[@ChristopherAbelman]

The etf SCHD is basically an index fund of strong companies that pay out dividends. It only has an expense ratio of 0.06% and has performed well since it came about 10 or so years ago. I highly recommend people consider adding it to their portfolio. With enough time, you can use those dividends later in life to largely live off of without touching the principle.

[@bartlyAD]

I’m sorry if this comes across as offensive, I really don’t mean for it to be but, if you dont know how to add stocks into your portfolio, you need to learn a lot more basics before you even pick anything to invest in.

[@DaliaCohen2230]

Dividends from the stock market encouraged me to begin investing. What matters, in my opinion, is that if you invest and make additional passive income in addition to dividends, you will be able to live off of dividends without selling. It implies that you can provide that benefit for your children, giving them a head start in life. I've invested more than “$600K” in dividend stocks through my asset manager and will continue to do so until the price falls even further.

[@PennyBergeron-os4ch]

I’ve felt like an outsider looking in since I first bought dividends kn 2018. I planned to do more research and increase my earnings but I got lazy and forgot. So now its time to stop being stubborn and. Ask for help. Can you tell me where to get answers?

I’ve been considering both FDVV and SCHD for my dividend strategy, but with the market volatility and inflation, I’m unsure which one offers more long-term stability.

Dividends from SCHD are generally taxed at the qualified dividend rate, often providing a tax advantage over ordinary income rates for many investors. However, current market attention is centered on Nvidia, which has significantly contributed to the S&P 500’s recent earnings growth. Nvidia’s stock, up over 90% year-to-date, gained another 2.5% on Monday in New York, propelling the Nasdaq 100 to a new record high. I’m actively seeking new opportunities to enhance performance within my $350K portfolio and open to strategic ideas.

I believe the next significant trend will be in Artificial Intelligence. For sustained growth comparable to what META achieved, it’s essential to avoid impulsive decisions based on short-term market movements.

[@kerrydaniels8460]

You're better off with a SCHD and growth fund combo like VUG. FDVV is already crappy for anyone that knows stocks as they realize you can't call yourself a Value fund and then be heavily weighted in non-value holdings as your literal top holdings. It doesn't deliver much higher dividends nor invest properly in actual Value stocks like a true Value fund would. You're better off going with at least VOO over it at that point since it shares over 80% overlap with VOO showing again it ain't a true Value fund.

[@crizdancemedia]

How’s FDVV taxed compared to SCHD?

[@Theerapath]

Can you do the analysis on the FFLC ETF? Other than the fact that it is an ETF with minimal fees and active management, not much is known about it. I conducted a portfolio backtest (going back 10 years) against a number of other well-known ETFs, including the VOO, SPY, QQQ, and many others. This ETF appears to perform better than others, particularly in 2022 during the down market. This EFT increased its gain on the up year and, inexplicably, minimized the loss on the down year (only -0.22% down).

[@jdgolf499]

I hold FDVV in my HSA, along with SCHD. As a retiree, SCHD is there to generate cash for any medical expenses I may use the account for, while FDVV is there for income and the possibity of a little more growth. Outside of that, your points are spot on. FDVV just duplicates what I already have in my growth funds.

[@miggy858]

Professor, what are your thoughts on the dividend growth projections of SCHD. Based on what I see from other dividend growth ETFs it seems like it’s near its cap meaning it’ll slow down significant in the near future. Whereas VIG appears to have a significant amount of roadway ahead. If the above ends up being true, wouldn’t it be better for someone in their 20s and maybe early 30s to go with VIG?

I recently purchased some suggested equities, however they are now only penny stocks. With the markets plunging, prices skyrocketing, and banks closing, there appear to have been more negative portfolios in the first half of this year and the last third of 2023. What worries me is whether a value investor would benefit from the quick increase in interest rates or if it would be wiser to stay away from stocks for the time being.

Man, just "buy the dip." It will pay off in the long run. Although investors should be wary of the bull run, high interest rates typically result in lower stock prices. To reach your growth objectives and prevent mistakes, it is best to consult with a skilled adviser.

