I'm a retired lawyer who's been investing successfully in stocks since age 19, decades ago. My own portfolio of blue chips is at record high, along with the Dow and S&P 500. I'm very rarely wrong when it comes to stocks.

Your first question about CRF should be: How does CRF pay out such ridiculously high dividends when its underlying portfolio consists of mundane blue chips? For example, CRF's top three holdings were Amazon, Microsoft and Apple. They pay out about 1% in dividends.

Have you looked at its payout history going back to, say, the Great Recession in 2008?
