RE:RE:Trimmed a bit more today Wow, I don't blame you for selling, I don't know how you were sleeping at night living on a knife's edge like that.
I continue to hold my DGS position (no margin), I have an average in the mid $1's and it lives in a TFSA where Chrystia can't touch me. I don't mind waiting and getting even just a few payouts, it will likely do better than me trying to time the market and flip in and out of it.
That's why I continue to hold a position here but at a half load. Most likely it pays this month but believe we are due for a pullback based on the over exhuberant market expectations on the number of rate cuts. Looking to rebuy those I sold at sub $5 but will need to wait.

I continue to hold 15K shares of FFN, which is probably the worst of the lot to hold in the short term. I bought in last week at $4.47 when AnEducator estimated the NAV to be $14.99, gambling a divvy announcement would send it rocketing over $5. Keyword being gambling. Went the total opposite way haha. Now I'm sitting on an $8K paper loss and succumbing to the psychological fallacy of hanging on to my losers, hoping they turn around.
Overall, I still fancy FTN, FFN, DGS and DFN. I just think sentiment is turning negative and agree with Flamingo: opportunities to rebuy lower will present themselves in the coming weeks.
