Hi Mike,

It has been a while since you've mentioned closed end funds; I noticed that some on the old hit parade were trading near their 52-week low - ASA, FPF, IAF for starters. What's your opinion on these now?

Thanks,
Dave

Michael,
Now that inflation's heating up, I have started to see recommendations crop up for TIPs (indexed treasuries). What's your opinion on these? Do you think that they are a reasonable investment? or will the government just cook the books to ensure a real return of 2% or less? -ng-
