RE:RE:Tentative debt deal announcedThe debt ceiling isnt 100% solved. There will be a vote Wednesday, and we have to see if it passes. If it does, then new bonds are issued sucking tons of money up which might have otherwise gone into stocks. I give DGS very low odds of paying in June.

The NAV right now is basically unchanged from Friday's close. I suspect it will take at least a couple of months to make up that ground, but the markets have surprised me many times before.
In any case, I am more interested in whether investors will still be willing to pay the same outsized premiums we've been seeing for these increasingly tenous dividends. The premium is currently hovering around .70.
