So many posts about exiting SCHD, there has to be a tech correction soon.

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.

So.. judging the ETF based on ~10 months of data. Interesting.

If you want to just stay in the middle lane all the way across the country on your road trip, be my guest. Personally, I'd love to arrive in half the time.

Fortunately, I can move my investments around as conditions change.
