The fund holders won't be happy paying taxes on a down year after having received a "distribution". It can be worse. I have a friend who sold out at almost the top last spring. He has been nearly wiped out by picking the bottom and using margin (did the same thing myself but not to his extent). He still has more gains then loss's because he didn't take the loss last year and is still holding. He will be negative when he has to sell everything to pay his cap gains. I think he said that he can't even get it back next year because you can only take 3k worth of loss on income and he won't have any gains as he has no money to invest.
