Hi. Before retirement in 2008, I spent about 28 years on Wall Street, principally as a proprietary trader of bonds and fixed income futures and options for too many(!) firms including several Primary Government Securities Dealers. When I became too old and slow for trading, I spend another 15 years as a management consultant, mostly investigating and reporting on trading and investment "blow-ups" to senior management's, boards of directors and regulators.
When I retired, I began searching the universe of retail investment products that had never been available to me while employed because of conflict-of-interest and independence investment restrictions. Once my searches led me to bond-ish income closed end funds, I never looked back. My actively managed income CEF portfolio has supported my wife and me in retirement --- including her custodial ALZ care for the past 4 years --- while growing investment principal roughly four-fold. I have learned a great deal about CEFs and other investments from generous posters on other websites, and I hope to continue my education here.
Regards, Dick
