It is now Year 2 of my Mom's retirement and I am constructing this portfolio as if I had to start from scratch.

They are at a 9% discount to NAV. They pay a 5.45% dividend rate. Both Karpus and activist fund, Chapman Capital, are shareholders, which makes me think that at some point the activists are going to press them to open up the fund in order to close the discount to NAV.

Insured Municipal Income Fund trades at an 11.65% discount to its net asset value and has a 4.49% tax free yield. There is extremely litter risk of default since the underlying loans are insured.

Black Rock Corporate High Yield Fund III, 8% discount to NAV, 8.28% dividend. The thing I like about this corporate bond fund is that they have not reduced their dividend.

Their discount to NAV has widened recently due to the real estate fallout. And yet they own many healthcare REITs and office REITs which are not affected as much by the housing bust. They pay a 7% dividend and are at a 13% discount to NAV. They have not lowered their dividend since they went public.
