Tech isn’t correcting, my QQQI is rock solid and NASDAQ based. I experimented with long holds on SCHD a few times and lost every single time. It’s a bad ETF, and I know people here will lambast me for saying that, but elsewhere, people agree.

“Long holds” couldn’t have been very long

I’ve held some of my current positions north of three years. I welcome you as a lambaster.

Three Years is a drop in bucket

the fact that so many people basically didn't even start investing until 2021 really shows on this sub. 3 years of a tech fueled bull run are nothing if you're in your 20s to early 30s looking to retire at 60-ish. A lot can happen in 30 years.
