RE:RE:Never fall in love with a stock... DFN was over $10 in 2015 and will never reach that level again. Even with all the distributions, there is a time to own this and a time to be on the sidelines. And for those who have the skill and the courage, there is also a time to short it.
Assuming one bought 1000 shares in Dec 2015 for $10, which was the low for the year, and never traded in/out since:
$10,000 at $10 = 1000 shares
96 distribution months - 8 misses = 88 months
1000 shares x .10¢ = $100 x 88 = $8800 in distributions
If sold today
1000 shares x $5.35 = $5350 + $8800 = $14,150
$14150/10,0000 = 1.41 or 41% increase
.41/8 years = 5%/yr overall gain
