I'm saying stop reinvesting in my stocks that are positive in the gains column and take those dividends $D and either re-invest into stocks I already like that are in the red at $X+D or into new positions. Since I would have invested anyway with a monthly contribution, there's no additional fees, just additional capital invested in underperforming stocks.
Interesting idea, I'd just point out that you are purposely cutting off adding to your best stocks to add to your worst. Sometimes stocks are over-performing or under-performing for a reason. Just because a stock has gone up doesn't necessarily mean it isn't still a buy.
Food for thought anyways.
