Update for Closed End Fund Portfolio as of 6/6/14

The last update for this table was in February 2014: Stocks, Bonds & Politics: Update for CEF Portfolio as of 2/14/14

Since I am running about a week behind in discussing my trades, the following table reflects some pares and additions that have not yet been discussed in my weekly posts. For example I recently sold 116 of my highest cost ADX shares, mostly purchased with dividends, and realized a gain of $319.38, plus the value of the original dividends used to purchase shares.

The CEF portfolio is a portfolio within a portfolio. It is a balanced world portfolio that focuses on income generation with capital appreciation being a secondary objective. I have eliminated several buy-write stock funds due to underperformance. I still have a couple that I want to jettison at some point (BCF and IGD), hoping for better prices down the road. I did pare IGD recently. 

For some of these CEFs, I hold positions in two or even three accounts and will vary the reinvestment option by accounts.

I have started to reinvest all dividends paid by bond CEFs due to their abnormally large discounts by historical standards.

Vanguard recently started to allow reinvestment for VGI so I changed the reinvestment option to reinvestment. I am reinvesting the dividend paid by GDO in two out of three accounts. For DPG, I am reinvesting only the dividends for the 100 shares bought in the Roth IRA. 

I have reinvested all dividends paid by SWZ since I first purchased shares.

For ADX, I am currently only reinvesting the capital gains distributions. I tried to stop that reinvestment about a year ago, but Fidelity continues to reinvest the year end ADX capital gain distribution which is by far the largest part of the distributions. Adams Express Company (The) (ADX) Dividend History
