Still not interested in getting back into the Philippines, and as I write this, the PHISIX is down 2.6% in opening trading...after four consecutive days up, all the gains wiped out. So...except for a little quick gain on KIF, the only SE Asian CEF I have right now is TYW...Taiwan Equity Fund. I got in at 10 1/8 a few days ago, and it was trading at a 20% discount to NAV at that time too. TWN was trading at an even wider discount...but I have had TYW in the past so that's the one for me. Mike's picks right now...TYW, ASPT, VRGN...and I still have a little OREM which I dont want to pay taxes on this year. So much for the 20-year plan...have been trading a bit lately, but at least I am not screwing myself, which is what I usually do when I trade in and out. If Korea tanks again, I might try and trade KIF again...but it would have to get below $4 1/2. Oh, one more idea...puts on AOL, oh man come on, up $6 today, get real.
