Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
FYI: As a lot of investors headed for the hills during the burst of stock market volatility over the past few weeks, some corners of the closed-end-fund space have emerged as value plays.
Most closed-end-fund categories have seen share-price discounts widen in October compared with the 2014 average, but some, including growth, loan participation and bond funds, have seen the discounts widen by at least 2 percentage points in the past three weeks.
