1 had an interesting discussion with a broker I use at one of the major houses. He listened in on one of the calls by one of his analysts, who said that, historically, the best time to buy a lot of the closed ends was the week after Thanksgiving. As I understand it, this could be attributed a lot to tax loss selling.

I've looked for bargains on the last trading day of the year. It doesn't always work out, but some beaten down stocks get mostly retail trade on that day and the selling is primarily tax-related.
