Thanks for mentioning that Hess, LP.
I prefer to keep my dividend Income low by retaining profits untaxed in my growth investments, such as BRK. An investor can always sell shares if he needs cash.
As I've often said, most investors *should* stick with moderate dividend payers but mainly because such sensible stocks are less likely to be scammy. Scams rarely pay dividends. OTOH, some ultra high div stocks are scams too.
"Buy Quality and Diversify." I'd be leery of gimmicky ETNs especially those that display high payouts that are unlikely to endure.
