Alpine Total Dynamic Dividend CEF (AOD)

[keyscruiser]

I don't doubt the fund, or outside investors in the fund are buying it's own shares. Or even other funds that think this is a bargain price with a 6.7% dividend. That was the "forces" I was referring to. IF they were buying shares with shareholder funds, or new shareholder funds and paying dividends in the form of ROC, that would make it a Ponzi scheme.

but is it possible the fund is now buying its own shares with shareholder money?
