SCHD: Why I'm Having Second Thoughts Now (Rating Downgrade)
SCHD offers high-quality, defensive holdings but has lagged the S&P 500 due to sector composition and market dynamics. Energy exposure, once a bullish catalyst, now faces uncertainty amid geopolitical tensions and potential supply gluts, limiting upside. Consumer staples and healthcare sectors show resilience but face resistance and regulatory headwinds, further dampening SCHD's prospects.

SCHD: Please Know What You Own
SCHD is a conservative, diversified ETF best suited for risk-averse investors seeking stable, growing dividends and less downside in tough markets. The fund's sector allocation, especially its current overweight to energy, drives short-term performance swings, but overall it remains broadly diversified. SCHD consistently lags high-growth ETFs like SPY in bull markets but offers better downside protection and income, making it ideal as a core, not sole, holding.

Two Alternatives For A Potential $5000 Monthly Income
Traditionally, a large portion of equity returns has come from two factors - reinvested dividends and compounding. We present two income-focused approaches: a fund-based portfolio for hands-off investors and a stock-plus-ETF portfolio for active investors. Both strategies target a 6% income yield, capital preservation, and inflation-beating growth, but differ in maintenance ask and risk profiles.
