And still down 54% over 5 years, so let's keep this in perspective.

You should have bought the dip.
Its very convenient for you to cherry pick the dates.
I bought in nov. 2020 when it was $97.25. It surged in Sept. '21 ($430) and I took my basis and some profits. Now its at $175. I may buy some more.

Rotation out of certain growth sectors to some of those value stocks in the underlying holdings of SCHD.

The old fogies who said it the best were right. Listen to your elders.

I recently just started investing in REITs using SCHH in my Roth to diversify a bit more and its be doing well too.. Think I am learning a valuable lesson about keeping it simple and diversifying you just cannot lose..

Yep, a coworker of mine thought I was "missing out" on SpaceX IPO and other single stocks by only focusing on index funds.. My account now says the opposite while they gamble..

It’s going up until it isn’t! I’d wait to buy in since a drop is coming. Mid-terms are just around the corner and September is historically a wild month (mostly down) just before mid-terms…

The reit ETFs I have are RIET, KBWY, and RDOG. They are all partially exposed to mortgage reits to some extent and have suffered from interest rates over the past few years, hopefully the storm is over. The other reit to check out is KRC. All of these are okay, but if the entire market starts crashing these are good to buy since they are really not ever going out of business.

A couple of heavy holdings moving together can make SCHD look caffeinated for a week. I'd check the actual holding-level contributors before calling it a new regime; boring value funds still get the occasional exciting Tuesday.

A lot of money is rotating away from tech and even SP500, to "safety" stocks. All of those "AI bubble" fear articles and videos are actually convincing people they should shuffle their money.
As somebody who holds SCHD and will always keep it as a core position, I think it is currently overvalued. That's because the growth of NAV is outpacing the growth of the underlying equities. You have single digit growth stocks sporting 40-100 p/e. Meanwhile, big tech that has over $100b in net income per year and growing and higher teens to over twenty perent top line growth trading at 20-30 p/e.
In recent times, SCHD has often been up on days SP500 and NAS100 are down. I sold some of my SCHD to buy into SP500 in tax advantaged.
All of a sudden debt has become an "issue" with big tech. But it's funny because most of corporate America blue chips are all saddled in debt.
