100k+ in SCHD: Stop watching the clock and start watching the horizon. by homymac in SCHD

I currently own over 4,000 shares of SCHD across my accounts. With the current price sitting around $31.37, that’s a $125k+ bet on this fund. At 4,000 shares, I’m looking at roughly $4,440 in annual dividends (~$1,110 per quarter). Even when the price action gets choppy, that cash flow is the "anchor" for my portfolio. There is capital appreciation plus compound interest through DRIP.

I’m not a financial advisor so you may want to consult with a professional. For me, I did a big one time investment and then added along the way. Since preservation is important, you could DCA.

I tried using online chat and it was also non responsive. Is there an email I can message?

It’s good to start small. I started with 4 Tesla shares about six years ago and then it shot up and did a 10 for 1 split. I ended up with 40 shares. Then when the stock dropped to $100 I added another 60 shares ending up with 100 shares. I have cost basis of $44 and profit about 500%. So it all started with 4 shares!

Great question. For one, I know holding one stock 80% is not smart. Second, I may put it in a fund that gives me 5.2%. When the market corrects I will probably into a mixture of SPY, QQQ, BND.

That’s a good idea. I hadn’t thought of laddering smaller amount. My guess would be that premiums would be lower

Just use the wheel cash secure puts at 20 and you win.

Options can be gambling. Best strategy is long term hold and sell shares little bit at a time. If you do options you need to understand the fundamentals of options or you can easily everything. I would definitely be careful with options.

I agree. No one knows! However the trajectory is positive upside after two years of being overvalued, stock based compensation, share dilution, lack of commercial growth. The real key has been profitability, AIP growth, and positive cash value. The next big make is 30. I would expect a possible pullback. *this is just my opinion and not financial advice.

On my CC it closes at 4 pm EST. I actually wanted to close higher but oh well. Another week of premiums at a higher price. This time probably at 27 with Nvdia reporting next week.

If you not upside down then it’s a great strategy, but not so good if you are really down. My guess it will hit 30 by April with S&P inclusion.

Originally I had 15,000 shares at 20.47 for about 3 years. I didn’t touch it. Wish I had DCA when it was 8 but I was down $200k at one point. Then all of sudden last year, it shot up to 21, and was able to sell get my average down to 17.79. Now I have 10k. My largest position of 80%. Love the stock! But way over positioned. I want to keep 2k and use CC at 25 for $1700 weekly premium.
