  1. Anyone checking out the carnage in the CEF's? Nice discounts appearing as folks puke out of levered stuff.

    Just as an aside, CAF went this year from a sweet 30% discount to about an 8% premium while $33 was defended. Valuations now approaching the reality of the SSEC.

    Anyone else starting to dip their toes in here as well? (on the off chance that we avoid a total financial meltdown)

  2. psst. look at the discounts.

    If u got cojones of steel (and aren't afraid to average down), look and see.
