SCHD is part of a plan to make the portfolio easier for my wife to manage in the likely case that I die before she does.

With a record of a decade of double digit year over year dividend increases, it is the royalty of dividend growth ETFs.

If by going nowhere fast you are referring to share price appreciation, I suggest you look at a look at a 10 year chart, but share price appreciation is not really the goal with making it 5.5% of our portfolios at this time.

Yeah I am just saying it is going to hang around here for awhile IMO.  The flight to value already happened.  We'll see if I am right.  SCHD had a good run in the bull market and no reason to think it won't do above average if market gets rougher.  I have considered buying.  I need to run a total return backrest vs SPY for the past 5 years.

As you do that, keep in mind that the SPY dividend yield is 1.3% while SCHD's is about 2.9%.

As long as the difference in total return isn't outrageous I get the value of a dividend.  I truly haven't checked.
