MB, RE CEF: Do you remember what was the discount/premium on HQH and HQL when you bought them and when you sold them?
I see that ASA discount has recently shrunk. I looked that historically ASA has never had a big discount. I guess this is what creates "leverage" with CEFs.
Why some small CEFs have leaps and many big ones don't? I like your ideas about getting income by playing with leaps. Besides ASA which ones do you like? Thanx, ild

Well, I solved my problem about the borrowed DIAmond trust shares on the Dow. At a total cost of $29.90 I switched into SPY as a short, which is a better idea anyway since the P/E on the S&P is higher than the Dow. Also, tech investors seem sometimes to be using the Dow stocks like bonds, imagining them a safe place to park money, and I have had enough of dealing with those loonies.
