TEI - Not a big fan of closed end funds. If your looking for a foreign income fund you may want to look at American Century Intl. Bond, BEGBX. Low expenses and good 1/5 year returns.
 

And thats why they play the game.

Made some money shorting WFMI, but haven't looked at them lately. Do they have a store down in your hood? We have one close by, but I never go. Is it more healthy? Possibly, but I can't find any value there compared to a conventional market. And the parking lot is a joke.

I also have a problem with their philosophy of mixing politics with business. They are always boasting about how they pay more for GREEN POWER and think everyone should as well. That's when I feel like going:bigfinger

Good info Presto. I do not have a WFMI store near me and only ocassionally venture out to go there. It is more of a higher-end store and I know the area where my sister is they are packed every day I went there. Certainly caters to the discerning high-end customer. It had a huge run up and fell back to earth, but at these prices there is much upside for the future growth.

GNK is Genco Shipping. This stock has shot up huge the last few days. Some coverage was initiated on it. Not a glamour stock but a shipping with exposure to China. It showed up on my dividend screener with a 8.0% yield.
That plus the Chinese play makes it one to keep an eye on.

AINV is an investing subsidiary of the Apollo Group. I looked into this one further when Apollo was one of the companies to buy out Harrah's. Another whopping yield and this company has had a 35% return on equity for the past few years.
Rumors are going that the entire Apollo is going to be going public as well.

MXF is a closed-end Mexico Fund. I am looking to decrease U.S. exposure and feel that Asia is getting overexposed as well as Europe with the currency increases.
MXF yields a whopping 9.70% currently and there is certainly room to grow in the Mexican marketplace. If the peso can maintain valuation, this one looks like a good place for those wishing to diversify internationally.

NZT is basically the telephone company of New Zealand. Admittedly, I am not an expert on Oceania. This falls into my international diversification portfolio with MXF. An AT&T-like 4.60% yield with much more room to grow. If you look at the chart you will notice it dipped last July and has steadily climbed nearly 50% since then.

Good stuff Heart, thanks for the input. GNK should have made you pretty happy the last few days.
WFMI has much room to add stores. I think it has hit its bottom

Disclosure: I do not own any of these stocks, but am pondering most, if not, all.
