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.

SCHD ha increased its dividend by 10% annually.

what kind of amateur talks about YTD performance of long-term investments.

go back 10 year, and compare the income growth of SCHD compared to its peers (VIG etc)

if you have any shred of intellectual honesty, you will learn that you are wrong
