My Income Portfolio: Financial Awareness
The essence of financial awareness is to realize that money can work for us through our investments. Understanding the value of money is the first step toward financial education, which leads to the selection of the most appropriate tools for developing that awareness. In my case, the instruments I have adopted are largely high-income vehicles, with monthly and, in some cases, quarterly distribution.

Very Bad News For Closed-End Funds
Closed-end funds offer unique opportunities due to their discount/premium mechanisms, allowing share prices to deviate from net asset value per share in a wild manner. In general, CEFs often provide diverse exposure across equity and fixed-income portfolios, and they even offer exposure to hybrid portfolios, but also allowing for sector-specific exposure. One important note is that not all premiums or discounts indicate a buying or selling opportunity; instead, it can make more sense to examine relative value over historical periods.

5 Closed-End Fund Buys (And A Sell) In The Month Of January 2025
The market had a solid two years back to back, and to kick off 2025, January also saw some of that same upside momentum continue. There was some recent volatility in the market after DeepSeek and tariffs were announced; particularly, NVDA from the Mag 7 group has been sliding. That said, every month, I put some additional capital to work to help grow my cash flow over the long term, and January 2025 was no different.

My 9.5% Income Portfolio-Like Mosaic Tiles
Our investments, usually conceived and implemented gradually over time, are the pieces of a personal mosaic that form the whole of our assets. One solution for entering the financial markets can be Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA), a form of investing a constant amount at regular intervals. However, initiating a plan to buy stocks according to the logic of DCA presupposes awareness of the fluctuations in financial markets and their psychological implications.

EVT: Offering Some Diversification To An American Equity Portfolio
The Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Dividend Income Fund offers an attractive 8.04% yield, ideal for income-seeking investors, despite underperforming the S&P 500 Index. The EVT closed-end fund primarily invests in dividend-paying common and preferred stocks, providing some inflation protection along with income. The fund's leverage strategy enhances yield but carries risks; however, its current leverage is lower than peers, reducing investor risk exposure.
