  • Central Securities Still Has Value [View article]
    I agree with you in light of the massive unrealized capital gains. Management is not foolish and should anything occur, I suspect they would seek to many any transaction tax advantaged.

  • General American Investors: A Perennial Favorite [View article]
    I have written about many closed end funds and am suprised by the total lack of interest in GAM. I have gotten 885 hits and no comments. I even mentioned it at GAM's annual meeting but they were simply amused. This is a billion dollar fund which seems to be trading under the radar. This may account for its discount.

  • Swiss Helvetia Offers Swiss Blue Chips At A 13% Discount [View article]
    It is important to bear in mind that they have been taking care of other peoples' money for a very long time. Their primary goal is preservation with possible appreciation. I think they are doing their job properly. This fund will never be a super star but it will always continue to do what it does.

    I agree fully. They will keep your money safe while giving you exposure to a sector which is difficult to understand or purchase.

  • Boulder Total Return's 20% Discount To NAV Makes It A CEF Worth Holding [View article]
    I happen to agree fully. BTF should not be your only investment and it is not for everyone. It is a very worthwhile investment for many people as part of a basket of other securities.

  • RENN Global: A Cheap, Interesting And Speculative CEF [View article]
    They write positively about it but I did not include it in my calculations as it is valued below cost

  • Economic Investment Trust: A Safe CEF With An Appealing Discount To NAV [View article]
    You can buy it over the counter under the symbol ECVTF. I bought it through my account at Fidelity.

    From the data available I can not make a reliable evaluation. In writing the article, I only considered treasury notes and those investments which management has valued at a premium over cost.
