exuberance to panic over time.

The market is rotating towards non-tech dividend stocks, with dividend ETFs outperforming the Magnificent 7 so far this year. Elon Musk's DOGE initiative is more political theater than a serious effort, in my opinion, to reduce government waste, with exaggerated savings claims.
