Readers Post 32 August Dividend Buy Candidates
Prior to August 31, 2023, my Readers mentioned 37 equities in their comments on my articles. Some bad-news investments (ROgues) mixed with (mostly) FAvorites. Thus, these are ReFa/Ro. Ten analyst-target-estimated TOP-NET-GAIN Re/Fa/Ro: PFE, PBR, O, T, BRSP, BTI, PRB.A, VOD, WBA, and MITT, averaged 48.7% net gains from reader data collected 8/18/23. Ten analyst-target-augured August TOP-PRICE-UPSIDE reader faves & rogues (ReFa/Ro) were: MMM, KHC, BRSP, T, O, PFE, BTI, VOD, WBA, & MITT boasting a 46.54% average target price upside estimate.

CRF: Better Stay With The SPY
The Cornerstone Total Return Fund has been underperforming the broad market, and its high dividends are not only entirely made from investment income but also include capital gains. There is a significant overlap between CRF and S&P 500, raising questions about potential closet indexing. In light of this, CRF investors may want to consider switching to the lower-cost SPY.

CRF: Why We Are Looking For At Least A 50% Price Drop In A Year
Cornerstone Total Return Fund has been a contentious fund to discuss. The fund has a huge following for its generous payouts.

Equity CEFs: Got High NAV Yield? Time To Really Swap GGT For CLM Or CRF
Don't believe for one second that any fund that doesn't cut its distribution, particularly with an astronomical 23.5% NAV yield, deserves a high premium. Because despite having the worst NAV performance of any CEF this year, down -44.4%, the Gabelli Multimedia Fund (GGT), did NOT cut its distribution even though it was supposed to.

CRF: Buy, Reinvest, Oversubscribe, Reap The Rewards
CRF offers investors a discounted DRIP option that enables discounted pricing on reinvested shares. With a forward yield of more than 18% there is an opportunity to realize an excellent total return while the fund is trading at a lower than average premium.

0 out of 23 CEF sectors are positive on price and 0 out of 23 sectors are positive on NAV over the last week. BlackRock CEFs are repurchasing their shares.

Cornerstone Total Return Fund: Save Yourself A Headache
The 2023 distribution could be 30% lower than the current CRF dividend yield. The fund has an established 20-year trend of NAV destruction.
