Q: Any reason to think the shares will ever approximate book value?
Q: BGI started out at $10.00 with a .15/qtr, dividend with a target yield of 6%, about 10 years ago. It has managed to keep paying the .15 quarterly dividend since, but the unit value has been mostly below 10.00 since it started. It appears now to be trading near it's 10 year low and the current yield is over 12%. It looks like further downside is possible with rising interest rates and also as it trades at a premium to book value. It looks like the payout ratio is over 300% at present. Your thoughts on the following questions. Is the dividend safe at the current level given the securities it holds? With the payout ratio so high is the Fund forced to do an equity issue to maintain it, or do return of capital payments? Do you feel this is a good entry point? Finally, how likely do you feel that they may reduce the dividend back to the 6% yield level in order to preserve cash in the fund? Please deduct as many credits required to answer. Thank you for the great service. ...Will

Q: Both PIMCO Tactical Income Fund (9.6% Yield) and PIMCO Dynamic Income Fund (13% Yield), were mentioned on the weekend.
Their unit prices have dropped due to the rise in interest rates. I am retired and have very little exposure to fixed income. Would this be a reasonable investment to consider? One would expect if interest rates continue to rise, the units’ prices will continue to be adversely affected.
Thank you
Kim

Q: When you last commented on PDI you said "Okay with". Noting the one year return on fund value is minus 15% but the long term returns seem to be in the 8-10% range. I am in it for the dividend (I'm retired). Do you think the ~ 13% dividend is safe long term ? And how much of that 13% is ROC ? What are your overall thoughts on this one ??
