I didn't actually "cash out" (take a distribution from) anything and therefore capital gains and/or gross income at the end of the year is unaffected. I just put all of it in a different fund, whose goal is to basically dog-paddle in place.

Looking at the DJIA just now (down 484 as of 1:40PM), maybe it was bad ju-ju even starting this thread.
