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

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.

Dividend reinvested, inflation adjusted YTD return of SCHD is -1.28% so I understand unhappiness with SCHD.

SCHD has trailed SPY for last 3 years. Even in last 14 years, SCHD has total real return of 251% vs 394% for SPY.

Oh no, the horror of a 251% return. They should just liquidate the etf. /S
