In this video we’re going to take a look at an article that went viral on Seeking Alpha just a couple days ago about SCHD. The article titled “There's Almost Never Any Reason To Own This ETF” lays out a handful of arguments again for investing in SCHD, even calling it a subpar place to allocate capital. So let’s take a look and see if there really is no good reason to hold SCHD if your dividend portfolio.

I'm curious, for someone with around $50,000 to invest, how would you recommend we enter the market? I am looking study some traders and copy their strategy rather than investing myself and losing money emotionally. What's your take on this approach?

The S&P 500 finished down 20% in 2022. This means long term investors have a great starting point in 2023. Here are 4 very popular ETF’s: $VOO- S&P 500 fund $VTI- Total US stock market $QQQ- High growth, tech $SCHD- Growth + Dividends| I just tallied my dividends for the year;$167k Blessed and grateful, disciplined and focused.

Started my portfolio last year with SCHD, VOO, and VUG after watching one of your videos. In terms of share price, VOO is way up (22.25%) and VUG is waaaaay up (39.62%). Thanks for the education!

If I had $360k I would invest $100k in tech & $260k into dividend stock with a proven track record to grow with capital appreciation & dividend increase year over year

My portfolio doesn’t just cater to dividend stocks. I hold $VFIAX (S&P 500 index fund) in my Roth IRA and $VTI (Total Stock Market ETF) in my taxable brokerage account. Two of my largest holdings. The individual dividend stock positions all complement the index holdings.

I think investors should always put their cash to work, especially In 2024, we'll start to see more market diversification. I'm hoping to invest about $350k of my savings in stocks against next year. Hope to make millions in 2024

Dividends from SCHD are typically taxed at the qualified dividend rate, which may be lower than ordinary income tax rates for many investors. However, the main focus for markets now is Nvidia, which has powered a large chunk of the S&P 500’s recent earnings. Nvidia’s stock, up more than 90% this year, rose 2.5% in New York on Monday, sending the Nasdaq 100 index to another record high. I'm still looking for companies to make additions to my $350K portfolio, to boost performance. Here for ideas...

My dividend journey began when I realized that two particular expenses in my budget were always going to go up and never go down. The two expenses were taxes and insurance. I realized that the dramatic rise in both will need some added income. So, I started buying shares paying dividends. I can now see that this will be the path I need to take to make sure those two expenses will not overtake my future income.

Dividends are dope. Personally, I sometimes use my dividends to buy other dividend and growth stocks for diversification instead of reinvesting in the same stock. To each their own methods though. The good thing is that you’re investing in the first place and that’s what’s important. Salute for the content!

I am at the beginning of my "investment journey", planning to put 85K into dividend stocks so that I will be making up to 30% per year in dividend returns. Any advice?
-
I totally agree with this video. My $400,000 portfolio on SCHD is down by approximately 20%, any recommendations to scale up my returns before retirement will be highly appreciated.
-
Comparing SCHD and QQQ is like apples and oranges.
-
I like that schd is not growing fast. That give me the opportunity to build a larger position.

Saw the article on SA, read a few paragraphs and closed it. Then I went and bought some more

I’m mostly in cash and waiting for the market to re-level on the reality of our situation. Or are there any ways I can avoid a crunch and maximize my savings of $250k? I know election years are positive for the stock markets about 90% of the time.
-
Am I the only one that thinks these articles are just propaganda to make people sell shared to lower the share price? I know insider trading is illegal, however bashing a stock with negative articles is fair game. I mean we all know someone is selling schd because of that article.

90% of Seeking Alpha is clickbait.
-
I hold SCHD for the dividend but also for its strength during market draw downs. It holds up like a bond.
-
Just a clickbait article. He got the eyeballs he wanted. SCHD isn’t for me, but it’s a fine option overall depending on your goals and method.
-
People on SA write about SCHD because it gets clicks. Doesn't matter if it's bullish or bearish.
