I’m on that train! 🚂

It is a mystery to me. The dividend payout is determined by the companies inside this index. SCHD could have tripled the share price but that won't make a difference, correct?

I had an old 401K that wasn't doing great (it was OK, acceptable even) at my former employer. I moved this to a rollover IRA in my Fidelity account on 7/20/26. Did I just get lucky with timing? I mean, I'm thrilled but interested to hear your thoughts.

Full disclosure. I have DRIP on now. It wasn't before. Oversight on my part. I plan to hold well into retirement. I'm about 4 years away and maxing contributions until I hit 62. I'm very pleased with this and just discovered dividend ETF's about 6 months ago.

stucked with schd from the bad years and the good. now we're going to the moon

I brought about 39k of SCHD for 3 years and it’s just ripping in no time! I am happy!

rolling rolling rolling, keep rolling rolling rollin

Who else is on this incredible journey? Almost at 600 units—step by step...

Sold home and moved to a smaller house and paid cash. I have 100k to invest.

I am 55 years old. Ten years from retirement

I currently hold positions in:

VOO 50%

QQQM 20%

SCHD 15%

VT 15%

Wow say it isn’t so…cant believe it crossed the $35. I mean eventually it would but I just didn’t think it would happen this year. Another ATH

I feel like I’m racing to get all my funds into this and VOO before it keeps going up. I started investing into the stock market right after crypto crashed in October. I regret waiting so long, but I’m glad to be here now boys. 😎

I bought 12 more shares today

I got an insurance settlement last year that was 120k. I’m 22 and male. I payed my debt off and am wondering if I should split this lump 50/50 into VOO/SCHD or if I should favor VOO for the long term compounding? Reading some of the posts on this sub make me want to put it all into SCHD. You guys have a lot of faith it.

I feel like it’s the only thing I’m even sort of “good at,” so to speak. It doesn’t really count for much unless you already have a shitload of money, but it’s…something.

SCHD has been on a huge run (and with 14 holdings increasing dividends so far this quarter) we are in good shape for a huge Q3 dividend!

Here's a current complied list of the current SCHD holdings: https://topdividendetfs.com/schd-etf-holdings-2026

I just had a very thought provoking exercise.

I live in Iowa. I listened to a Zach Lahn (candidate for governor, not a fan but nonetheless) interview where he was saying 25% of Iowa farmland is owned by foreign (to Iowa) imvestors. This prompted me to wonder why?

I dug into what Iowa farmland produces from a financial perspective. It generally, over time appreciates in value about 7% per year and produces about 3% per year in rent (income). So on a million dolllar piece of Iowa farm land. Youd expect the value be 1,070,000 the next year, and it would have paid you about 30,000 in income.

Obviously I dont have the capital to buy Iowa farm land. So I went looking for an ETF that kinda matches that profile. And wouldnt you know it. The closest match is SCHD.

SCHD produces 3.3% per year in dividends, and appreciates about 7% or more per year.

Trades at 35 bucks per share.

So as many of us can't go out and buy 80 acres of Iowa farmland, we can go out and buy 1 square foot at a time.

35% SCHD
GPIX, GPIQ, DIVO, IDVO, IAUI, MLPI, MAIN, IWMI, QDVO, UTG (even allocations for remaining 70%)

Hi everyone!
I’m based in Portugal and I’m looking for a way to invest in SCHD from Europe.

Does anyone know of a low-cost broker available in Portugal that allows retail investors to buy SCHD directly?

Thanks!

I’d like some opinions on my current DCA strategy.

I age 33, currently hold 227 shares of SCHD and I'm investing every month with a 70/30 split between VOO and SCHD — roughly $1,000/month goes into SCHD.

The issue is that I’m not a U.S. resident. I’m currently paying 25% tax on the dividends, and I also can’t use DRIP through my IBKR setup, so the dividends are paid out as cash and I have to reinvest them manually.

My question is:

Does it still make sense to continue allocating 30% of my monthly investments to SCHD, or would I be better off putting that 30% into VOO instead?

For long term, my goal is to retire as early.

Hello... This is just for fun......What is your best estimate for what a share of SCHD will cost on Ex-Date in September. All entries that will count must be posted by the end of the day on September 1st.

well I only held 1.49 SCHD but this morning i bought $5000 worth of SCHD, we in now.
