r/SCHD

I am confused why all of a sudden SCHD including DGRO acting like a growth stock. Did I miss something big?

I’m a 40-year-old male who’s ready to retire abroad. I live a very minimalist lifestyle. I’m planning to invest $500,000 in SCHD, $250,000 in JEPQ, and another $250,000 in JEPI. I still have my Roth IRA and continue to contribute $7,500 annually. Do you think this is a good investment strategy? Thank you for your advice. 🙏

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%

I'm seeing SCHD is one of the best performing ETFs whenever SPY, NASDAQ, TECH related equities are down.

this alone makes it super attractive for me, I started investing on it only recently, today I was so pleasently surprised by the performance, I don't even care about the dividends. so I'm thinking a portfolio distribution of 70% QQQ or SPMO and 30% SCHD should both capture growth and protect against drawdowns.

or are you guys for the dividends only?

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 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.

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

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.

SCHD, SCHX, QQQM, SOXX, SPYI, and TSPY. This portfolio has been killing it the 3 to 5 years. Its has beat the SP 500 on a consistent basis. What are thoughts on my portfolio? All comments and suggestions or welcomed.

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.

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!
