M* What We're Not Thankful for: Big Capital Gains Distributions
FYI: (Follow-Up Article) Mutual fund capital gains distributions. They come unbidden, usually in early or mid-December. And they're one of the worst parts of owning mutual funds. Regards, Ted http://news.morningstar.com/articlenet/article.aspx?id=675228
wah, wah, one of the worst parts. You should be glad, overjoyed, to pay taxes on this sort of thing, and the more the gladder you should be. What a lameass phrase, one of the worst parts. As opposed to the opposite? I will leave the why part of the answer to any smart reader.
