Looking at buying into BST, but it's currently trading at a very high premium. What's "normal" for a closed-end fund?

You can currently get some exposure to Anduril via BST
SoFi’s Q3 2025 earnings conference call is scheduled for Tuesday, October 28, 2025 at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time (14:00 CET/13:00 BST/09:00 BRT/05:00 PT).
Because you said dividends: BST, LYB, PFE, TGT, VZ
Buy BST for exposure to Anduril. Had a FA recommend to me almost a decade ago. Great CEF, with investments in private companies. A little pricey expense ratio though but worth it to me for steady payout, growth and exposure.
I paper handed CFS from the TECH100 CFDs as high as when it was 23800 at midnight BST UK time. Fucking idiot. At least back in and making my initial small losses back. I need some form of internal rules to only make one large move a day to save myself from my stupidity! Would be up so much ffs
As of 20:57pm BST you must be in profit now by quite a bit? I'm assuming its CFD's so 1:5 leverage give or take.
Liquidity will be really poor. Sounds like a scam. Real casino opens at 14:30 BST
I put 26% of my annual income into my Roth 401K. Fill up the max $23.5K 401K limit, then the rest goes into Megabackdoor Roth. Mostly put it in a variety of ETF's (QQQM, XLK, SMH). I also have a rental that I put any after-tax rent (2k/month) into a CEF (BST) that pays a monthly dividend at an 8% annual rate. Trying to generate some additional stream of cash.
He's set to at half past of this coming hour (5:30pm EST, 10:30pm BST, 11:30pm CET)

You are a BST bro now, and so am I
You might want to look into some CEFs (closed end funds). There are a couple that are pretty stable and pay a monthly dividend. GOF has a fantastic yield with pretty good stability. BST also pays 8%, however it has moved around a lot more. At 505k, GOF would pay $5914 per month. Of course taxes would be due. I don't believe it is a qualified dividend. BST would pay $3704 per month if you put your full value into it. Maybe find another two or a combination of these with some better growth/dividend options like VIG or VYM(less beta) to hit your targets. Do your research. I have watched GOF for 10 years,and it is in my longterm plan for yield without principal degradation. I have held both of these in 3-4 year stints as well(not a true longterm test, but the charts hold up). Run your compounding numbers as well. If you hit your yield goals and you don't pull out the full dividend, you will see the snowball grow. Good luck.
Wall Street is in New York and observes Daylight Savings Time. DST starts the second Sunday in March for the US. It's not British Summer Time yet. BST occurs on the last Sunday in March.
The spread in DST and BST means I can get into the casino earlier in the UK. Thanks yanks
This will not kill Reddit, but this experiment may not go as well as Reddit hopes. > Some subreddits, like [r/Watchexchange](https://www.reddit.com/r/Watchexchange/), where Redditors “buy, sell or trade watches,” according to the subreddit’s description, are centered on transactions. Huffman said the fact that users are already “transacting on Reddit kind of opens the door” for such monetization. The whole reason why various BST (buy/sell/trade) subreddits exists is because they are accessible and does not have any platform fees. Unless Reddit can offer an enhanced service such as opt-in buyer's protection or much cheaper shipping, this isn't going to work well for Reddit. I can see Reddit potentially using private paid subreddits as a way to eat into Onlyfan's business model and that can potentially be a gold mine - assuming if investors are okay with it. The whole issue with moderation is still a tick timebomb. The fact that mods in default subs can effectively control the narrative of things like news is still very concerning - then again, doubt that is going to run into any actual legal issues in the US given how the current trend with media is bending the knee.
always was a memestock best ev I’ve ever driven was definitely not a Tesla but a Polestar 2 BST, holy shit does that thing feel good
Don't get your hopes too high. Last time the CFO fucked up big time at the conference. But we will fuck around and find out at: **5 February 2025** * 13:00-14:15 (CET) * 12:00-13:15 (BST) * 07:00-08:15 (EDT) Good sign tho is that they have increased market share for GLP-1.
I like to get things on sale, but I don't want to go all in on tech, so I'm buying shares in Blackrock Science & Tech Trust (BST). It gives a little exposure to tech while paying 8% in dividends. It holds a portfolio of tech stocks, including Nvidia, and was down about 2% today.
You may want to consider the BST method
Maybe BST - Blackrock Science and Technology Trust. I've been in it >1 year and it has reliably returned a 9.5% dividend, paid monthly.

Every time I see/hear Cramer, he reminds me of Marvin from the original Wall Street movie. And ironically, a Marvin quote is most apropos; “Ken, this is Marvin at Jackson-Steinem. We’ve gotta DUMP this baby! Yeah, you’ve got to take the money and RUN on BST! Yeah, we’re pulling out now.”
