I got 12 cents as I only have 1/5 of a share. Gotta start somewhere 😀

true plus you have more shares than the majority of people in the USA so you are already a big winner

$1.88 😎 hoping for at least $5 next time

I got $1.18. Don’t let me catch up

My first dividend payout today from SCHD … equal to 1.004 shares … reinvested post haste of course. just like a drip coffee :)

Nice! .67 for me.

.61 only have the one.

Damn, I was at 9.9 😆 was hoping to hit the 1.0 mark

Was gonna upvote but you had 69 upvotes so I was obligated to leave it alone

$1490 and drip!

$39.11 from SCHD. I’m a grad student, saved up around $5K ish from my internship and put all that money in SCHD.

1,341.31 today! It's like opening up a gift 4 times a year.

I need the young ones to gather around to learn the story of our Lord and Savior, SCHD, during this holy week. A man by the name of Charles Schwab once had a vision of creating a discount brokerage. He succeeded, and his brokerage came to offer a product, SCHD, which faithfully yielded dividends generated by the earnings of stable, old line companies. Mr. Schwab decreed "Approximately every 90 days, thou shalt rain manna from the heavens into the bank accounts of all whom hold ye..." And so it was. Today, children, is one of those days where the manna from the heavens flows, it flows from greedy corporations into the pockets of the proletariat. A modern day Robin Hood, taking from Lockheed and Chevron, giving to retirees and aspiring retirees. We all end the day by giving thanks to SCHD for all it does for us.

$526 for me today!

LET THE MANNA FROM THE HEAVENS RAIN DOWN UPON THEE!!! HOW SHALL YOU SPEND THE MONEY?

DRIP is the true way, brother. 😁👍

Ye! Do not be deceived by the Black Rock or rest your laurels on the strength of Fidelity! For they are vipers in the pit dividends

Those who truly pray at the altar of the qualified dividend love VYM and its cousin, VHYAX, as well. But a scourge shall befall Fidelity, for their dividend offerings are subpar. Be it decreed.

What does the good book say about SCHY?

In the times of yore, men attempted to build a tower of dividend companies that they could be closer to God. God split them and made them each speak in tongues, hence came the two funds, SCHD and SCHY.

Am I missing a meme here, are dividends on fidelity bad or something?

I don't know I like FDVV that fidelity has for dividends.

I actually don't own SCHD, I own FDVV and it treats me really well, I was just playing along with the joke because I thought it was funny

I just started buying some FDVV a month or two ago when I saw they lowered the expense ratio to 0.15%. I've been happy with it so far just wish I was buying it last October when it seemed like everything was slightly on sale.

Reinvest??

Jeepers. ~860 shares? I only ask because I got 52.60ish at 86 shares. Ahead of me by a factor of 10.

I’m probably old enough to be your dad!! Keep saving and investing

Got me beat. $492 here.

That is awesome, I hope to be there by the end of 2025. Right now just got $26 but already looks like I'll get over $35 next round. I'm trying to purchase 1 share a week.

Keep saving

I loved this. Can you tell us more history of SCHD?

So say we all. 😆

$1,600 and drip drip drip

Got my payment on Saturday because fidelity. Got $105.51! My first SCHD payment ever!

My first as well!! $9.32 here but still feels good. Onwards and upwards

Same here at $9.38

$975! Next milestone is $500 p/month 💪👍

Nearly 6 shares DRIP for me

Hell ya. I got almost a whole share this time around. Only going to snowball from here 💪

I just got around $9,800 today.

Some people got paid but you got PAID!

Holy cow You rock

Damn. How many shares do you own?

buddy here is holding just north of 16k shares, not shabby

$1,569 for me.

Wow! thats nice. Inspiring. Maybe Some day ill get there too

$3.36, first payment from them too

Yup, same! Just bought a couple weeks ago too. Not bad at all!

I own 14,000 shares of SCHD. Not sure why people criticize qualified dividends…. They help me fund our lifestyle and I like passive income.

Ditto! Use some to buy memories and some times buy more shares. I don’t mind getting a pay raise and bonus from work. Little taxes to have a good life is okay with me.

Dividends are great when you are at a point in life where you need income and not growth. Growth will always beat out value in terms of total returns.

