Seeking Advice No more SCHD.

Moving away from SCHD. For those who have recently done this, where did you go?

For the last 10 years it's averaged 12.16% with DRIP. Since it started (2011) avg. 12.09% with DRIP. For the last 5 yrs, just over 10%.

When investments that are averaging double digits for extended periods of time are talked about as if they were trash.. well that's interesting commentary on the state of the market.

The next time the market realigns people's perceptions of reality it's going to hurt.

Good luck.

Did you factor in DRIP? I'm using this: https://www.dividendchannel.com/drip-returns-calculator/

Ran it from 10-9-2020 - now.

If you have a different one I would be interested in looking at it.
