Dividends have served me very well so far in my life -- and I'm not even retired yet. Like many people, I underestimated them for a long time. They just came along with many of the stocks I bought. I've had multiyear periods when I was plowing as much money as I could into my long-term portfolio, and periods when I just didn't have much or any extra cash to invest.

Image source: Getty Images The average 30-year mortgage rate in the United States is just under 7% as of this writing, but it wasn't too long ago when rates below 4% -- and even 3% -- were the industry standard. Many people will tell you things like "4% mortgage rates are never coming back." But it wasn't that long ago that things like 5% CD yields seemed completely unrealistic -- until they happened in 2023 for the first time in decades.

But retailers have found one way to draw in customers at Thanksgiving the last few years, and that's by offering special Thanksgiving meal deals. Many major retailers, including Costco, Target, and Sam's Club, are getting in on the action.

Any way you look at it, the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) is absolutely crushing it these days. And it isn't just a post-election phenomenon. The S&P has skyrocketed well over 50% since the beginning of 2023. Are S&P 500 index exchange-traded funds (ETFs) investors' best bets as the year draws to a close? I don't think so. Instead, I predict that one Vanguard ETF will outperform the S&P 500 over the next 12 months.
