    Sold out of FDFAX in my Roth ira a few months ago;stunning underperformance for a Fidelity fund. VCSAX VDC RYCIX XLP all better choices for this industry sector. Redeployed sale assets into AUENX which until recently had a $2500 minimum for retirement accounts.

    I hold RHS in both iras, but have been shaving a bit on strong days, but still have a fair amount. Every time I think to just dump it, it rallies a bit but I know its a defensive part of my overall portfolio and has its day when least suspecting it. Ive had it for about 4 years, and 2017 and now is the first time it has not done as expected.
