That thought crosses my mind every so often, especially when I talk with my nephew who is the Buildings and Grounds Manager at Heritage Village in Southbury. But my friends and daughter keep talking me out of the possibility. maybe someday...
Wow, that’s good! You might have been forced to retire due to the huge impact on your industry. Good to hear you were already prepared.

I'm so happy to see you here! I'm just now reading about how to introduce oneself. Except for Fido and a little SA, I'm new to forums. I hope this one is easy to follow.
Glad you joined us!
Here is the CEF thread. CEF Holdings ---- April 2025
Hi Cheris1 / schrodingerscat, glad to see you are here, see you joined back in 2023. Nice to see familiar people. Its hard for me to follow 2 forums - takes a lot of time, so currently spending most of the time here. So far, I like the layout and info I see.
Hi, cheris, I'm so happy you are here. I was going back and forth to see what you were doing.
Welcome to our forum. I hope you'll participate often.
Just caught up with this thread......great getting the band back together! I didn't know you were into quantum physics, Ms. Schrodingerscat! Are you going to begin a BDC thread here? I think there are lots of folks who's enjoy/benefit from it.....
I'm so old I remember when customers like me could be signed on to the Merc floor. Sandor, Melamed, Moniesons, Housman, Rich Dennis, Trouts.....the ancient ones. I wept when they closed the floor....trader heaven, the Big Casino was gone....
Dick, he was a trader and he said he'd never heard of CEFs. How is this possible? I really don't understand how anyone could not know about CEFs. Weren't they a very early form? My father b. 1921 was trading CEFs when he retired.
Dick, my grandfather swept the NYSE floor for 50 years and was awarded a watch upon his 50 years. Immigrant from Austria, sweeting humblest man you ever want to meet , Opa we called him......still miss him.
Dick it appears that you have to hit the bell , and read or not read all the messages, and when you back out , it automatically resets ..... Just a beginner here as well, but I think that is the answer.....
Hi. I only discovered CEFs when I retired. They are retail products, and they were not permitted by conflict of interest and independence prohibitions imposed by my employers through the years. I could only own approved "safe harbor" traditional mutual funds. I was primarily a prop trader, swinging with house money in Treasurys and their futures, as well as interest rate futures (fed funds, euro dollar depos, etc)
