EOI: Buy And Hold Option Fund

EOI is a reliable, long-standing income-focused CEF with a 7.6% yield, but trades at a premium to NAV, justifying my continued hold rating. The fund's option-writing strategy generates income but limits capital appreciation, making it best for income-seeking investors, not those prioritizing growth. EOI's distributions are tax-efficient and supported by high-quality holdings, but net investment income remains weak and downside protection is limited.

EOI: Options Writing Fund Delivering ~8% Distribution Yield, But Premium Remains Sticky

EOI offers a strong track record, delivering total returns and reliable monthly distributions, making it an attractive choice for income-focused investors.
