RE:RE:Realtime UNIT NAV for DGS = approx: $16.50 For sure many are just trading these names, in fact i had a sell in for 30% of my holding a few days ago and it got taken out gaining more in a day than i had expected. However i think some of the selling is due to DGS having to pay out the quarterly distributions of 14 cents to preferred shares on top of the 10 cent payment to commons by mid- JUNE.
I believe this creates a value buying opportunity tho, as the next payment to preferreds is 3 months out.
Market seems to be finally trending to giving bigger premiums to safer names , like FTN, BK and others..altho a healthy premium has been given to FFN , which isnt even getting a distribution for commons this month. DGS with an annual yield of 16.57% at the close friday is still one of the higher yielding common split fund shares out there. And probably the most diversified fund .
marketsense wrote: Interesting facts but how to interpret this. My impression is DGS is still quite undervalued and remains a bit of a laggard. No sure why this is so but could be
simply a lot of investors taking profits thereby creating short term resistance. It
seems these names are used more as trading vehicles rather than buy and hold
type investments.
