MCN: Sliding Lower But Premium Remains Sticky
XAI Madison Equity Premium Income Fund has seen a name change along with a change in the adviser, though the fund's objective and investment policy remained unchanged.

Despite the latest underlying weakness in the portfolio caused by overall increased market volatility and declines, MCN still doesn't appear like a bargain.
