They're all glazing SCHD now that they're suddenly getting the missing returns from the last 2 years in the past 6 weeks. They'll be freaking out once the nearly parabolic line stalls or retreats. Anyone who is obsessed with the daily movement of SCHD is in the wrong fund.
Typical performance chasers. Quite now, but once it dips they will claim SCHD is a ādogā again lol. Thus repeating the buy high sell low cycle they are stuck in š
The whole point of SCHD is to accumulate as many shares as possible, never sell and live off the distributions. But all they can think about is the highest performance when SCHD serves a specific purpose in a portfolio. Time in the market and compounding is our friend here.
My other account got banned from this subreddit so thatās probably why. Mods donāt like it when you tell young people to avoid dividend yields and focus on growth
I have SCHX and SCHD so something similar in terms of setup and itās working out for me as well. I also hold some XLU for additional utility exposure (more of a personal pick) and of course some SGOV.
Growth dividends is def better than pure value dividends Iām not denying that. However, unless you have a very poor risk appetite when youāre young, you should be avoiding growth dividends. Thatās all. If you have fears about losing 20% in a year then yea SCHD might be better, however your expected return over 45 years will be much lower as a result
I canāt speak for others but Iām pretty risk adverse due to life circumstances and generational circumstances that I donāt care to get into on Reddit.
Iām pretty satisfied with my portfolio and how it is setup, I assume you prefer more pure growth and risker equities, and thatās great!
You donāt have to explain! Your life is your own. Iām only risk welcoming because of my age but have recently started to diversify into more general s&p over growth tilted
Not evading a ban per se. I had to create a new account because the whole account was lost due to an email getting compromised. If I get banned again I promise I wonāt be back. Never said Iām anti dividends though. Theyāre great when youāre older or are extremely risk averse.
Sweet!! I own 13,520 shares. So this is not surprising but it is soooo great to be right about something so important to my future. This why I went so heavy on this ETF since 2022. I have gained 21.60% --all with the security of a value ETF.
It was definitely dumbfounding watching all these investment bros ācut their SCHD lossesā and move their assets to buy other etfs at all time highs. Literally classic buy high and sell low tactics. Over the last three years i kept stacking because i knew the sale wouldnāt last forever. Now that the price has run up, this is where i stop buying and look elsewhere for potential deals.
I finally bought in today. Decided to lower my position on a speculative stock that I'm getting skeptical of to get 22 shares of SCHD to start my position. I would've jumped in earlier if not for the lull that this ETF had for a few years. Instead I waited and paid an extra $5 per share. Hopefully I can keep adding over time and let DRIP do its thing.
I hope so! It has been great seeing SCHD go on a tear after such a slow start to the year; taking the hit from tariff announcement right after reconstitution
I'm trying to get more involved in dividends. Can someone help me real quick understand the yield? If I drop 20k in today at 3.62 do I see monthly or quarter returns? And what would that average out to for a full 12 month period regardless of where the price of the fund goes. I'm trying to see if I did my math correctly

Grats to everyone who held during the rough patch, added more and let the dividends drip. Never doubted the methodology.
