The market has seen a slight pullback again over the past two days. Even those 'auntie-level' ETFs like $VG S&P 500(VOO.US) and $iShares Core S&P 500(IVV.US) have followed suit and dropped. Dividend-focused ones like $Schwab US Div Eq(SCHD.US) and $JPMorgan Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF(JEPQ.US) couldn't hold up either. It seems no matter how diversified your U.S. stock portfolio is, no one can escape when the market hammers down. Ironically, the most stable performers turned out to be those 'lying flat' short-term U.S. Treasury bond ETFs like $iShares 0-3 Month Treasury Bond ETF(SGOV.US), which rise little but fall even less... Don't ask. Right now, it just feels like 'gaining on the index but not making money.' All the returns come from just holding on passively.
