[QUOTE="GT33, post: 1001419, member: 5550"] Someone can correct me if I misstated something here. You start the year with 100 shares of the bond fund with a price of $100/share which equals $10k in the bond fund. Through the year the 100 shares you own earns 10% and is now worth $110/share or you now have $11k in the bond fund. On the ex-date, they pay out $10/share in dividends. On that date you own the same 100 shares, they now have a price of $100 again plus you own $1k in dividends. Your dividends can either be paid to you in cash or reinvested. If you reinvest, your $1k in dividends is buy you 10 shares. You now would own 110 shares at $100/share which equals $11k in the bond fund. You don't "make money" or "lose money" on a dividend payout. That's just not possible otherwise the bond fund company would either be giving you money or taking it away. Neither is permitted.
