BDJ: NAV Remains Resilient Through Market Uncertainty
I maintain a buy rating on BDJ for its consistent 8.8% dividend yield, attractive NAV resilience, and diversified investment approach. BDJ's option strategy generates high income but limits upside, making it ideal for income-focused investors, particularly retirees. The fund's current discount to NAV presents an attractive accumulation opportunity, despite underperforming traditional dividend growth ETFs.

8 Closed-End Fund Buys (And 2 Sells) In The Month Of March 2025
This month we got some increased market volatility, allowing me to put some of my cash pile to work in my closed-end fund portfolio. I also sold out of two positions, as they were starting to become on the more expensive side in terms of discounts/premiums. Adding to my positions regularly every month increases my cash flow annually, and even every month it grows.

BDJ: Discount Narrows But Still Worth Holding For The Steady Monthly Distribution
BlackRock Enhanced Equity Dividend Fund has seen solid performance, benefiting from value-oriented sectors and a narrowing discount. BlackRock announced another discount management program but with changes, making it less likely to trigger tender offers but still potentially providing some support against wider discounts. The fund offers an attractive 8.38% distribution yield, which is supported by the fund's portfolio holdings and options writing strategy.
