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.
@OJ - I believe that the author was stating the yield based upon the price per share on the day he published the article. There's nothing wrong with that. YOC or yield on cost is basically just a feel good metric. For example, the current yield on M…
@Ted - yeah I ran across them (k-1's on preferred's) a year or so ago and they surprised me a bit. TurboTax handles mine with just a minute or 2 of my time.
@Ted - just one example:
"The new preferred from ARES is non-cumulative and redeemable in 5 years which is typical for preferred issues. What is not typical is that these shares will generate a K-1 at tax time instead of the more typical 1099. Th…
I guess you'd have to call me unclear on the concept of what constitutes "private" equity then. The list shows the top 25 companies held by the fund and together they make up 76.44% of the funds portfolio. Investopedia has this to say about "private…
The M* CEF dissuasion forum is outstanding. I hold 3 of your eye catchers but I'm way too full of PDI which currently is a bit stretched. PCI, very similar, is a better buy at the moment in my opinion.
With all due respect that sounds more like common sense rebalancing rather than doubling or eliminating an investment. In my mind there is a large difference between the two.
Using your same example I have done the same when certain sectors have fa…
I value my privacy as well but I use FB to keep up with far away friends and my kids. I have hearing difficulties which makes phone conversations, well let's just say trying.
Speaking for myself it is NOT about conservatives v. liberals. It's about him - his values, morals and integrity. Granted none of us are probably incident free but he is so deep in the toilet I can't even.

So let me get this straight, it's okay for the current potus to swear, name-call and threaten or incite violence across the land and around the world but everyone else should just shut up and take it. Got it. But I ain't gonna do it and it ain't gon…
@johnN - this is not political bias, it's treason against the US! Even you republicans should be angry and disgusted. Just what will it take to convince you? Your guy is a lying, despicable moron. At least stand up for what's right.
But you don't h…
I can't wait for IQ45 to attempt to declare bankruptcy on the hotel and golf course he's hoping to build in Russia. By the way, didn't a number of foreign intelligence agencies also find evidence of Russian interference in the election?
Roughly 10% of my portfolio consists of REM, O, STWD, NRZ and WPC. They all have been long term positions held to contribute to a dividend growth portfolio. I haven't checked but I believe that you will find them also in many income builder funds an…
Move along. Nothing to see here, just another article about poor, fellow Americans that this administration cares squat about. We've got racist, polluting, anti-government rich people to care for don'tcha know.
