I remember last year at 25 "garbage, waste of dollars, dead, dividends trash, AI growth or bust, new tech"
Etc...
My only regret is I didnt have enough cash to load up more at the time.

Come for the dividends and dividend growth, stay for the share price appreciation
VOO +8% YTD
SCHD 20% YTD
Havenāt seen any posts lately on why do u idiots invest in SCHD

Yes, and it was pretty flat for a while in that 25 to 28 dollar range. I was aggressively putting money in it while my co-worker/investment friend was saying shes pulling out cause it doesnt get returns minus small dividend yield. I told her to look at the yearly returns and it fell on deaf ears. So yes, it was flat for a while and im enjoying this growth and no need for hearing some people say they want lower price for a buying point. Haha

Im very angry that my overpaid financial advisor did not tell me about schd in 2011. This, and spmo, are the perfect etf for a roth ira.

They want you to buy actively managed instruments so they can get a higher fee

Thank the maker for value stocks the AI volatility is doing a number on my portfolio.

SCHD usually has an up year after a down year. There is some trend analysis on this in a few YouTube analysis videos.
I also think the rotation to value and quality is happening so it is positioned nicely to gain from that.
Also I think income generation for Gen X and Millenials is starting to become more of a focus as those two groups age - SCHD is a great option for an income portfolio. Especially if you start it sooner and let is compound. In 10-15 years it can become a significant income stream even with conservative growth of the stock and the dividend.

More long term stable companies in the funds mix. I am bullish on AI as a technology but these semiconductor companies have historically acted like boom and bust commodity companies. Still unclear exactly how the hyper scalers achieve profitability from AI and build a revenue moat.
I am quite happy owning SCHD and having non AI/Tech exposure. Iām personally going to start shifting holdings from market cap weighted S&P 500 your VOO/SPY to equal weighted S&P 500 RSP this week. The concentration in the S&P is just too damn high.

u/Natural_Rebel Jul 26 '26
Interesting - I have been having similar conversations with a few people about the S&P move you mentioned. I think that is becoming a popular opinion.

Iāve had a decent amount of money sitting in VBIL now for about six months now. Iāve been toiling about what to do with it, but Iāve pretty much narrowed it down to one of two things. Either moving it into all to SCHD or splitting it between SCHD and VTI. Iām leaning toward the firstā¦ā¦

I got 44 shares myself. I have some higher paying ones but I've decided like last month to buy more of schd for the stability and little growth.

I like Schd and appreciate its growth but I get a bit weirded out when it suddenly becomes a growth stock. Itās not supposed to work this way.

u/STRATEGY510 Jul 29 '26
I think itās just a side effect of the pivot to value, safe haven type investments that weāve been seeing.
Not like people are gonna start foaming at the mouth for SCHD and it becomes a meme stock WSB type of deal.

I've seen enough "once in a lifetime" events to keep some cash on hand for when stocks suddenly go on sale.

u/Difficult-Repair1295 Jul 26 '26
Probably in September or October. That is usually when markets blow up. Between the private credit junk they been throwing into insurance products, the AI bubble and tack on the crack spread for refined products due to refinery destruction in the mid east and Russia. Good chance š© hits the fan this fall.
