SCHD has underperformed the past few years because of fixed income and money market funds offering 5%. When yields go down SCHD will perform better again. Buy and hold

[Skalkservative]

I just got to my first share of SCHD only got 80 cents but I’m excited to build it up and get that snowball!

Total returns last 10 years this includes bull and bear cycles and low and high rates
VOO: 12.82%
SCHD: 10.80%

[seinensenpai]

$491 boys it felt good, keep the good fight. I'm reinvesting that payment right into VOO.

[DanGaskell]

Today was a good day for my SCHD DRIP. I've got about 620 shares so a nice payoff.

[Royals_Mindset]

I can't wait to add more SCHD to my portfolio, nice video... 🎯

[harlibassham]

My biggest holding SCHD. I don’t know if this is a good thing or bad thing. It hasn’t done much lately. I’m retired and that’s why I own it.

Schd is a decent hedge but your moneys better off in Voo or any growth etf if you’ve got a long term outlook.

AND TO YOUR 242.. im pulling 2.24 BLESS YOU!! Love the content

To get the dividend of $247.23, you would need 300 stocks at $77.4299, worth $23, 228.94.

Got SCHD and SCHX paired long term. Around a 70/30 ratio since I want more growth with SCHX. A few years ago I was focused on mostly dividends with Individual stocks, but have decided to change my approach and go with more of a dividend+ growth hybrid approach. Best of both worlds and the 2 funds don't really overlap.

SCHD is the bond replacement in my portfolio

[thomaschew]

I opened up a schwab account in January and have to date 40 shares of SCHD. The dividend bought me about a half share. I have set the goal of 6 shares per month for now would like to up that until I have 500 shares. 500 shares is my 4 year goal. At that point will add another fund to my account ( i have investments in my 401K, spouse has a 403B and I have a few other funds in schwab but there SCHD is my focus for now..

[Strike_Three]

If someone is retired and has a substantial nest egg after investing in VOO, would it be safer to transfer the entire nest egg into SCHD and start living off the dividends, or would it be better to just leave it in VOO. Looking for income with principal protection and not so much the maximum return at this point?

[ShOwStOpprr]

So refreshing to see such a positive perspective on SCHD, , just watched a video by "Viktoriya media" channel who craps all over it and recommends chucking it in the trash can for something else...

[cmurill]

SCHD is my bond allocation in my portfolio 40%
The other 60% is SCHG and VOO

When the market drops 50% you’ll be glad you bought SCHD

2025 is going to be a tough year in my opinion
nice job
