$UTG I am out with a nice profit. The fund is under pressure due to rising treasury yields. This closed end fund uses leverage or buys on loan more shares which is now 19%. That is how it can pay a higher yield. With treasuries falling and the yield rising it becomes more expensive for them to borrow and could cut future dividends or force them to return capital.
It also broke the lower trendline in a declining channel as well as losing January lows.
