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.
Quoting Lewis: "But for practical purposes I have rarely heard funds state they are returning capital to save the end investor on their taxes because the fund is just doing so well."
Me either, and no one said they did. I did say that it's a tacti…
"Mostly, I think return of capital is a means to deceive investors, although purchased at a discount it has a value."
Talk about unrealistic and a stretch, it's quite common especially for CEF's with a managed distribution policy. It certainly isn'…
The lack of interest here has me wondering. See, banks allow hedge funds to spend billions of dollars they don't have (margin) leading to extraordinary market volatility when the fund fails to make up it's losses. Meanwhile they all bunch up their p…
NAV does not always decline from ROC payments And not all ROC payments are bad depending on the source of that capital.
Closed-End Fund Return Of Capital: Good, Bad, Or Other
I think it's riskier to continue polluting our planet the way we do. I also find it abhorrent and riskier that this country does not do more to provide healthcare to those who can't afford it. I'll gladly pay more for both rather than see us continu…
@Andy - Although those two issues, foreign investments & currencies, are always and issue I believe most of the volatility is a matter of energy source i.e. alternative v. fossil fuels (notice the spike after the presidential election).
Long te…

You could try entering the ticker symbol for the ETF but my guess is that you won't find it (fwiw Fidelity doesn't offer it).
GREAT!!! Watch as Faux pulls the Sydney Powell defense out of their collective asses. Money and viewership losses are the only thing those idiots understand.
All the more reason:
Yahoo Finance

You wouldn't know it by the deluge of furniture ads Costco puts out BUT that doesn't mean the items are readily available. I'm not in the market for furniture so I guess that I'm not much help.
POAGX fell 35.34% and currently is up 26.13% over it's March 2020 high.
MGGPX fell 27.28% and currently is up 39.14%.
Not sure if they qualify as steady eddys but it works for me.
I’m of the opinion that these ‘private’ investments have been going on for a longer time than we think. If anyone really scrounges through their funds holdings there’s often many questionable listings, ‘others’ if you will, that take a lot of effort…
@Sven - I hope that you forgive me for taking your thread topic slightly off course but I thought that the French version of the Fauci ouchie might lighten things up a bit. These are friends of mine RV'ing in Europe. Enjoy.

@Mav123 - adding to @catch22's response I do invest in my own collection of a dividend 'growth' portfolio. It's composed primarily of dividend champions and aristocrats. I built it primarily for the income AND of stocks that I felt I would be comfor…
Last years dog IOFIX +5.18%
And then there are some CEF bond funds - YTD returns Price/NAV all positive

PTY 1.65/2.28
No one in their right mind would ever believe that 45 stepped away from his business/company. He's way too much of a control freak to ever let that happen. He certainly could say that he did but that would only be when it comes to blaming anyone els…
My bitch Lewis is that even to this day, despite the clear wording of the Declaration, white males are considered and treated like they are more equal than all the others. That imbalance extends to housing, healthcare, employment, opportunity, wages…
Erlend Kulander Kvitrud - he's not wrong, while I think that @LewisBraham definition of how at least this liberal thinks of freedom could use some work. He might start by building off the Declaration of Independence if indeed it needs to be modified…
