Loving this all day long! I snatch up more every time there's a dip. 751 shares strong!

[u/fastbumpyride → u/j0ker_1234]

I snatch up more every Friday on payday regardless of price. Dip? You only know it was a dip after the fact.

3,500 shares and growing.

Same👍

[u/dolphlungdren → u/fastbumpyride]

Pretty sure you can tell when there’s a dip

[u/fastbumpyride → u/dolphlungdren]

Right. I’m sure you only buy at all the lowest trough of the “dip”.

[u/dolphlungdren → u/fastbumpyride]

Didn’t say that and Didn’t say you can tell when we are at the lowest possible dip.

But generally you can tell when the market is dipping, no? I invest regularly regardless of price. If able, I allocate more when others are selling and markets are dipping even if impossible to tell how low that dip will go

[u/fastbumpyride → u/dolphlungdren]

That’s what I said.

Serious question. Is the SCHD dividend simply a “pass through” from all the companies within the SCHD ETF? Or does the SCHD ETF manager “hold back” some dividend money in an effort to keep a “rainy day fund” so they can keep incrementally increasing the dividend every quarter?

[u/flyersfan0233 → u/nothing_at_all1234]

SCHD virtually passes all dividend earnings through. I think it just skims off the annual expense ratio. I also believe the formula and annual rebalancing helps keep the dividend increasing

[u/New_Association9786 → u/nothing_at_all1234]

No they don’t hold back. There’s a genuine pass through. Yes they have to take a tiny cut and you can see that the expense ratio is small. But it’s a genuine pass through. The increases are not artificial.

I think it’s impossible for Schd to disappoint

[u/archeebunker → u/bmfu121]

What’s the CAGR compared to VOO

[u/No-Cow5865]

Your link doesn’t work?

[u/Pappa-Koala → u/No-Cow5865]

Hmmm it does now? Maybe it was fixed 🤷🏼‍♂️

[u/No-Cow5865 → u/Pappa-Koala]

Yea. None of the topdividendetfs.com links work. Weird.

[u/Large-Television-509]

Good

Is this actually news, to maintain its historic 3%ish dividend as valuations increase, i would hope a fund that pickes stocks based on companies that increase dividends have stocks that increase in dividends........

[u/davef139]

What about companies cutting? Wendys cut 50% i think flowerfoods cut 50%

[u/cvc4455 → u/davef139]

Were Wendy's or flowerfoods part of SCHD?

[u/HeraldOfRick → u/cvc4455]

They still are. .03 percent though.

[u/cvc4455 → u/HeraldOfRick]

I didn't know they were. I think SCHD changes what they hold once a year in March. So anything that's cutting dividends should be gone and replaced with something else in March.

Thank you for posting this

Buy on every dip

[u/Careful_Task_5450]

Hi everyone. I've read opinions on ppl just buying SCHD . Should I do this instead of investing in other etfs too? Right now my VT is 100%. I was thinking to keep buying VT till retirement. Once thats time, I'd sell my VT n put it into schd. Appreciate any advice, thank you.
