  • CEF Weekly Review: Municipal Funds Rule [View article]
    Where do the equity buy/write funds fall under in the Claymore CEF Index? I think there should be a separate category for them considering how many there are. I count at least 30.

  • CEF Volume Trends May Portend Their Appreciation [View article]
    Many equity, non-leveraged, high yield CEF's I see are at hefty premiums already, not discounts. Smarter to buy a correlating ETF and use a similar strategy such as covered-calls yourself. Eliminate 100 bps in fees, achieve a higher yield and have better control. Small investor's are at the mercy of the institutional fund holders and market makers when they decide to take these funds back to a discount.

    Author is just talking his book. CEF's are in bubble mode currently. All time high premiums on many I follow as small investors chase yield in tough times. Contrarian indicator?
