• CEF Discounts Approaching 1999 Nadir

  (Fri, 31 Oct 2008 05:20:29 -0400)

  Joe Eqcome submits:

  The percentage of Closed-End Funds (“CEFs”) whose share prices are currently trading at a discount to their Net Asset Values (“NAV”) is approaching the cyclical record low (high percentage) of 1999. Currently, 95.3% of all CEFs are trading below their respective NAVs as of 10/29/08. The group’s aggregate average discount is currently -11.8%. This is approaching the record year-end level of 1999 when the percentage of CEFs trading at a discount to NAV was 96.7%. At that time the aggregate average discount was -13%. (The stock market troughed in August of 1998.)

• Trading Closed-End Funds - An Update

  (Tue, 05 Aug 2008 07:45:10 -0400)

  Ben Sharvy submits:

  Six months ago, I wrote about a way of screening closed-end funds (CEFs), and my testing of the system at marketocracy.com.

  That article, A System for Trading Closed-End Funds, rates CEFs by dividing the discount by the expense ratio. So, higher is better (high discount divided low fees). The system also requires insider buying, to get a qualitative valuation of the fund. The test-fund continues to outperform the S&P 500, beating the index by 4% in the last 6 months.

• A System for Trading Closed-End Funds

  (Mon, 03 Mar 2008 02:01:33 -0500)

  Ben Sharvy submits:

  How do you know if a cheap stock is a good value, or cheap because it is bad? If you understand the business very well, you can do your own research. A lazier and more common method is to check the opinions of people who should know, such as analysts and insiders.

  Closed-end funds (CEFs) often trade at a discount, providing a quick way to find seemingly cheap stocks. They usually aren't followed by analysts, however. They also charge fees, which can undermine their cheapness.
