Q: Firm Capital (FC) is a dividend income stock (probably with low capital appreciation potential) that pays a a fully taxable distribution (interest income) of 7% annually (on a monthly basis).

I am wondering about the ability of the company to sustain the dividend - especially in the presence of a rising interest rate environment (also, is a potential real estate bubble a worry,here).

Thanks!



Thanks.
