Warren Buffett may be onto something. The best time to buy stocks in the past 12 months has been when there was extreme fear in the market.

@FASTGraphs just added Equity ETF support!
First thing I checked? $SCHD (of course)
Estimated dividends:
$1.14/share in 2026
$1.25 in 2027
$1.37 in 2028
What do you think about the estimates?
English
Well, well… look who just bought Macy’s $M? Warren Buffett 👀 $BRK.A
Remember when everyone was upset about $SCHD adding it?

Berkshire Hathaway just reduced their holdings from 41 down to 29. Here is every position in their portoflio:

@UltraRunner26 So true. I’ve got a 5k coming up next month!

@MarcosMillaYT It looks like $VUS has only paid a single quarterly dividend payment, in March 2026. If we extrapolate that payment out across four quarters, it results in a roughly 3% yield. It's worth watching in my opinion, but too early to draw meaningful conclusions on dividend growth.
English
In 5 years $VUS will continue to have a 3.5-4% yield with high growth that crushes $SCHD
it’s an ETF that no one is talking about…
The top holdings are:
1) $AAPL
2) $NVDA
3) $AVGO
4) $MSFT
5) $MU
AND IT PAYS A HIGH DIVIDEND WTF… OVER 3% to my knowledge…

@ianlopuch @OUPAcademic This is a huge benefit of ETFs that isn’t discussed enough, thanks for sharing this, Ian!
English
This incredible white paper shared by @OUPAcademic really solidified my passion for #ETFs such as $SCHD and $SCHY, for my personal dividend portfolio. This white paper titled "The Role of Taxes in the Rise of ETFs" illustrates how ETFs can implement position turnover while avoiding capital gains distributions. This one is worth reading and bookmarking. 🎓 This is a key distinction from traditional mutual funds and also individual stocks (that are actively managed). 💡 (Disc: I'm long $SCHD and $SCHY. Not investment advice. Not tax advice.) academic.oup.com/rfs/article/38…

@PositivelyPass1 @DilksJay Thank you! Yeah you both have great insights! And always appreciate what you guys have to say about $SCHD
English
Check this out 👀
Interesting perspective on $SCHD here. The comparison to the 2015-2019 stretch especially caught my attention.
Agree? Disagree? Think $SCHD may be setting up for a stronger multi year run from here or do you think it’s getting ahead of itself?👇
Jay Dilks@DilksJay
If you are an $SCHD owner, I believe there’s a nice setup developing but a little bit of sideways wakes the next move UP, stronger. It’s very unusual for the 70 and 80 RSI to be so close but a bit of sideways action for 4-6 weeks starts to rise the ceiling for a 4-5 year period of higher than usual returns. Perhaps we are looking at the 2015-2019 period where SCHD remained “overbought” for 3.5 years during a 41% rise. If you don’t own SCHD, it might be a great time to start a position in this $31-$32 area. I’d say the odds are starting to setup for SCHD to outperform the S&P 500 that is at a historically low period for Dividends. If you feel SCHD is overbought, when you zoom out , that’s a pretty straight line for more than a decade. It’s also a nice little “Cup and Handle” forming on the right side in the past year. But it as it has just a touch more to form the bottom of the handle. Not much so don’t freak out if you are a shareholder. If there’s a Summer Swoon in growth stocks, SCHD is a nice place to ride it out. Reinvest those dividends.

@SCHDETF $SCHG is lagging behind $QQQ because I initiated a position in it 30 days ago 😂
English
Why is $SCHG lagging $QQQ so much YTD? 🤔
Possible culprits:
• $QQQ benefited more from names like $MU and even $INTC. Neither are in $SCHG.
• Financials are down roughly 6% YTD 🔴 and $SCHG has financial exposure while $QQQ has none.
• $QQQ is more concentrated, so when a handful of Nasdaq giants rip, it pulls ahead faster.
• $SCHG owns nearly 200 stocks, so gains are spread across a broader basket.
What did I miss?
SCHD STAN | Craig@SCHDETF
As well as $VOO and $QQQ have done lately, $SCHD is still leading the pack so far in 2026. 👀 What’s really surprising to me is $SCHG. It usually performs much closer to $QQQ, but this year there’s been a pretty noticeable gap. YTD Total Returns 📈 🟠 $SCHD: +16.25% 🔵 $QQQ: +15.92% ⚫️ $VYM: +8.96% 🟣 $VOO: +8.46% 🟢 $FDVV: +5.81% 🔴 $DGRO: +5.65% 🤔 $SCHG: +4.73% Interesting year so far. What do you think is causing the gap between $SCHG and $QQQ?
English
Hey Craig, thanks for asking! I always appreciate thoughtful analysis from @DilksJay. After several years trailing behind the S&P 500, I could definitely see SCHD outperforming for the next few years.
And it's a good reminder to reset our expectations of what a 'good price' for $SCHD looks like, as that floor keeps rising with the dividends.

