Q: A recent question/answer mentioned AGNC,NLY, BXMT. All have high yields 13-14%
Are these rates sustainable over a 3-5 year period. Would AGNC likely be the safest with only a 10.3 PE?

Thanks

Q: I had asked a question about the 'equalization dividend' for the Enerplus deal. I subsequently spoke with ERF investor services and was informed that the Mar 19 dividend from Chord is not included in the calculation, so the equalization will only be based on the June 5th dividend. The equalization amount will about .233USD and will only be paid to shareholders of record on the date that the deal closes, likely May 31.

Q: The ERF news release on Feb 21 included this note "It is anticipated that the quarterly dividend payments made by Enerplus until closing of the transaction will be equalized to those made by Chord, after giving effect to the exchange ratio, through an additional Enerplus dividend declared shortly prior to the closing." Chord's dividend payment on Mar 19th was $3.25US and the next payment on June 5th will be $2.94US. Using the share exchange ratio in the deal of .10125, should I be expecting a special dividend from ERF of about $0.50US ? ((3.25+2.94)*.10125-.065-.065)

Q: You have recommended SPYD ETF in recent answers, and on doing some research, see Morningstar rates it as a one star and Seeking Alpha has a dismal article on it. Just wondering why you like it? They seem to like SCHD much better. Would you agree with this thesis for a Dividend ETF?
Thanks!
