Dmitriy Sidor/iStock via Getty Images Written by Nick Ackerman, co-produced by Stanford Chemist Closed-end funds can be fairly unique investment wrappers in that the share price can trade wildly differently from the underlying net asset value per share. That creates attractive opportunities to pick up exposure in a fund at a discounted bargain price. Of course, CEFs can trade at discounts for an endless amount of time. So we don't simply look at those with the largest discount and believe they are necessarily the best buys—that can happen if they look like they are being targeted by activists, but those are more tactical trades. Instead, we look at relative discount levels compared to the historical discount levels. This is then essentially a mean reversion play on expecting the market to eventually shift the fund back up to its narrower discount level. While that isn't always guaranteed to happen, it also helps provide some type of discount floor. Funds can always continue to trade at wider discounts, but when already at a deep discount, we've tended to observe that added pressures from even further discounting are limited. With all that said, we are looking at two such opportunities today of funds that are trading at historically deep discount levels. That includes the Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Dividend Income Fund ( ETG ) and BlackRock Science and Technology Trust ( BST ). #1 Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Dividend Income Fund 1-Year Z-score: -2.96. Discount/Premium: -10.63%. Distribution Yield: 7.15%. Expense Ratio: 1.12% (2.28% with leverage costs). Leverage: 16.65%. Managed Assets: $2.22 billion. Structure: Perpetual. ETG invests "primarily in global dividend-paying common and preferred stocks and seeks to distribute a high level of dividend income that qualifies for favorable federal income tax treatment." This is a fund that primarily invests in equity positions but also includes a small sleeve of preferred/fixed income. That essentially makes a more leveraged ...

Home secretary indicates Whitehall talks about returns programme, a move that would shock humanitarian groups Shabana Mahmood has refused to rule out sending rejected Afghan asylum seekers back to the Taliban-controlled country. The home secretary said she is “monitoring very closely” talks between Kabul and EU countries about a returns programme for refused claimants. She also indicated that “additional conversations” about Afghan returns were happening inside Whitehall. Continue reading...

The chatshow host lifts the energy of this game where families battle to avoid being voted out of a street they move into. But he’s not onscreen often enough to save it I’ve had a good idea. Let’s apply for a moratorium on new reality shows, at least until the frenzied desire for a challenger to The Traitors’ crown is over. Otherwise they’re just going to keep happening. The Neighbourhood – presented by Graham Norton, its saving grace – is the latest to throw its cap into the ring. Six families take up residence in a suburban close (the neighbourhood, you get it) and each is aiming to be the last one voted out and thus claim the uncustomarily large pot of £250,000. This at least suggests that someone in the TV commissioning offices is beginning to understand the concept of inflation and the truth that yer 50 or 100ks are no longer universally life-changing amounts of money but closer to being a month’s rent or the price of a tank of petrol.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo., April 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Paul Mueller Company (OTC: MUEL) today announced earnings for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

SINGAPORE, April 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BGIN BLOCKCHAIN LIMITED (“BGIN” or the “Company”; NASDAQ: BGIN), a digital asset technology company with proprietary cryptocurrency mining technologies and a manufacturer of cryptocurrency mining hardware, today released its unaudited financial results for the year ended December 31, 2025.

美國司法部對聯儲局主席鮑威爾，撤銷刑事調查，檢察官指聯儲局翻新工程超支，改由聯儲局監察長調查。早前有法官質疑司法部沒有證據，證明鮑威爾在工程有犯罪行為。 美國聯儲局主席鮑威爾的任期，將於下月15日屆滿，其理事任期直到2028年1月底。美國總統特朗普不僅多次批評他，不願減息或減息太慢，亦不滿聯儲局總部翻新工程嚴重超支，由2024年近19億美元預算，增至目前廿多億美元。 美國傳媒在一月報道，司法部及華盛頓特區，聯邦檢察官辦公室，對聯儲局及鮑威爾展開刑事調查，以查明他就聯儲局翻新工程及預算，有否作出不實陳述及誤導國會。 到了周五，華盛頓特區聯邦檢察官皮羅，宣布美國司法部撤銷相關刑事調查。她指聯儲局翻新工程超支，要由納稅人承擔，聯儲局監察長有責任調查此事。她希望盡早收到報告，又強調一旦有需要的話，將來可能重新刑事調查。 《華盛頓郵報》早前取得法庭文件，指司法部刑事調查聯儲局期間，沒有發現不當行為。 華盛頓特區聯邦地區法官博斯伯格，上月指司法部及檢察部門，未有提供足夠證據，以證明鮑威爾有犯罪行為，更質疑司法部向鮑威爾發出傳票，可能是試圖施壓迫對方盡快減息。 有輿論認為司法部撤銷刑事調查，有利參議院確認沃什，出任聯儲局主席的提名。原因是北卡羅來納州共和黨參議員蒂利斯表明，除非司法部對鮑威爾撤銷刑事調查，否則他會阻止聯儲局主席提名人選。白宮就稱有信心，參議院很快確認沃什的提名。

