All,
Dabbling in Vanguard index funds to learn while slamming my residual med school loans every month.
Basically, looking at Vanguard's high dividend yield investor share fund (VHDYX), I have a modest amount of money that I put in there just recently and which has grown a bit with the market movement in the last few weeks -- again, more to learn and to get my feet wet as a newer attending.
I've read quite a few things here and on Bogleheads as far as the arguments for/against dividend-based approaches.
Seeing a little extra cash would, of course, be nice, but it's not like I'll be sinking the kind of money into this in the next 1-2 years to make that particularly feasible.
The details are all feeling mushed in my head with everything else I've been doing/learning about such things. That said -- better to leave as is or migrate to one of their other highly reviewed index funds -- the 500 fund (VFINX) or total stock market fund (VTSMX), perhaps?
