I've held - and added - to this fund for several years now and I know that short term performance shouldn't be a big deal, but it seems a lot weaker than it used to be.

I may hold onto the small amount I have in an IRA, but considering the big cap. gains distributions it makes, I am considering selling my shares towards the end of the year before the next payout, and investing elsewhere.

After taxes and fees, even with the good years averaged in, it's tough to see a really compelling case for this fund anymore.
