See underlying company dividends in ETF
I firmly believe in the Bogle way, however, I like learning about the underlying companies that I hold. It's much more interesting to think about how I theoretically have a clam on XY company and look up their financials, than just see a number of 'Vanguard Units' in my brokerage. I can't be the only Boglehead that has a spreadsheet of the most recent underlying holdings of the vanguard ETFs I own, with the weights for each stock. I wanted to know if maybe I'm just crazy or if this is something that others also have an interest in? Additionally, does anyone else wish they could see the individual dividends of the underlying holdings get paid, even in accumulating funds, ie not actually have the cash paid into my account, but have my Vanguard Brokerage account tell me that with my number of ETF units I 'earned $X.xx in dividends today from Apple' even though it stayed within the accumulation fund and I never actually saw the cash?
