...lower stock prices are a cyclical fact of life, an opportunity to add to positions at lower prices.

How To Be Prepared For Rising Interest Rates
The purpose of income investments is the generation of income. You are not a bond trader... Control the quality selected, diversify properly, and compound that part of the income that you don't have to spend. Price is pretty much irrelevant; you can't pay the bills with market value.

Is Your Investment Portfolio Prepared For Higher Interest Rates?
Actually, the financial crisis was the only time that the CEFs "crashed" almost along with the stock market... they typically fall quite a bit less, get "discovered", and rise more quickly than the averages in the recovery.... Investment Grade Value Stocks also outperform the general market in terms of both drawdown and initial comeback.....
I use CEFs to DEVELOP an income program either as part of every portfolio or all of a retirement portfolio... a lower price most often (in my experience) is simply an opportunity to increase yield and decrease cost basis per share in one fell swoop.
Ironically, as a professional, I'm not permitted to give direct advice in a forum like this, or specifics...but as a general rule, it's best to treat income CEFs as income purpose securities regardless of what people think the "future" will bring.