As many Redditors have stated already you can't go too wrong with VOO, VT and/or VTI. If a market disaster happens you'll find that nearly all funds and stocks will have the same trend lines. Personally, I'm a fan of dividend paying funds or stocks as well. Because in most cases, the dividend paying companies and funds continue to pay unless they hit some financial dire straits. Check out [https://www.buyupside.com](https://www.buyupside.com) - Dividend Aristocrats which will show companies that have paid dividends year in and year out for 25 consecutive years or more. That site also has good AI stock information. Note that technology changes quickly so expect AI/Biotech to be volatile. I personally enjoy monthly paying dividends to smooth the income stream. Most companies pay quarterly. Closed End Funds frequently pay monthly. I use [https://www.cefconnect.com](https://www.cefconnect.com) to evaluate Closed End Funds. Funds I have are: CII, CSQ, BST - more tech focused but pay a dividend monthly. UTF and UTG - more utility focused and should do better in a lowering interest rate environment BME - Pharma focused fund Everything has risk. There will always be ups and downs.
Biggest losses. yield chasing.... Bought trash like nly Agnc arr. That was early 2000s I'd say biggest gains were amd. Bought at 8$. Nvda around 250. Avgo @400. Texas roadhouse - started buying at 35. I work in semicon industry so I have a lot of holdings in that space (25) and most are up a significant amount. I don't think I have any like 5000% gains in anything. I do watch trends and have made moves in the past few months like Nke up 13% Knsl up 23% Pag up 16% Zs up 14% Mchp up 10% Only loser is Dutch Bros down 4% Current biggest losses would be BST and BSTZ clearly didn't learn the yield chasing lesson fully.
These are my largest holdings in my taxable account. not encompassing retirement which is all etfs. We all make mistakes you will find some in there too... BST, BSTZ, TROW, YMAG - will likely tax harvest most to partially offset \~ 150k in realized LTCG this year.
Gotta boss. V4S BST carbon rims for you
Looks pretty good in div yld and does seem like its losing value like some ive seen but the fee kind of make it just around 5%. BST seems better but that's after the 50% drop. So I guess you are just managing your funds to avg around 7% which gives you like 100k income. Which is very good. Maybe I'll do something when I can get my millions in my dreams to come true.
Ones I have are CSQ, BST…I don’t think they are the best. But through the years they never cut payments.
My Indian friends: you have EST. We have BST brown standard time
Basket of stocks. Concentrations in NVDA, LLY, FSLR, FXAIX, BST, HTGC, META, NVDA, NVO, and RDDT. Some other cats and dogs.
I have some good dividend payers like BST, but SCHD has been absolute cancer for returns
I hate SCHD so much. Ive been buying it for 6 years now so it stays at about 30% of my portfolio. The returns have been truly awful. It used to be the case that it kinda sorta tracked with the DOW but it seems to be red now every day. Its never green more than any of the indices. I havent bought any in over a year but im actually thinking about selling it now. I just know that once i do though itll start moving up. Most frustrated part is my portfolio would be about 80k higher if i just bought spy over that some time period. FUCK SCHD. The dividend is not even very good. My BST position is up 20% AND it has an 8% dividend.
BST has outperformed spy for nearly 10y using a covered call strategy. They exist.
I don’t like O too much. It has a lot of retail which we’re staying away from. It has a lot clientele that are closing various locations. I think it’s overpriced for what you get on the dividend. BST is a better bet for your 25 cents. You can get the same quarter for around $35 with BST. We are hitting housing and infrastructures for our REITs right now. But everyone can make their own decisions.
> You missed commerce. Imagine if they made real BST functionality. I like hardwareswap, but all the BST subs are run by mods (and run quite well). There's probably some $$ to be made if they make something like that more native.
For the most part none pay crazy high dividends. My largest holdings is Avgo Blackstone JPM Texas Roadhouse ABBV Merck Lvhm Parker Hannifin As examples. I have 58 positions I have small positions in BST and Jepq
cef connect for BST metrics ..hugh monthly payout plus every few years massive extra payout. To compare BST against other prospective investments use [https://www.portfoliovisualizer.com/backtest-portfolio](https://www.portfoliovisualizer.com/backtest-portfolio) gains are taxed as Long term usually ..some times a little return of capital which is constructive ie good. videos on youtube,
This is the answer and most will not like it but I have traded and won in options but doing much better and less taxes with BST cef,,,lots of monthly income and great portfolio growth …ie an etf dong my options for me…paying me monthly.
For my stage in life , dump in my income portfolio SVOL , BST, JEPQ, CLM, JEPI , DIVO and live nicely in Querétaro Mex ……
BST has underperformed a bit but I like the thesis and management.
