For all those out there with a hunger for dividend income I wanted to pose a question and get a discussion going around it cause I'm honestly curious. Many people invest in either $VANGUARD FTSE CDN HIGH DIVID YIELD TRUST UNIT(VDY.CA)$ or $ISHARES S&P/TSX COMPOSITE HIGH DIV UNITS(XEI.CA)$ when looking for dividends from the Canadian market but why isn't $HDIV the more sought after option? If you compare total returns it crushes the other two while paying you more cash on a monthly basis that you can decide to reinvest or use on a monthly basis. Thoughts? What do you personally invest in and why? $ISHARES S&P/TSX 60 INDEX ETF UNIT(XIU.CA)$ $VANGUARD INVESTMENTS CANADA INC S&P 500 INDEX ETF(VFV.CA)$
