$GAB Maybe folks are taking notice that GABs NAV has been rising. Up another $0.04 yesterday to $5.94 and the next ex-div date a long way away on 09/16. Share price up to a high so far today of $5.71. Forward looking premium to NAV target price at $6.14. We'll get there in time +/-! Carry on. 🥰🍀🍀🥃

$OXLC $GAB $GGT For shits & giggles, I decided to create my own "bread basket" of CEF funds, CEF funds that I don't currently trade. I came up with (11) funds based on filtering for monthly divvi payers, trade +/- 5% to NAV, currently pay at least an 8.5% yield (ranges from 8.78% to 13.09%) and has a trailing 1-Yr Total ROI >= 8% (ranges from 8.09% to 41.65%). Bought $1,500 in each one starting in PM and then a couple more hours into the regular session today. Keeping them for ONE year, all divvis will be DRIP'd with no additional buying and/or selling. List below. 🍀🍀 to me! So far so good! 🤣🥰 🥃 .

$GAB Weird! GAB closed today at $5.65 and in AH somebody had 180 shares up for sell at $5.60 so I bought 'em. Placed the order for 447 shares JIC. Doubt I'll get the remaining 267 shs, but $5.60 was a 🎁of 180 shs IMO! Especially so since NAV bumped up today by $0.07 to $5.90! Forward looking PT now $6.11! Thanks!!! 🤣🥰🍀🍀🥃

$GAB Got lucky and was able to sell off my DRIP shares (paid out at $5.5753) today for $5.5800 for an extra buck 13! Woohoo. Stage now reset to move forward with a sane number of shares (3,650 vs 10,950) with a long-term hold strategy and a $5.462 PP avg. Target price now $6.04. The only downside on this one is the quarterly divvi. But too, it looks like it's going to take longer than anticipated for this to get back to a premium to NAV valuation. But that was the 🎲🎲 roll risk going into this. I'm now very comfortable with holding 3,650 shs with a $5.46 average and some pesos banked! 10,950 shares just had too high of a pucker factor! 🤣🥰🍀🍀🥃

$GAB Used the pop today to back out of my remaining high priced lots. Back now to my original long-term equity limit hold position as we wait for the inevitable correction to a Premium vs NAV share price. After a month and a half of painful frolic and over buying, finally at a 3% overall gain (realized/unrealized) on a 10% annual yield investment. Now at a $5.462 avg. PP position. I mean, I wouldn't complain at a new bigly dip! 🤣🥰🍀🍀🥃

$GAB "What strange going ons..." - Young Frankenstein (1974) So I sold my lowest priced lot for a tiny profit earlier and then the bottom fell out kinda sorta so I bought a new lowest priced lot at $5.4800. When she pops back up, I'll sell my now 2nd & 3rd lowest priced lots of $5.55 & $5.565 shares for a tiny profit. Lot price maneuvering while the price is below target value. 🥰🍀🍀🥃

$GAB $GGT $GUT Forward target pricing based on revised NAV's and 52-wk premium to NAV valuations... 🥰🍀🍀🥃 GAB took a $0.07 hit to NAV ($5.84), revised TP @ $6.09 - BUY GGT took a $0.08 hit to NAV ($3.81), revised TP @ $4.20 - HOLD/SELL GUT added a penny to NAV ($3.14), revised TP @ $5.98 - SELL I decided to reduce coffer limit on GAB by 10% and sold of my lowest priced lot of $5.545 shares for $5.555 thus making a tiny profit. The only reason I sold it was because my next lowest lot is at $5.550. Pretty much same-same. For whatever the reason(s) GAB is dragging its feet at getting back into the premium to NAV game all the while GUT sits overpriced with the same divvi as GAB (except pays it [$0.15] quarterly vs [$0.05] monthly). 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️