@NolanGouveia I am, thanks for asking. Little higher expense ratio than SCHD, but low overlap for the ETFs.

FTEC b/c it covers, in my opinion, the broadest tech, large, medium and small cap companies. With those 4 as my base, I have the options to pick other short term/cyclical stocks like MSTR, or long term growth like VRT. Been following you Dr G for months now, always enjoy your thoughts and recommendations. Honestly, you were the 1st person I remember hearing to invest in SCHD, so thank you!!

[@WildEwok]

@kerrydaniels8460 I go with small % of SPLG but prefer SCHG because the returns from that beat any of the S&P 500 funds. With money debasement, prefer highest returns possible after the few etfs that come close to the ones like VOO

[@kerrydaniels8460]

@WildEwok Go look at your original comment my man. Wasn't discussing other ETF's. Just FDVV vs SCHD that you mentioned and FDVV isn't really a dividend etf. It sucks compared to what I mentioned. Also, SPLG hasn't been around very long to say it will always outperform. Growth had a solid decade, but in reality the market can be very cyclical so it's typically better to have a mix as the same funds can have just as low of a swing decade and return much lower.

[@kerrydaniels8460]

FDVV isn't great at all compared to other options. This video spent a lot of time looking at returns, but then didn't do enough iteration into what a value/dividend fund even means. If you're just gonna be 80% copy of VOO then no that ain't a true value fund. Then on top of thst your dividends aren't near as good as other options like SCHD. Of course it's gonna look certain way when Nvidia which is the complete opposite of a value fund is heavily weighted. Same for it's other top holdings thst are GROWTH stocks NOT value. So if you fail at what the fund is literally named after no thanks. I'll go get the real deal with SCHD instead.

Since the overlap between SCHD and FDVV is only 15% is there a reason not to split say 50% on each fund for the low volatility part of your portfolio? Or 60% SCHD 40% FDVV for the low volatility part.

[@danyduval6577]

Does someone knows the canadian alternative to fdvv or schd ?

[@mikos2k1]

Just buy these two. Seems like fdvv will be more like a growth etf that pays good dividend

[@kerrydaniels8460]

Nah, more like a crappy wannabe VOO fund that performs way worse and barely has much of dividend over it. So you get crappier returns and crappier dividends than just going with the real deals.

Denver Broncos? I knew there was a reason I liked you! ❤❤❤

[@NolanGouveia]

🙌🙌

[@RegularJoeKnife]

I agree but what’s odd is the years that were down they both are inline with each other. I thought FDVV would have lost more in 2022. I have looked at SCHD as a safer place to still pick up modest gains. Then again I’m old.

[@altaccount8749]

So the 3 fund portfolio is just the total stock market. VTI or FZROX.

[@GodsArmy00]

Thoughts on the potential of $PYPY?

[@FearIess1221]

This is great information!

How about a value growth ETF for uk investors?

[@CynthiaArmstrong7]

? ? How does FDVV compare to SCHG AND FTEC?

[@CIAragDe]

I bought SCHD 11/04/2021 and then again 9/15/2023 and have 11.92% gain. SCHD has been okay I guess with the dividends paid.

[@PastryChef321]

Hello, could you share the source of the rist analysis at 11:20? Thank you

[@ACP-786]

VOO (in 401K) / SCHG & SCHD (in Roth) / 10-15 stocks (in Brokerage ac)

[@hiphopjewels]

Right now the 3 Fund is SPY/QQQ/SCHD with a dash of VYM. I'd like to see a video where you compare SCHD with VYM instead. Schwab vs. Vanguard instead of Schwab vs. Fidelity. VYM has had some real nice growth lately.

[@bernardojunqueira2392]

Great video. I´m very new to this investment/ETF world and I learned a lot from this video. I'm already setting goals and planning strategies based on what I've learned here. Subscribed! Thank you!

[@michelleann10000]

Broncos? You from CO? Love your videos, Professor G

[@CalvinBeau]

This was one of the best videos that I have seen. I think you are awesome.

[@NolanGouveia]

I appreciate the encouragement Calvin! Thankyou!
