Barron's On CEFs

The Electronic Trader column (subscription required) was all about closed end funds. It went over a few basics and then referenced a few web sites for investors to get information on the product.

The sites mentioned were;
http://www.closedendfundforum.com/
http://www.closed-endfunds.com/
http://www.etfconnect.com/
http://www.herzfeld.com/

I use ETFconnect all time and link to it on the side bar of this site. I have been to the other three sites before. I have had mixed luck finding useful content.

I think there is room for more good content about CEFs. Most of what I find talks about premiums and discounts as a primary reason to trade them. I would like to see more content that goes into how certain funds fit into a portfolio or comparing a CEF to other products that capture same thing. I have done several of these over the life of the blog. Some have been right and some have been wrong but they have been good for capturing what I try to do for clients. A recurring theme of this sight is to share my process. I hope readers take a little from me, a little bit from some others and create their own process.
