I rate PEJ a buy, anticipating it could outperform if the Fed resumes rate cuts, given historical Consumer Discretionary strength post-pause. PEJ offers diversified exposure to US leisure and entertainment companies, trading at a discount to the S&P 500 with solid EPS growth. While PEJ has shown strong recent momentum, its cyclical nature and low liquidity mean investors should use limit orders and expect volatility.

The Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF has underperformed SPY recently, but delivers strong, growing dividends with a 3.87% yield and a 13-year growth streak, doing exactly what it is designed to do. SCHD's value orientation (portfolio P/E ~17x currently) and low fees make it attractive versus SPY's stretched valuations, fitting an income-focused strategy. We use the option wheel on SCHD for providing more consistent 'income' nearly every single month, along with our core long position that sits back and collects the dividend passively.
