If a Stock Market Correction Is Coming, This 1 ETF Could Be the Smartest Buy Right Now

With the S&P 500's Shiller CAPE ratio at historically high levels of 42, a market correction may be imminent due to elevated inflation, slowing GDP growth, and potential tariffs. The Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD) is recommended as a defensive investment strategy, offering a 3.3% dividend yield and high-quality stocks that historically outperformed during downturns, losing only 3% in 2022 when the S&P 500 fell 18%.
