Tom, I saw your question about this on the MB thread. I don't know much about CEFs. Mike or Howard can answer you better.
Good luck!

Thomas I own Korean ADR's. The premium varies from 40 to 100 %. The fact is Korean ADR's have always traded at a premium of 40-60%. When the Korean market turns these Korean blue chips will quickly go up in price. The three Korean ADR's on NYSE SKM, KEP, PKX are financially sound with limited debt. Today inspite of the Korean market being down and CNBC bad mouthing them, two have closed higher and one is unchanged. INMH buying puts or shorting them at these prices may not be rewarding until and unless Korea defaults on its loans or otherwise falls apart.

Barron's would have the figures for CEF's
for Friday's close... look in
Market Week, under Closed End Funds. I think WSJ has the same
info in their Monday edition someplace. Some of the Thai
CEFs had premiums over 50% a few weeks ago, so I guess it's
possible. Seems nuts to me.
Ah, but you are talking about ADR's. I don't know where to find
premiums/discounts on those.
