RE: EVT is more typical for me. It is a tax advantaged fund paying 0% ROC with an 8% yield. It’s one of Eaton Vance’s unloved funds. I added to it earlier this year, might have been April. Can’t tell you what the premium or discount is, but it’s a better buy today than its stablemates ETG and ETO. If you don't use premiums or discounts to value CEFs how do you value them and how did you come up with EVT is a better buy than ETG or ETO? EVT is 21% leveraged has 9.31 nav growth YTD and 8.32% total return with an 8.05% discount ETG is 28% leveraged has 20.09% nav growth YTD and 24.1% total return with a 6.74% discount ETO is 20% leveraged has 18.47% nav growth YTD and 17.14% total return with an 8.88% discount ETO and ETG are beating the market, EVT is lagging behind. I don't want to come off as argumentative; I'm just trying to figure out your process, maybe it can help me in the future.
