Alright, so it makes sense to just ride it out with OBIOX. I now realize my mistake in investing in a specialized fund and have done more research. My plan is to invest in some index funds (less risk and less monitoring required).

Now as for VBMFX, VWELX (or possibly OAKBX, that's been recommended to me on multiple occasions and came up in my own research), I'm thinking about investing in 1 or 2 of them, though I obviously want to invest as the market turns around.

-Are there any early signs that the market will start to grow again? I've been looking around and haven't found many answers, though I understand that this might be one of those questions without a clear answer.

 Thanks for your time,
