I am rebalancing and shuffling for tax loss harvesting. (hopefully before the big run up!!)
With all the headlines about recession and low inflation for the next few years my VIPSX (TIPS fund) is looking really sad. My last two pay outs from it were truly pathetic, any worse and I would have to send money in.....
I am thinking about swapping it out for either Hi Yield Corp VWEHX or Hi Yield Tax Exempt VWAHX for awhile and getting back into it when inflation seems truly threatening. It is within an IRA but am thinking about the tax exempt fund because of the 1 year holding penalty on the HYCorp.
What is negative about this scenario other than a feeble attempt at market timing? I just can't see keeping a large chunk of TIPS fund with absolutely NO return.
Also have some new cash in after tax to invest....any ideas?
