<description><![CDATA[Thanks for the info. E-trade does trade it and doesn't charge any fee to purchase the fund. If you can ride out this credit/mortgage crisis for the next several months this may make a good long term investment and at this price it can't hurt to dabble. I wouldn't invest a ton of money in it and the expense ratio is fair.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[RMK CEFs vs. RMK Select Intermed Bond Fund]]></title>
<link>http://messages.finance.yahoo.com/Mutual_Funds_%28A_to_Z%29/Mutual_Funds_R/threadview?m=tm&amp;bn=36039&amp;tid=5&amp;mid=5&amp;tof=3&amp;off=1</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hi all, I've been watching RMK's (Regions Morgan Keegan's) closed-end income funds (CEFs) for awhile. I was even in RMA and RSF briefly for a 5% loss back in Oct. 2007. Recently I discovered RMK's RIBCX, which has SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER CREDIT QUALITY than RMA, RHY, RSF, and RMH, yet with a 76% NAV loss (without leverage) since 12/31/06. It is the RMK Select Intermediate Bond Fund (RIBCX, MKIBX, and RIBIX). I am buying a large amount of RIBCX; I have no other association with RMK. 

RIBCX invests mostly in shares of packages of mortgages (CDOs and CMOs). As of 12/31/07, 49% of its holdings were rated between AAA and A-. 27% were rated between BBB+ and BBB-. 24% were rated BB or lower. (Those ratings have probably come down somewhat since 12/31/07.) The fund is NOT leveraged, and never has been as far as I know. 

RIBCX's expense ratio is 1.11%, and there is a 1% charge if you sell within the first 12 months after purchase. As of 12/31/07, the fund holds 87 different securities. Unlike RMK's CEFs, there's no need to worry having to sell at discounts to NAV. Also, there's no need to worry about the bid/ask spread when you trade. 

I'm not predicting any quick turnaround in home prices or the prices of CDOs and CMOs. I just see SO much fear in those markets that I think it's likely a large overreaction. Eventually I think those markets will come to their senses. Here are some relevant links: 

<a href=http://www.morgankeegan.com/MK/Investing...>http://www.morgankeegan.com/MK/Investing...</a>

<a href=http://www.morgankeegan.com/NR/rdonlyres...>http://www.morgankeegan.com/NR/rdonlyres...</a>
(especially pp.14-24) 

TD Ameritrade does not trade RIBCX; <a href=http://www.rmkbrokerage.com>www.rmkbrokerage.com</a> and some other brokers do trade it. I just set up an account at RMK brokerage. To set up an account click on "Forms," and "New Account Questionnaire" and "W-9," print them out, fill them out, then fax to 501-371-6521. The "account transfer form" has wiring and ACH instructions. The phone for Morgan Keegan Brokerage is 800-222-8866. 

Note that the losses in various Morgan Keegan bond mutual funds and CEFs have prompted shareholder lawsuits, but any settlements or judgments would come out of Regions/Morgan Keegan, not out of the funds themselves. Best, Neil]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Any thoughts on whether to hold this fund or get out now? Bought when NAV was $9.95; now it's $8.88. My contact at RMK is complaining that the CDOs the fund holds are completely illiquid & must continually be marked down at present. Any ideas?]]></description>
