    Alpine Global Dynamic: High Yield Fund at a Discount [view article]
    This is not a moral question. I am concerned that a portion of the dividends might represent a return of capital. Since May '07 the NAV has dropped about 40%. By comparison, ETV NAV has come down about 12%. In that time AOD paid $2.88 in dividends, and ETV paid $2.38 in dividends. Please check my numbers, I'm not good with numbers, but what I am saying is that it seems to me that the ETV strategy is better than the AOD strategy. When I try to understand why, it seems to me that the dividend capture plan is not working well. I would appreciate any ideas, comments, corrections. This is not a moral issue. This is an issue of what is the best investment for us, where "best" is the most return on investment. Reply

    Are you recommending NOT to buy AGD based on their strategy of buying dividend stocks? Is this a moral question, or does it not make sound business/financial sense?

    I think what is going on is that they buy the stock before the x-dividend date, and sell afterward. Since preferred stocks trade flat, the stock price drops by the amount of the dividend on the x-dividend date. So you are getting a dividend that is really a return of capital by another name. Reply

    If I recall, AGD is run by the same management as ADVDX. ADVDX has been paying 14% for ever and the ETF and Fund both use the same formula to derive income. The market is down and the funds are down. **If** we ever turn the corner, you should get good appreciation and a great dividend. I only own two funds, ADVDX and CGMFX because the management of both of these funds are quite nimble and are very forward thinking.

    Turnaround next year ..... LMAO! It will take more than 3 years of dividend collection just to break even. Meanwhile, money is being lost to inflation and not being invested in a 3.5% money market. Reply

    PNW, your comment about the 15% withholding on dividends from Canadian companies to US persons ending as of 2011 is interesting. Where did you get that info? Thanks!

    Spot on, dividends are a beautiful thing. Two thoughts relative to your reservations about Canadian Royalty trusts.
    1. Yes, they are taxable in 2011, but most (ERF for example) have enought tax credits currently in place to be effectively tax free for many years after 2011.
    2. In 2011 the 15% tax withholding on the dividends by the Canadian Government for US tax payers does go away. Also, part of that withholding is refundabled when you file you tax return...amount depends on % the foreign dividends are of your total taxable income. And, even if you simply reduce the dividend by 15% you still have a dividend yield over 10% on many of the trust. Side note, if you happend to have owned the trusts for a number of years you have watch the value of the looney vs. the $ significantly increase the dividend yield. Some think futher looney appreciation is in the cards.

    Anything that offers a 14% dividend can not be sound. How many investors wouldn't jump at the chance to put all of their money into investment vehicles that are yielding 14% and go play golf?

    There's an old saying, "something is rotten in Denmark".     Reply

    Year-to-date, this CEF has gone down a whopping 35.90%. If the dividend gets cut, you will see investors leave like rats off a sinking ship. Dividends are of no value whatsoever when your principal is eaten away by price decline. The current yield of nearly 15% is great for new investors but if you purchased in 2007, I feel your pain.
