Yes, quite a bit. I've owned the fund for many years and have averaged a 7%+ annual return. Looks like you've owned the fund for maybe a month and now want to sell because of a loss?

So invest directly in Vanguard and save yourself $71.

You're writing nonsense now. On the one hand you are "too old for continued losses" but are upset that VWINX doesn't follow the DOW? Do you realize that the Dow is much more volatile than VWINX?

You bought them yesterday and already want to sell them? I think they declined a whole nickel a share.... $37.50 on a ~$20k investment.

Are you a troll?

I don't understand your comment "Maybe stick to CD's rather than buy high and sell low"

What he meant is that your comments indicate a very low comfort level in the market (which will always have volatility, often much more so than lately), so maybe you shouldn't be in it.

You need to do something about that anger

I don't see an angry post in this whole thread.... perhaps you are being too sensitive.
