The Rokslide Stock Traders Thread

I did some back testing on portfolio visualizer going to put 90% of my portfolio with 50% VGT and 50% SCHD. That combination averages an annual return of 19.3%. 100% VOO averages 15.4% and 1/3 each VOO, SCHD and
VGT averages 18%. I am going to set aside 10% for indivual stocks to "play with" but for the most part i'm doing more harm than good trying to chase rips in the market.

Going to do something like this with about 25k from a CD that just matured. Curious what you guys would do as far as buy in time line. Go in 1k a week, 500 a week? Its earning 3.3% just sitting.

There's probably a simple answer to this, but why SCHD?

Not that it runs inverse but i would say the coorelation of SCHD is negative or unrelated to VOO and/or VGT. So when the tech stocks are in an dip SCHD usually is going the other direction, plus the increasing dividends YoY. SCHD evens out the drawdowns when tech dips. Someone else may have a better explination but this is my basic understanding.
