Wrong, because this would indicate a Return of Capital and there is no Return of Capital from DFN.
Check their financial statements or look your T5.
Moneyman70 - I didn't mean the "return of capital" in the technical manner but rather that DFN has to constantly take advantage of the appreciation of stocks in the portfolio by selling them since the received dividends and income from covered calls don't provide enough to pay the distributions.
