Key Points

  • MarketBeat's screener flagged five top dividend names by recent dollar trading volume: SQQQ, TSLL, NKE, CVX, and BX.
  • Investors should weigh dividend yield, payout ratio and dividend-growth history, and keep in mind that dividends are not guaranteed and can be reduced or eliminated.
  • Two entries—ProShares UltraPro Short QQQ (SQQQ) and Direxion Daily TSLA Bull 2X (TSLL)—are leveraged/inverse ETFs with daily targets (SQQQ = -3x Nasdaq‑100, TSLL = 2x Tesla) and are designed for short‑term trading rather than traditional dividend buy‑and‑hold exposure.
  • Five stocks to consider instead of ProShares UltraPro Short QQQ.
