I guess I can't see what the risk is but I can't seem to square that with a 19% dividend. I note that FTN has been around for a couple decades and has traded much higher than where it is now. So either the shareprice goes up and the divie drops a bit or the shareprice stays put and so does the divie. Seems a win-win to me except for the whole "too good to be true" thing.
5-9% is not low risk. Very high. 3-5% is low
I look at this like musical chairs. I plan to be out sitting on my chair at the first sign of danger
