The S&P 500 retreated on Friday from its record high set the previous day. The index posted a 0.3% weekly loss, snapping its two-week win streak.

High-yield S&P 500 stocks can be risky, but 14 "safer" S&P 500 dividend dogs have strong free cash flow to support payouts and are attractive buys.

IXUS offers broad international diversification, low expenses, a higher yield, and a favorable PEG ratio, making it a compelling core holding. Technical analysis confirms a long-term breakout with bullish momentum, though some resistance and seasonal caution are warranted.
