Generally speaking, any stock with a yield <= 1.25% that can't keep up with VOO I don't hold onto. The trick is figuring out what length of time is a big enough sample to make the comparison valid, and I'm still working on perfecting that. For stocks with yield above that up to about 3% they have to at least compare favorably with SCHD. Otherwise I'm better off buying the ETFs.
Our portfolio's current yield is slightly over 4%

IMO that is a good target for a port with any growth potential. And who is "our". Do you run a subscription advisory service?
