We review CEF market valuation and performance through the first week of March and highlight recent market action. The CEF market was pretty flat this week as discount strength offset broadbased NAV weakness. Recently launched funds have continued to underperform their sectors - l...
Today, we are looking at how to tell if a fund might be paying a sustainable distribution or not. We use several examples covering both fixed-income and equity funds to help highlight their differences. Overall, fixed-income funds are more straightforward to analyze than equity fu...
Nobody begins an investment career with a fully-formed philosophy; it’s an achievement you can only realize after being exposed to life’s lessons. Twelve years ago, while “playing in the stock market,” I found myself overbalanced on natural gas but was save...
The market rallied back from two and a half weeks of losses to finish the week in the green. The "sell the rumor, buy the news" adage comes to mind. It is unlikely we are out of the woods just yet - especially if the war escalates to include neighbors, or worse, NATO. I would be cauti...
Reducing the tax obligation of an investor can mean greater returns when more of that cash is kept. When looking through closed-end funds, you will run across many funds that are tax-friendly. These are often equity funds to receive qualified dividends and long-term capital gains;...

I wrote a different style article for the Year-End review. I plan on doing several updates like this in year 2 as a health check to the portfolio. In week 52 I added to INTC, PTY, AGNC, BRMK, and QYLD. The Dividend Harvesting Portfolio finished the year in the black by $164.59, is...

PDO launched early in 2021; since then, the fund's performance has been weak, as one would expect with rising rates. While rising rates will continue to pressure this debt-focused fund, the valuation has become quite tempting relative to other PIMCO names. The fund also paid a spe...

2024-06-20 05:00:25 ET I’ve dedicated my career to closed-end funds (CEFs) because in a way, these high-yield investments saved my life: Using these funds to get an 8% income stream from my portfolio gave me the confidence I needed to quit my academic job well over a decade ago. ...
