Alpine Total Dynamic Dividend CEF (AOD)

[keyscruiser]

Well, I never claimed to be sane, but I certainly wouldn't come here to insult anyone. I do not use a human "broker" that convinced me of anything. I do my own investing with TD Ameritrade. If what your saying is correct, perhaps I should change brokers that will show my investment in AOD as a loss, and not send me any more checks!

All investors do not use the same investing approach. I'm not looking for the next Apple or Google, I'm a dividend investor, not a growth investor, although AOD has shares in some great growth companies. I do own some growth funds that haven't performed very well.

AOD is not the only holding I have with a ZERO out of pocket expense using the DRIP and dollar cost averaging technique. You should try it before you start bashing companies and posters!
