Q: I Just received a Notice of Pendency and Proposed Partial Settlement of Class Action for shareholder of Bioverative (Biogen spin off). I had 83 shares of BIVV. Can you please explain 1) is this a "legitimate" lawsuit and what exactly is the lawsuit about 2) reading the material i have a hard time understanding if I am automatically part of the potential settlement or do I need to do anything to participate? I never filled anything out so was surprised to see this arrive in the mail and finally 3) if I need to do anything is it worth my time and energy and if so, that action do I need to take.

Thank you for your guidance
Scott

Can I have your opinion on shippers such as DSX and FRO and those juicy dividends at least for the next year. Longer term I know these can be risky.

Is there a best of breed shipper you would be comfortable recommending?

Thanks.
