The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Suggest taking a look at the PIMCO bond+ / income CEFs, such as PDO, PDI, PAXS etc for professionally managed higher yielding funds. 9%+ yields. Worth a corner of our portfolios in a declining interest rate environment.

Thanks.

While 99.9%+ of the time I don't buy things people talk about, it is always worth looking at them and once in a while something interests me, or causes me to go down a path where I do find something I want to get.

While I don't have any crypto stuff in general, I did buy BLOK earlier this year and that has done well. I don't usually buy stuff like that anymore. I didn't want to buy actual crypto currencies but thought tech that they use might be useful.

Thanks
Rich
