RE:RE:Trying To Reason Why ...Well MM, you continue to teach me different ways of looking at these splits and evaluating them better and for that I thank you prfusely.
I was feeling like I was really taking a beating on DGS because I started buying in AUG 2017 at the high 7s, low 8s and have seen massive losses on the SP, but, thankfully, if I average in lots of less expensive shares and the divs I've gained, I'm at an average barely above $5.50 now, so panic averted, and it gets markedly better each time a div is paid...
When and if this one ever hits $6 again, I'll probably take the opportunity to get rid of it or most of it, and get back in nice and low or look at something else at that time.
I thought DFN was where I needed to move everything, I mean that dividend is secure AF, but, as you have demonstrated, one needs to look a little closer sometimes and weigh all factors when making these determinations.
Thanks as always for your insights...

DGS wont be doing an offering at these levels, as they are trading at a discount to NAV.
If DGS pays only half the time this year, the yield will be almost equal to DFN ....
as DGS pays .10 per share but the shares are only around 5 $ so the yield is over 24%. Half the year would be 12%.... and the upside move could be much stronger . Not as safe for distributions that is for sure, but capital appreciation is much more likely if the rebound comes in the next few months.
I was buying LBS as it trades around its NAV and pays out a higher yield than DFN, and also has a higher UNIT NAV than DFN. Better buy imo.
