re: NLY Thanks Mucho. Interesting....Are you saying that you do not see a significant risk to your principal if interest rates start to rise? Or, that since it is a long-term holding, you plan to disregard any principal risk and just milk the dividend because you expect it always to be higher than most REITs? I would guess that you hold this for taxable income rather than sheltered so that you could write-off any loss in the event fundamentals changed and you decided to exit? Would you ever hold a bond fund as a small component for diversity in a taxable or non-taxable account during an inflationary environment? Any thoughts which might be safer....NLY or ACG? Thanks for sharing your perspectives on many of the threads!
