Bought some CEF at the close....

And why not?



Bought and paid for... courtesy of Calpine.

Fwiw, Andrew Lahde, the Hedge Fund Mgr who wrote that letter,
(gotta like his style) cashing out of the hedge fund world...
did so, because the credit markets have become dysfunctional. His
firm lost 2% on not being able to settle derivatives post the Lehman
aftermath. And he is on the record for going long gold & pm's personally,
... forecasting a coming complete meltdown in the markets.

...of course, it could be the hemp?

Lahde's a bit of a recluse, and shys away from all photo's, but was caught

Keep your chins up, twas a good day, and there will be more!
