@DeepValue_CFA Agree on the RQD 45/100 quality, though with 1.0 beta I'm scaling in with half-size at $3.28 and keeping dry powder in case we test $3.05.
I respect the product at Franklin Premier Income Trust, but the stock at $3.28 is a different story. Fundamental cash engine shows ROIC 0% and FCF yield 0%, with no financials or analyst data to offset the Distribution Warning verdict.. FCF yield is 0.0% and RQD sits at 45/100 (D) — why pay up here when you can wait for next quarter's numbers?
