Huge thanks. This thing has been on a complete roll. Exchanged everything into it at 188 a share and it's currently at 201. All in a month's time.

Prego mi amico.

I've been in it a long time. Glad it is doing well for you! It is one of my favorites.

I no longer have shares with it but I seem to remember getting pretty nice dividends and capital gains payouts - did that happen this December too?

I hope the trend continues, I'm still in the negative on this fund.

that is your call. All i am saying is that fund has been good for a long time with a 16.42% return since 1984. It is at 200 now. the 52 week high is 218 and the low 184. I personally would NOT buy it unless you plan on holding a long time AND keep adding to it using DCA. But that is just me.
