RE: I am on another investing forum that talks mostly of bond CEFs. I have been silently listening as I have only held equity CEFs until last week. I'm not a credit CEF guy, what are their arguments for buying these type funds, steady income? I have a hard time finding bond funds where the NAV is higher now than when it came to market, it doesn't take much to spook the credit market. I prefer equity option funds that have a chance to recover some NAV after a market downturn. Here is PDI's chart of price to NAV and I'm curious why it deserves a premium, I guess because it hasn't cut the dividend? PDI may make sense for a trade especially if rates continue to drop, but I could never hold thru thick and thin with a chart like below. Just my 2 cents
