Best, Worst ETF and CEF Year-to-Date Returns

Hello TheLasko,
These returns are calculated with the dividend factored in, so it seems they have not been much of a bargain even after the yield is factored in. We'll see if the chance for falling rates helps push up these funds, assuming as you mention that they can sustain these dividend rates.

ETFs/CEFs Furthest From 20-DMA; Best YTD Performance

Hello Carlos,
Yes, I agree that volatility of returns is very important. If you're interested, I've described a similar setup with weighted rankings on the various estimated moments and metrics of return distributions.

Just curious, do you have all funds categorized as you do in that table? Also, just to see if we're on the same page, I'm currently tracking about 1140 funds; does that number sound similar to yours?
