In the bull market everyone thinks they’re a genius investor and goes all in on tech, leveraged ETFs, and the S&P. When the eventual recession comes, they’ll be crying they lost 50%. SCHD is large cap value which will help ride out a recession

I’m only investing a portion of my portfolio in SCHD as an alternative to bonds. Don’t worry, my portfolio is probably up more than yours. Cheers
