The Secret to SCHD Success that No One is Talking About

SCHD is the Schwab Dividend ETF that is extremely popular and has performed very well over the past 10 years - but it has a secret to its success that pretty much nobody ever talks about and I’m not sure they even know about it.

In this episode of the Build Invest Live podcast we’re going to break down the secret to what makes SCHD different from other dividend ETFs, show you how a little bit of effort can get you a wealth of information that no one is paying attention to, and walk through a head to head comparison of SCHD with some of its peers.

A lot of my stock investing approach was influenced by two books. Joe Ponzio’s book “F Wall Street” and Peter Lynch's "One Up On Wall Street." Both are awesome, highly recommend!
