I have sent ASA email messages with various question and suggestions including the need for a more detailed portfolio breakdown, but have yet to receive a reply. The biggest problem I have is the way they calculate discount to NAV For example on September 21, they report; NAV = 20.73 Share Price = 18.81 Discount = 1.92 Percent = 10.2% Now, I only have a degree in Electrical Engineering and an MBA is Finance so I am not very good at this high power math, but the discount to NAV should be comparing the discount (1.92) to NAV (20.73), which to me look like 9.3%. They are reporting discount to market price 1.92/18.81=10.2%, which makes no sense to me, at all.
