    Thanks for the comment. I did sell PBKEF recently just for this reason. Would reconsider it at lower levels.

  • Protected Principal Retirement Strategy: What If? [View article]
    Biggest concern would be rising interest rates - always perceived as a potential negative for REITs and BDCs.

    Thanks for the comment Bob. The major difference is yield.

  • Closed-End Funds Trading At Premiums To NAV Are Seeing Their Bubbles Burst [View article]
    Any CEF trading at a premium to its NAV should be avoided! Would you pay $1.05 for milk that should sell for $1.00?

    As far as message boards go iVillage has some very intelligent posters.

    NAPTP is also a great educational site.

    Hinds Howard is also pretty good.

    Not very well. That is why my focus is on the MLPs.

    In most cases you will receive a K-1. A few are LLC's so you get a 1099.

    Think I mentioned dumping all mREITs. Their dividends are beginning to take hits now.

    At present I believe the yield opportunities and distribution growth might be better from MLPs than the eREITs when the poo hits the fan.

    Don't know about 100%, but based upon past performance I sure have no problem increasing exposure to them.

    Most of the Pfds that I track are presently selling above their redemption value. Plus I continue to read where folks should be wary of Pfds going forward; but I guess we should be wary of everything.

    Surprised you omit MCC - one of the better performing newbies.

    You need to become more familiar with MLPs. The $1000 that you refer to is not from distributions, but addresses UBTI.

    Besides, who is smart enough to determine when the market peak will occur?

    Appreciate the comment though.

    We all need to be thinking about what might happen.
