playbook:

Dividend projections from AMECX and CAIBX are an important part of those projections, but are the most difficult to forecast.  I use the current dividend % for AMECX and CAIBX for all years in the plan, but increase the NAV by 2% each year.  Not compounded, just average annual increase.

I use the actual dividend history that I linked to above to estimate my CAIBX and AMECX future dividend income, not the % yield since that is based on NAV, which varies.

I think TaylorZR likes CAIBX but I'm not 100% sure. 

I think TaylorZR loves CAIBX, lol!  I love it, too, and am going to buy more soon.  Maybe this week.

It seems Bilperk for sure does not.  They both do their DD and apparently have many years of investment experience.  Since CAIBX will be a significant holding for me, Bilperk's response gives me pause.

I don't think Bilperk doesn't like CAIBX - he just doesn't see it as better than DODBX and maybe even worse given the load.  If you post to him, he may have more to say on this topic.
