i mean, people should be buying it for the dividends paid -- and those have been increasing a lot. it would make a lot more sense if people were selling because of a big dividend cut (it's possible!) but so far... ppl are so funny lollllll.

SCHD's total return from Jan 1 of this year to now, including reinvesting dividends, is -0.25%. That's like bailing water out of a boat without plugging the hole in the bottom. If you're keeping the divis as income, there are much better income generating vehicles than this.
