Chowder, Just wanted to say that you've done a great job in managing both the O/Y Portfolios's over the years. The holdings in both are the best the market has to offer. Look forward to seeing many more updates in the future.

I did some buying and selling today in the Older Folk Portfolio will all moves made in CEF's where I'm looking to increase the annual income flows. I sold the position in SPE, yield was 9.59%. With the proceeds from this sale I bought $10K each in: JFR - yield 12.80% PHD - yield 12.42% BGX - yield 11.83% FRA - yield 11.33% I then added $1K each to the following: AIO - yield 11.02% ETV - yield 9.51% BST - yield 9.46% RFI - yield 9.41% ETW - yield 9.21% BDJ - yield 9.09% BMEZ - yield 7.95% BSTZ - yield 7.89% These moves increased the annual income at just over $2,000.

Are all the positions in the Old Folk Portfolio in a taxable account? If not, could you please list those that are in deferred vs taxable accounts?
