Shares of companies in the broader financial services sector are trading lower as stocks pull back after surging Wednesday following President Trump's tariff pause announcement.

Investing in dividend-paying <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44565770/30-year-old-with-65k-in-stocks-sparks-debate-focusing-mostly-on-etfs-but-now-betting-on-bonds-small-caps-and-international-plays">stocks</a> is a widespread strategy for those pursuing a regular income and long-term wealth growth.
Many investors, especially those looking for stability, prefer <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44551261/early-retiree-making-17000-a-year-in-dividends-shares-top-7-stock-picks-says-ive-zero-regrets">dividends</a> because they generate regular payouts, often perceived as a safer choice than growth-focused assets. While dividend stocks may not always offer huge returns, they can act as a reliable income stream, particularly during market downturns or job loss.

For young investors, building a dividend portfolio early can compound significantly in the long run. A 23-year-old investor recently turned to Reddit for advice on his $75,000 portfolio, sparking a debate on the best strategy.
The investor has built an impressive portfolio generating $1,828 in annual dividend income. His holdings include a combination of dividend stocks, ETFs, and alternative assets like crypto and gold.
Investing $1,000 per week, the poster shared that he believes in sacrificing when you&#8217;re young for the life you want to live later: &#8220;My motto is &#8216;Work hard now so you can live life to its fullest when it&#8217;s harder.&#8217; The idea is to have additional income so that even if your job pays worse down the line, you&#8217;re not fu&#8211;ed. I&#8217;ve already made close to $15,000 in investments. The rest was money I invested over a few years. So $60,000.&#8221;

The 23-year-old&#8217;s strategy leans heavily on dividends, but besides sharing his picks, he&#8217;s also asked the members of the online discussion board for the best approach on optimizing his portfolio further. The r/Dividends community has jumped to the comment section to share its insights and suggestions, which circled around investing in growth-focused assets rather than dividends for now and shifting to dividends down the road.
Still, many commenters congratulated the young investor on his picks, so let&#8217;s dive deeper into those.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing Citizens Financial Group's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure.

According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Citizens Financial Group's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.87%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
