SCHD Making Moves 📈 - up 4.71% over the past 3 months - and I think this is just the beginning.
With the Fed cutting rates, dividend funds like SCHD are coming back into favor. That ~4% yield is starting to look really attractive compared to falling bond yields.
What I'm watching for 2026:
Rotation away from overvalued tech into quality value stocks
SCHD's focus on strong cash flow & dividend growth companies
Potential sector shifts favoring healthcare, utilities, telecom
While tech stocks grabbed all the headlines, SCHD quietly does what it does best - deliver income and stability.
For long-term investors, this could be the start of something interesting.

📈 2 Years of Investing $5 Every Day — The Results Are In
It’s officially been two full years of me investing $5 every single day into two ETFs: VTI and SCHD — real money, no skipping days, no shortcuts.
🎥 The first video is live now, breaking down my VTI investment in full detail:
• How much I invested
• Current value
• What worked, what surprised me, and what I learned
And if you’re following the SCHD journey — don’t worry 👀
📆 The SCHD $5-a-day update drops early next week, with dividends, growth, underperformance talk, and why I’m not worried long term.
Appreciate everyone who’s been following these experiments from the start 🤝

📈 SCHD’s dividend growth is the quiet cheat code.
Historically: 10–12% per year.
Even at a conservative 8% forward, the compounding is insane:
💵 Today: ~$1.03 per share
📆 10 years: ~$2.22
📆 20 years: ~$4.80
📆 30 years: ~$10.36
Same ETF. Same shares.
Only difference? Time. ⏳