Thanks BST. I think this is what is keeping this stock down. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Investors shall: by January 31, 2024, exchange, assign, transfer and sell ("Transfer") US$5 million principal amount of 2025 Convertible Notes in consideration of Common Shares issued at a price per Common Share equal to the greater of CAD$0.41 per Common Share and the 12.5% discount to the 5-day volume weighted average price of the Common Shares (the "Initial Exchange Price") on Cboe Canada Inc. (the "Exchange") prior to receipt of a Transfer notice; ATB brokered this deal. They know how to keep a stock price down. It is most likely their investors who get more shares of the stock the lower the price is on 1/31. .41 CAD is .30 USD. There will be another 5m deal at the end of February and then again the last 15m in June. I think it’s highly likely the stock is being manipulated right now. Sucks as it’s my largest holding by far. Just my opinion. Downvote all you want.
These picks look solid. I'm also considering buying KREST, Matic, and BST as they exhibit great utility and long-term hold potential.
get the degenerate trash out of there, something like BST, STK, ARCC, ABR, JEPI, JEPQ, YTSL, maybe SVOL (not TSLY) actually prints, without erroding, some even keep up with SPY growthwise, while still getting around 1% per month.
VTI and the like aren't going anywhere anytime soon, that's for sure. Markets are dead for a while, there are no catalysts left. Fed is going to slow the economy or cause a recession, it's a fact. I enjoy getting paid by BST every month and the 9.5 percent dividend is juicy in flat markets, especially in a Roth.
You can buy shares in BST (BlackRocjk Science and Technology) for $32.57 as of tonight, and still get paid a monthly dividend of $.25 per month. So, you can get $.50 every month if you buy two shares of BST instead of one share of O. Just something to think about. We do not have O in our portfolio. We have ARB instead. Arbor lends to developers that build multi family housing, and that’s hot hot hot. It has a good price and a decent dividend. You might want to consider that instead of O.
The automated cashflow is nice and there are quite a few that outperformed SPY / VOO, Or at least performed the same but with less volatility. There are great funds out there, ignorance goes both ways. This will get down-voted anyway, so i'am not going into detail, but just a quick example: [Link](https://www.portfoliovisualizer.com/backtest-portfolio?s=y&timePeriod=4&startYear=1985&firstMonth=1&endYear=2023&lastMonth=12&calendarAligned=true&includeYTD=true&initialAmount=1000000&annualOperation=0&annualAdjustment=0&inflationAdjusted=true&annualPercentage=0.0&frequency=4&rebalanceType=1&absoluteDeviation=5.0&relativeDeviation=25.0&leverageType=0&leverageRatio=0.0&debtAmount=0&debtInterest=0.0&maintenanceMargin=25.0&leveragedBenchmark=false&reinvestDividends=true&showYield=true&showFactors=false&factorModel=3&benchmark=VFINX&portfolioNames=false&portfolioName1=Portfolio+1&portfolioName2=Portfolio+2&portfolioName3=Portfolio+3&symbol1=BST&allocation1_1=100&symbol2=STK&allocation2_2=100&symbol3=ABR&allocation3_3=100)
BST, AMD, SOFI are all decent options for long term gains
Closed end Mutual Funds can provide monthly income and they can periodically be bought below their net assets value. These are not tax efficient and regularly underperform the market but they tend to perform better in downturns and can provide supplemental income. I recommend black rocks numerous funds my favorite being BST( black rock science and technology ). A more risky method that has made me a great deal of money would be selling 0DTE options on ES and NQ in a portfolio margin brokerage account. If you sell towards the very top or bottom of the options chain you can sell options that have 90%+ chance of not being executed. If they are executed it wouldn’t be a big deal unless it was a big crash. you can achieve serious gains over a year doing this but please do this at your own risk and understand leverage and futures completely before trading. I have lost lots of money doing this several times but over the long run it has worked out very well.
VTI performance has partly been driven by ZIRP / TINA. Those aren't the case anymore and aren't likely anytime soon. I own a lot of VTI or similar but as funds like BST come back to reality I'll be adding there. The 9 percent dividend with upside is attractive as the price comes back in.
BST is my favorite right now

BST…Black Rock Science and Tech fund. It has a very high dividend but its capital growth is strong enough that your principle investment will continue to grow.
Look at something like BST. It’s been around a while and consistently pays a great dividend while still having strong capital growth that exceeds the payouts so it’s not robbing the coffers to make dividend payouts.
I am the Goodwood Festival of Speed in the UK. It’s like car Mecca. Today I have seen: All gen 911s, including Dakar and GT3 RS. NIO ET5, I believe first ever UK showing Stinger reimagined 911. Polestar BST 2, 3, 5, Roadster concept MG Roadster All manners of Ferrari, including 1 of 1s All there current gen Lotus HiPhi EVs Hyundai N5 I like to see real products of things I own shares in 🤣
Instead of VTI, consider something like BST so they can take advantage of a strong dividend yield for additional retirement income. Back testing $150,000 in BST vs VTI shows that from 2015 to 2023, without reinvesting dividends, the BST investment would grow to $293,690 vs $311,717 for VTI. However, BST returned $168,469 in dividend income vs $32,026 for VTI. That's a huge difference in income for a retiree.
actually i replaced the lettuce with spinach so it's a BST
Yes. JEPI, BST, DIVO, etc do some variation of the same thing. Others like QYLD, XYLD, RYLD are strictly generating as much cash as possible with options and don't grow. They've got down while markets have gone up and are to be avoided IMO unless you are desperate.
