Alpine Total Dynamic Dividend CEF (AOD)

You will have to talk to TD Ameritrade about their math, and the checks they send me every month. As far as the share price loss, that's the advantage of monthly dollar cost averaging, a lesson learned from Warren Buffett, Dave Ramsey, and Jim Cramer. I own several etf's, and have never been concerned about the fees. They may affect the PPS, but not the dividends. If a part of the dividends is ROC, and I re-invest them through the DRIP plan, then I've made my point, AOD has returned my capital.

I doubt if AOD will do a RS. If they do, the dividend may also increase. BTW, I'm not young and dumb any more, just older and wiser!
