Q: Hi
The question by J Stephen piqued my interest I have been looking for ETFs that spin out dividends for an income stream. The dividend on this is very good which makes me wonder about risks. How would risks on this compare to a covered call ETF like ZWH . Thanks Keith

Q: I currently own PIMCO Income Opportunity Fund. PIMCO is planning to reorganize and merge some of the funds. PDI would aquire PCI and PKO. The new management fee will be 0.11%.

I have been happy with the income from PKO. Should I continue to hold the new fund or seek an alternative.
