RE: From a psychological point of view, although the yields will now be higher, when a distribution cut comes along it may just drop back to its old yield, and if that was satisfactory now, it should be satisfactory going forward.

I know you have CEFs in many portfolios that you manage, but I have all our investments including CEFs in our 4 IRAs so there is no tax consequence for buying and selling CEFs so if I get the idea or heads up a cut is coming I will sell and then hopefully buy back in after the cut which is one of the best times to buy them. I do the same if premiums become ridiculous.

DDF is a classic example, I'm up 31% not counting dividends since AUG 2020 after DDF traded down from a premium of 40% to an 8% discount in 9 months after a distribution cut.

I got the idea from Doug Albo which I know you subscribe to seekingalpha.com
