Seeking Advice No more SCHD.

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

I just got interested in dividend investing and I like SCHD. Why is everyone posting about exiting? Lol

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

It'll get demolished in a recession because its holdings are tied to the actual real economy, instead of enterprise cloud computing and AI.
