When Buying A Closed-End Fund Makes Sense

(Click On Article Title At Top Of Google Search)
FYI: To most investors, closed-end funds are targeted plays on various markets whose use of leverage can generate robust yields. A dollar, for instance, can buy $1.30 worth of exposure and the extra income that comes with it.

    In a tippy-toppy market leverage can also bite you in the itty-bitty bottom.

    Also, it's my understanding that Closed End Funds directly can be harder to liquidate (sell) than a mutual funds implementing the same strategy. I don't own River North Opportunity Fund, but does sound like an intriguing fund strategy.
