Thanks Chowder. I was surprised to see 4 of my CEFs in the Not so good and/or watch closely category. I had 3 of them for years. NBXG was a recent purchase. Its true that my RQI and RNP are down a few % on cost but I am way in the black when including dividends. NBXG has actually performed quite well during my ownership. As you mentioned, I am in it for the income and not the cap gains. I was curious whether thes DSS people knew something important that I was missing. I can't complain as my total portfolio has done quite well over time and my annual distributions are in 6 figures. Some areas of my 85 investments struggle at times while others pick up the slack. Then at other times the underperforming securities pick up while some different class of securities take their turn in the barrel so to speak. Basically this means that I mostly don't need to sell anything to live on. After reading QTI's response, I think I will hold these 4 CEFs for the time being. And yes, the Safety scores are pretty decent. I appreciate the feedback.
