    Dividend shares are again in focus while investors continue to look at rate volatility and look for safe investments.

    Victoria Greene, founder and CIO of G Squared Private Wealth, told CNBC in a recent interview that dividend shares and gold are good options for covering risks and market volatility.

    About five months ago, someone asked investors at R/Dividenden – a Reddit community with 690,000 followers – whether someone had invested $ 1 million in dividend shares and how much they earned every month. The question received more than 200 comments, where many investors share interesting success stories and advice. A certain comment attracted our attention.

    An investor said he had invested around $ 1.05 million in dividend shares and earned $ 36,500 a year. The Redditor said he had invested another $ 50,000 in non-dividend shares such as Amazon and Apple.

    “While I am 46, I am retired. Since then not in the traditional, but since then, I do what I want on a regular basis and work 3 hours a day whenever I want,” he said in a separate post on Reddit. “Both my wife and my part -time jobs cover our costs. So I have reduced my exposure to the shares with a higher return and bought more dividend growth and growth shares that pay a dividend.”
