  • Why Timing the Market Fails and How to Invest More Safely with Schwab Dividend ETF
    June 8, 2026, 11:00 PM EDT. Investors worried about high valuations and economic uncertainty should avoid trying to time the stock market, as this strategy often results in missed gains. Instead, consider safer, dividend-paying stocks like those in the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD). This ETF focuses on blue-chip companies with strong fundamentals, providing lower volatility and a dividend yield around 3.3%, significantly higher than the S&P 500's yield of just over 1%. While its total returns are more modest-26% over five years excluding dividends versus 76% for the S&P 500-SCHD offers greater income stability and a 17% year-to-date gain, beating the S&P 500's 8%. It suits investors prioritizing income and reduced portfolio risk amid frothy market conditions.
