The story so far

Investors who shorted the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD) are facing significant losses. The ETF has surged 27% year-to-date, outperforming the S&P 500 Index Fund (SPY) amid market volatility.

This performance has left some financial analysts admitting they were wrong in their assessments. According to eciks.org, SCHD's gains have embarrassed growth ETFs in many portfolios. The Motley Fool suggests pairing SCHD with another ETF for investors who favor it.

Seeking Alpha's title, SCHD: We Were Horribly Wrong, underscores the shift in sentiment. The Globe and Mail provides a practical example, calculating the investment needed to generate $500 per month in passive income from SCHD. The question now is whether this momentum will continue.
