But there are still lots of companies keep increasing dividend payout every year, so I think it's time to be selective. It's easier to do with individual stocks.

Right now ETFs account less than 30% in my stock+ETF holdings.Regarding what to invest, I would say a better choice will be a low cost mutual funds. But it also depends on how you want to invest. If you want to buy a small amount every month so you don't have to worry about entering the market at wrong time with a big initial investment, then ETF definitely isn't a good choice because you will have to pay a commission every time you make a purchase (unless you buy it through Zecco which doesn't charge commissions). Besides, you usually don't have to pay any extra fees (besides the fund's ER) if you buy a fund through the fund company. If you just want to make a large one time purchase, then ETF may be better because over the long term, the cost of owning ETF is lower than owning a mutual fund. Investing in individual stocks, in my opinion, is much riskier than investing in funds. I didn’t start investing in ETFs till 2005 (ETF wasn’t popular back then anyway) and was very aggressive.