$schd holders showing haters how much its gained the past year:

@DividendGrowth I struggle with this. I want REIT exposure in my portfolio, but none of the REIT ETFs have had meaningful dividend growth, so I'm forced to own individual companies.
English
The Vanguard REIT Fund $VGSIX paid $0.77/share in annual dividends in 1997
Fast forward to 2025, and the same fund paid $1.11/share in annual dividends
REITs as a sector have essentially failed to grow real annual dividends for close to three whole decades
Buying a largely stagnant income stream is definitely not what I am into
That being said, a REIT that has managed to grow dividends during that period of time is definitely a solid performer for further study. You need to be very selective in what you buy. But in general, it looks like the REIT sector as a whole is swimming upstream (at least distribution wise). That's something to keep in mind.
You do not want your whole total return to come from stagnant dividend income. In order to get capital appreciation, you have to be able to time your entry and buy low, then pray for interest rates to start going down..
That's totally not the game I know how to play
But this stagnation in total dividends for the REIT sector for almost three decades does surprise me
English
@SCHDETF I think it’s helpful. What would make it better is some historical context. Specifically, during this time period the annual total return of the S&P 500 is well above its historical average.

If you had $10K to invest... Would you pick $SCHD or $VOO

@IldefonsoVilar Sustaining a dividend growth rate of 10% annually is impressive, particularly if the yield is over 3%.
English
@PositivelyPass1 Dividend growth rate in that account is 10%.
One of my goals this year is to growth my $SCHD position in my ROTH.
English
Most analysts focus on 12-month price targets. As a dividend growth investor, I'm playing a different game.
I'm looking for quality companies with above-average yields and reliable dividend growth. Short-term price appreciation is a bonus, not the goal.
That's why I don't let analyst ratings drive my decisions, we're optimizing for different outcomes.
English
@ianlopuch Thanks Ian! It will be interesting to watch $SCHY’s dividend growth over the next few years as it’s still a relatively new ETF.
English
@PositivelyPass1 Thanks for sharing! Great insights. (Disc: I’m long $SCHY.)
English
Just went through $SCHY's reconstitution data and I'm pretty encouraged.
FCF/debt went from 169% → 219%. ROE climbed to 23%. Dividend growth of the underlying holdings is up 1.80%.
Yes, the current yield dipped, but the quality of what's inside the fund improved meaningfully.
Are we setting up for stronger dividend growth from $SCHY?
English
@IldefonsoVilar Dividend growth rate is the primary metric that I track in my portfolio, though seeing the underlying price grow as well isn't a bad thing 😀
English
@PositivelyPass1 I'm not to enthusiastic with their growth rate.. dividend growth rate is all I care.
English
@chillguyinvests Nice. $SCHY's dividend growth was a bit disappointing last year, but Q1's dividend was up 30% year over year!
English
@SCHDETF Very cool, I'd nominate you to represent the $SCHD community on Fox News for sure!
English
@European_DGI I’m waiting to see how this plays out before I sell my shares. I suppose other dividend focused investors will do the same.
English
Is evolution AB being taken over by billionaire Kenneth Dart? 😲
My understanding is that a 30% ownership triggers a takeover bid or mandatory sell down within 4 weeks.
Any one familiar with the matter?
Discl: I own still shares in $EVO

@SCHDETF I added to my $FDVV position today too. It's currently touching its 50-week moving average, so seems like a relatively good time to buy.
English
$SCHD + $FDVV
I just crossed 1,000 shares of $FDVV (Fidelity High Dividend ETF).
I think $FDVV is a strong complement to $SCHD.
Why it pairs well:
• Low overlap with $SCHD
• Adds exposure where SCHD is lighter, with complementary sector weightings:
• $SCHD: strong in Energy, Consumer Defensive, Healthcare; lighter in Tech, no REITs or Utilities
• $FDVV: more Tech, Financials, Real Estate, Utilities; lighter in Healthcare and Industrials
• Includes mega-cap growth names SCHD typically won’t hold:
$NVDA, $AVGO, $GOOGL, $META, $MSFT, $V, $AAPL
• Brings more S&P 500 style growth exposure and has actually outperformed the S&P over multiple time frames including over the past 5 years
• Showed solid downside resilience in 2022
• Around a 3% yield. Dividend growth has been up and down but improving recently.
• 9.2% over the last 12 months
• 9.8% annualized over the last 5 years
• Adds a small international sleeve (about 5–7%) for extra diversification
Together, they blend income stability with growth exposure while staying grounded in fundamentals and long-term discipline.
Not about chasing performance. Just building a balanced, reliable ETF foundation that can compound and pay you over time.
Anyone else pairing $SCHD with something like this?