S&P Global Ratings cut the outlook on Finland ’s debt to negative from stable, as the Nordic nation’s debt pile keeps growing. “The negative outlook reflects persistent risks to Finnish public finances stemming from low growth, aging demographics, and rising defense and interest expenditure , ” rating company said in a statement , that also saw the country’s rating maintained at AA+ , the second-highest grade and nine levels above junk. Finland’s debt reached about 88.5% of gross domestic product at the end of 2025, according to Eurostat . While many European nations have larger debt loads, Finland’s is currently growing at the fastest pace in the European Union, in part as it ramps up defense spending due to neighboring Russia’s worsening tensions with NATO. “In the absence of deeper consolidation efforts, or more buoyant growth, we see risks that Finland’s general government debt to GDP will continue to increase to almost 95% by 2029 and higher thereafter,” S&P said. It isn’t the only credit assessor to take notice: In July 2025, Finland suffered its first credit downgrade in almost a decade when Fitch Ratings lowered its rating by one notch from AA+ to AA, citing insufficient fiscal consolidation to stabilize the country’s high debt over the medium term. Read More: Finland’s Credit Rating Cut at Fitch as Debt Pile Keeps Growing S&P’s “decision unfortunately signals that there are generally pressures toward a downgrade in the credit rating,” Finance Minister Riikka Purra told Yle on Saturday, adding that the outlook change would have no immediate impact on Finland’s debt-servicing costs. “If the state of public finances does not improve, then of course it is a very bad development, but we are not yet in an acute crisis,” she said. In addition to Russia’s war against Ukraine, the war in the Middle East will delay Finland’s economic recovery. High oil prices are weakening external demand and households’ purchasing power, hampering the growth of both exports and priv...

cbarnesphotography/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images My Investing Philosophy I like quality companies that pay rising dividends. I also like to find companies that fit these definitions that are out of favor and selling at a discount to their respective fair values. I use multiple sources of analysis and expected growth rates as well as articles, opinions, and corporate data releases/presentations. But I prefer to discern from all that for myself what I really expect from a company and then plug my assumptions into my models to find what I believe to be the true fair value of a company based upon discounted future cash flows and my own required rate of return. I like to add stocks of companies to my portfolio that I expect to have competitive advantages, good management, and strong balance sheets combined with a business model that has weathered multiple periods of economic and geopolitical turmoil only to emerge stronger, which demonstrates resilience. I believe that Keurig Dr Pepper ( KDP ) fits into that description and I will use this article to explain why. Company Background Keurig Dr Pepper has formed as a result of the merger between Dr Pepper Snapple (DPS) and Keurig Green Mountain in mid-2018. The company ranks as the third largest non-alcoholic beverage company in the U.S. behind PepsiCo ( PEP ) and Coca-Cola ( KO ). KDP has three reporting units: U.S. Refreshment Beverages, U.S. Coffee, and International. Its major brands include Dr Pepper, Snapple, Keurig, Sunkist, Canada Dry, 7UP, A&W Root Beer, Core, and Bai, among others. KDP announced an acquisition of JDE Peet’s, a Dutch coffee company, for ~$18.4B. According to management , when the acquisition is completed and operations integrated, the company plans to spin off the combined Keurig and JDE Peet’s Coffee as a separate, standalone coffee company listed in the U.S. This is expected to allow the two distinct companies to focus on respective growth and capital allocation without the stress of vying f...
