From what I read over here, most of you are clueless regarding how stocks move. It's no wonder why most of you don't make good profits. You're looking for a quick gain instead of putting in the time to research funds.

Patrick posted earlier his concern about VWIAX but it disappeard so I'll just post my response here: Define safe Patrick. S&P and DOW are both down 30% YTD. VWIAX is down 12% YTD. Today was ex-DIV day so you will get a distribution tomorrow. I say a drop that is only 1/3 of the indexes is pretty safe. Bonds and stocks usually perform in opposition of each other and in 2008 VWIAX did very well. This is not a normal time. Panic has set in like no other time in market history. If you can't stand it, sell and stay in cash for a while. If you have longer than 5 years’ time before you need the money then stay put. It will be fine. VWIAX is an amazing fund with a much disciplined system of management. Trust the professionals.

it's a distribution you geniuses. they do this most years late December. it's not a real price drop.

I bought shares for my daughter today. I have been waiting for dips. This is the best safe long term balance fund I think she should have. I have around 250k in this fund for the last 25 years at least and very happy. Buy and hold!!

Mid December 2019 I moved 100% into Wellesley Income Admiral Shares, best investing decision I've made in 38 years of investing.

I just talked to Vanguard and this is a reporting error. It should be fixed by tomorrow at the latest. Whew!

VWINX is up 14% this year. I think it is because of the bubble in the bond market. Is it still safe to buy VWINX considering the bond bubble that may burst soon. I have always think of VWINX is the safest fund I have ever seen. -10% in 2008. I want to park money in VWINX waiting for a market crash then buy other mutual funds.

Buy and hold ! I bought this for my 2 children several years back and have watched it grow slowly but steady and allows you to sleep at night. Good college fund for the long haul. I recommend this fund .

why the huge drop today (12/18/17) when markets were way up?

I recieved $7,000 in year end cap gains and dividend. Luckily I reinvested it and bought at a lower price. I am a long holder, apporx 30 years and have done pretty well I just ride the lows and relax. JMO

Great balanced fund. I have had it for around 25 years. I am buying this fund for my daughter who recently inherited money for s safe long term investment.
