Mike, I took a look at FAX and copied the following from one of their NRs. If you could illuminate what they said, it would be helpful to me. The 35% dividend funded by "return of paid in capital" from their statement "are made up of 63% net investment income, 2% realized capital gains, and 35% return of paid-in capital. It sounds to me like this came from shareholders' original investment as they state they will maintain dividends? If so, it seems to me a holders original investment may be decreased by 1/3rd. Is my interpretation correct, or am I missing a major piece in my understanding? Regards, Lew