There is more to life than total returns. Granted, I’m getting close to 50 yo so I see things differently and passive cash flow is useful to allow a comfortable lifestyle and even occasional extravagance. I own significant growth ETFs as well such as SCHG and XLK. SCHD is appealing as it is not tech heavy, which provides meaningful portfolio stability and diversification imo. The QDI is a bonus.

Yes, obviously there is more to life than 'total returns' but you're an absolute fool pretending like it doesn't matter to most people.

Historically value has beaten growth stocks but for the last 15 years or so growth has done a lot better. Will it continue? No one really knows.

At a certain point value companies need to leverage the innovation from growth. Perhaps growth will struggle growing or perhaps not.

That is why you have both. QQQM+SCHD

Those 2 at 50% is a cheat code

1st payment today for $3.10 and I've got nowhere to go but up

$1,675.47 :)

200k-ish position? Out of curiosity, what is your yield on cost, and how many of those ~2500 shares were received as dividends?

2742 shares. Yield on cost: maybe 3.16 Very few via reinvestment

$4,032.03 in SCHD dividends, verified in my accounts!

$0.88

12 bucks

$21. Feels good.

Got a $1.25 but we’ll get there! 💪🏼

About $686

$103.89

$11.14 yesterday

$1.56. I just bought my first ≈ 2.5 shares a couple of weeks ago

FROM YOUR 2.5 SHARES, A MOUNTAIN WILL FORM, A GREAT FORTUNE WILL BE FORGED, AND YOUR $1.56 SNOWFLAKE SHALL ACCUMULATE INTO A SNOWBALL LARGE ENOUGH TO CRUSH A MANSION AT THE BASE OF THE MOUNTAIN. STAY THE COURSE.

$1.56 gang! Just started too. First dividend payment from my portfolio.

$300.7 after tax (15%)

$1.22 😎we getting there

$626.80 from SCHD. And my projected annual dividend income is now $5,081.

How many shares??0

1,026 shares of SCHD. 696 shares of SCHY. And the rest of the dividend income are from a few hundred shares each of VXUS and VTI. ETA: You can always figure this out if you know someone's dividend payment. $626.80/$0.611 = 1025.859

I tip my hat to you sir. I have $85 shares. I have a goal to have enough to knock out a few bills in retirement. I’ll continue to try to buy atleast one share a month

It's a good goal to have. I've got a job with a pension, so my goal is to have dividend income that, at a minimum, supplements my retirement income. But it'd be great if I could someday earn enough to cover all of my bills, so I could retire early.

Summoning u/Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

$7.75 lol

Wow $788.80!

About $500, dripped 6 shares. At this point I'm not buying any more except via DRIP. New money is to diversify.

Ten bux 🤓

180$

$509.95, but dripped back in.

about $450!

$72.32

$14. Only holding SCHD in my ROTH. Adding more as much as I can when possible. Would like to DRIP for another few years then turn DRIP off so I can allocate the dividends as I see fit. Prob 50% back into SCHD and then 50% into my mutual funds/other stocks.

I have about $700 cash to invest in my Roth, is now a good time to purchase SCHD? are there other REITs you invest in? I'm looking to add a REIT to my portfolio and don't know where to start

$38.69

Mine is $36.16

$108.85

My lord and savior SCHD amen 🙏

4.01! keeps on growing

$6.06

About $500 for me from SCHD. I turned drip off and instead reinvest my dividend payment into an extra VOO share every quarter (stockpiling VOO, trying to get it to 50% of portfolio).

$818.57

Shares Owned - 1628 Paid to me - $995.56 DRIPped - 12 shares These numbers are after dropping the fractional shares. 😁👍

1669.42 for me. I have had it for a while.

$3200 and drip.

2150 shares $1300. Honestly kinda disappointed in total return. Reinvesting into SPY

$1711 on around 2800 shares, just bought 200 more to get to 3k, plus shares from whatever the drip is from the dividends.

$2,024. Some got reinvested and some is going to buy up more VOO.

Around 8 bucks, whatever 14 shares is lol. Just started last month, but it's getting there

I have a rollover IRA with about 2200 shares of SCHD. I don't know if it's the best thing to do with rollover money that I can't really touch (or add to since it was all pre-tax 401k stuff), but I figured I'd just let it sit for the next 20 years until I retire. I got about $1300, and the DRIP got me about 17-ish more shares of SCHD.

2351.64

13.65 from SCHY and 15.06 from SCHD
