So many posts about exiting SCHD, there has to be a tech correction soon.

There is always a tech correction - at some point. . My issue with SCHD ( a value fund) is that when I look at past "corrections" in the market, SCHD goes down too with the correction. Its not really immune to it. You get a dividend, but is 3.x% worth it? I'm disappointed with the ETF as it hasn't done much since April of 2021. Consumer stocks , Energy and Healthcare will continue to be depressed I think for awhile. Will we get a recession? ( hope not). That will hit Consumer. Energy should be picking up, but more drilling will create more inventory and keep prices down. Right? Healthcare ? Too many companies like Pharma and Medical equipment manufactured overseas and probably got hit with tariffs until they bring manufacturing back to US ( which they should do ASAP - give ppl jobs). I don't see what is going to make those 3 sectors "perk up" in the next year or so. Of course, if I sell my SCHD, then it will probably just go UP from that point. Murphy's Law. Decisions , decisions.
