Follow-up thread: Would you sell your VDIGX?
Posted on 6/12/26 at 7:26 pm

Have had a relatively modest amount for years. It's down and my sale would effect a capital loss. Anybody feel there's any reason to hold?
Thank you.
Thank you.

why did you buy it in the first place? Did you purchase with the intent to reinvest the dividends? What are you doing with the dividends now? Are you solely focusing on share price and not overall returns? Are you now or have you ever been in a Turkish prison?

Yes.
Reinvest.
Not solely, but it just seems there are better places for the money.
ETA: Tempted to sell, just wondering if I should be talked out of it, if for no reason other than I'd take a losd.

if your reason for owning it no longer makes sense then sell it. There nothing inherently evil about taking a loss it’s done every day. You buy that fund for two reasons…protection in a downturn and dividend income. VDIGX is underexposed to tech which is why it’s lagged the overall markets. If you want tech exposure you’re in the wrong fund
I own a bunch of it but I also own a much bigger bunch of VITAX. I don’t care what the share price of VDIGX is I want the income

Do you have other investments?
I sell at a loss if I see opportunities elsewhere.
Just think if you had 100% of that money in QQQ last three years…
Why didn’t you? Serious question.

Confused…you want the income of 1.48%? Dividend Growth funds aren’t meant for the income. They’re meant for the strength of the companies expressed by the growth of the dividend. Meaning the companies are solid because of the growth of the dividend. If you want the “income” why not look at a higher dividend yield fund or better yet a bond fund with where rates are right now.

I said it wrong. VDGIX is my defense and hedge and it pays a dividend while doing it. It’s in tax advantaged account
everything else I own is much higher risk
