We DCA into our taxable account. I've read that you aren't supposed to buy just before a distribution, which typically occurs in December. I have a really hard time understanding this whole concept. Does this mean if you DCA, you should stop your DCA for the month when the distribution is expected?
The fund we DCA into is VTSMX (Vanguard Total Stock Market Index). I see that it just had a distribution in September. Do distributions in general only occur once a year, or should we expect another one in December?
Please forgive me if these are novice questions. We've only had our taxable account for just over a year now and are still learning.
