My goal there is to teach everyday investors about building wealth, so they won’t to need to work to traditional retirement age.

And the platform allows writers to share one article once a week free of charge. So, I like to share them with all my current & future subscribers. (see below)
If you’ve been following the stock market in the past year then you likely know that technology stocks have performed well vs other sectors. As a result, this has led to underperformance in some stocks as well as ETFs.
One popular ETF with dividend investors that has seen better days is Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD). The fund is down a modest 2.48% in the past year.
While this isn’t all negative as stocks have good & bad years, some investors may be disappointed as other stocks & funds have soared. But on a positive note, SCHD has continued to do their job by paying dividends consistently.
Since this is the nature of the fund, more growth-focused funds have seen their share prices up double-digits, while SCHD is in the red.
If you’re an investor who holds SCHD and have been disappointed with their performance, then this week’s article gives you an option if you’re looking for a replacement.
You may also like it if you’re just searching the market for quality options. Ones that pay dividends, help you build a solid income stream, and the potential to see strong price appreciation.
As mentioned previously, here at Dividend Collection Agency we’re all about quality over quantity.
So, remember invest or die working!
