    Hey all, this isn't spam. I invest in closed end funds, and do some preliminary research at cefconnect.com.

    I like that these can trade at discounts- anyone else opt for these instead of ETFs sometimes?

    As a general rule, I only invest in these if there's some sort of dividend pay out involved.

    Yes, I hold quite a bit in CEF's:

    FOF, UTF, EFT, CYE, FMY

  3. Good stuff. Nice Screener thanks for the website. Useful
     
  4. If you are looking for dividend income right now
    Try the Junks Bonds (HighCurrent yields on CEFConnect) for the income. Or the HYG, JNK, PHB etfs
