Dapper Dividends #282~ SCHD Expert: Is It DEAD or Just Sleeping?
Is SCHD dead or just sleeping? We sit down with Craig (SCHD Stan) to answer the tough questions about why SCHD went from the #1 dividend ETF to having investors posting "I'm done with SCHD" online. We break down the March 2025 reconstitution that pushed energy to 20%, why SCHD returned 0% while the Nasdaq soared 19%, and whether the 63% payout ratio threatens dividend sustainability. Craig reveals if he's still buying SCHD today, how it compares to DGRO and FDVV, and whether the 3.8% yield matters when tech ETFs like SCHG, SMH, and SOXL are dominating. If you own SCHD or are thinking about buying or selling, this interview covers everything - including what Craig would do with $10,000 today and whether SCHD deserves a spot in your 2026 portfolio.
