I am left M* too. Became a farce with selective censorship. Felt that way for quite a while but when Dick silenced, and some others, just was not worth staying. Sent M* an email telling them (Casey) I am deactivating them. Hope to see other names here that I know. My name at M* was Lucky7. Bob

Good point--it has been so long, I forgot I was the moderator. I bought THQ this morning. Hesitant to chase in this market, but at the same time trying to gain some yield. Any particular CEFs you are looking at?

There are so many CEFs, one of my biggest hurdles is trying to narrow the field. We need to eliminate the questionable choices.

You can reduce the field if eliminate all selling at premium eliminate all whose NAV is below ipo value look only at 6+% yielders fwiw

I have quite a few cef's but things are so high now nothing hits my buy list presently. Mainly use them for income--have held some for years at a time. Do trade from time to time though. Currently holding--FAX, AWF, BIT, UTF, HIO, EOI, GHY, FFC, RQI, MFD, HIX, JPS, DFP, PCI, DSL Have held initial buys in some of these many years. Good luck.

excellent--add to that a nice current discount to NAV and that's about all I do. I admit however, I am always looking for more yield.

>>>You can reduce the field if eliminate all selling at premium eliminate all whose NAV is below ipo value look only at 6+% yielders<<< Do you have a screening tool that screens for the above criterion? In particular one that can eliminate cef's with NAV below IPO value?

I have started using this screener. It is some awkward to use, but when you select criteria, you can check more than one box. For example, I checked for monthly payers, selling at a discount (checking all the boxes from zero down), and paying 7 percent or higher. It provided a list of 72 funds. cefconnect.com
