Mike, I recall you mentioning that book before but I never did check it out. I would suspect whatever productivity has occurred is wasted by watching the stock market at work -g- Reminds me of Thomas Lamont in 1930 " The remedy is for people to stop watching the ticker, listening to the radio, drinking bootleg gin, and dancing to jazz; forget the "new economics" and prosperity founded upon spending and gambling, and return to the old economics and prosperity based upon savings and working." from "The Great Reckoning" Davidson & Mogg Mike

Hi Michael,

Yesterday was one of the most interesting days in the market I can ever remember. For one day, I outperformed <g>.

Question. For the first time, a CEF that I own, UKM, is liquidating completely, for holders as of April 26. What do you suggest? Do shareholders generally get hosed by excess expenses and taxes, or should I sit by and "play" what I presume will still be a discount to NAV?

Gracias,

DF
