CEFChannel.com
Closed End Funds (CEFs) are an interesting category of investment funds because for any given CEF, a fixed amount of capital is raised and then the shares of the fund are traded just like any other stock. This means the pricing of the fund's shares in the market will react to fluctuating supply and demand forces, creating situations where shares of the fund may trade above or below the per-share net asset value. Investors must therefore consider not just the investment objectives of the fund, not just the quality of the fund's management, not just the performance of a fund's underlying portfolio, but also consider when shares of the fund are trading at attractive entry/exit points.

After the user makes their prediction, the answer is shown, with the last two weeks of the same chart now filled in with the actual historical data.

The result is an indicator that measures momentum, oscillating between "oversold" and "overbought" on a scale of zero to 100. A reading below 30 is viewed to be oversold, which a bullish investor could look to as a sign that the selling is in the process of exhausting itself, and look for entry point opportunities. A reading above 70 is viewed to be overbought, which could indicate that a rally in progress is starting to get crowded with buyers. If the rally has been a long one, that could be a sign that a pullback is overdue.