Just checked out BST, they ate selling call options too right? Otherwise how would they get 9 percent dividend
5 percent in cash is as low risk and high yield as it's going to get. Everything else is exposed to market risk. I like BST a lot at this price but people whine about the expense ratio. It's all about the consistent dividend and price appreciation for me.
1:30pm BST (uk time) just convert that to wherever you are :)
China ETF? At least BST has 9% dividend.

I like polestar. But the SUV model 3 is ugly and over priced. The model 2 BST Edition version, being a sports car fan, looked wonderful but received quite poor reviews. I guess there is always model 5 and 6. Still think the roadster is the best 2 door EV sports car, yet to be released NB - even before I look at finances thing, I always assess the company on their products. Only if they pass that stage so I look at margins, profitability, etc
Already got exposure to them via $VTI and $BST
70% SCHD and 20% BST and 10% JEPI. Let it ride and drip for the next 20 years
A combination of preferred stocks, REITs, BDCs, CEFs and other funds may give you what you're after while being relatively recession-proof. * A number of cumulative preferreds can currently be bought at a large discount to par and yield over 7%. These obviously won't last forever, but the strategy can be rolled forward over the next years as the recovery takes place. * There are also "busted" and other perpetual, uncallable preferreds that can be used as part of a relatively stable core of an income-generating portfolio. * Many relatively solid REITs are currently so oversold that yields are enhanced and likelihood of outsized share price recovery is also high (though you generally wouldn't want to sell them). * With REITs and BDCs, being oversold / low on share price is a good thing as long as it's not due to loss of value in the underlying business/assets. * Most real estate (though not necessarily office and some classes of retail) is a naturally good recession and inflation hedge * Solid BDCs can also form a useful part of a recession-resistant portfolio. ARCC, for example, is a money machine. * There are a number of well-managed funds in tech, healthcare, etc. such as BST, BSTZ, THW and others, that can be expected to participate in the market recovery when it happens, and will pay you while you wait. To increase your chances of being set for life, **don't quit your day job quite yet**. The reason I say this is that 7% is a bit over the safe withdrawal limit of about 3.5-4%, which is calculated to generate income while keeping up with inflation over the long haul. But right now we're in an inflationary period as well as possibly on the edge of a deeper recession, as you note, and you also will need to have a good tax strategy. Your sequence-of-returns risk will be far lower if you can postpone drawing down the portfolio while it grows for even a year or two, accruing shares via DRIP.
BlackRock Science and Technology (BST), for me. Down -35% with an average cost of $47.12. Pretty much my entire P/L tied up in this fund.
Just ETFs, or are you open to CEFs as well? BST: tech with a focus on larger, established companies BSTZ: more speculative tech TPVG: pre-IPO venture-backed tech BIGZ: innovation and growth (a more sane ARK) All of these are well-managed, pay a decent dividend while you wait for the market to recover, and will participate nicely in an eventual tech recovery.
I believe traditional advice would have you going tax deferred accounts over UTMA. All of the stocks you want to buy are dividend heavy and will have an immense amount of tax drag in the long run. What is more, while I personally own each of those three stocks you mentioned (JEPI, BST, and SCHD), I’d only run with the latter. The covered cal strategy is not very fruitful. With regard to general stock picking, you’re looking at a rather short time horizon for the time between today and your Kids’ enrollment in college. That will typically advise a more conservative approach. You say the $1k is isn’t moving in the 529. That’s because a 529 is built to be a wealth builder and preserver. It will grow as you add money and it will intern provide a modest compound interest. It will track the market, so history will say that yields between 6% and 10% any given year. What’s more and most important about the 529- no tax drag. Finally, your stock picks are very volatile. This year is good evidence of that. Certainly to each his own, but I wouldn’t (and don’t) gamble with my kids’ college money. Finally, to the accounts. It is just me, but I’d highly suggest entertaining ESA accounts and putting more into your 529. ESA’s are like a Roth IRA, but they must be used for education. After tax earnings go in, and the returns/growth can be redeemed tax free if used in qualifying purchases. So all of your dividend stocks (which I wouldn’t use) won’t have a tax drag. You can put $2k per child into ESA’s per year. Unlike 529, you can pretty much buy any individual stock you want with an ESA. If you like stock picking autonomy, I’d go ESA, and once maxed out go the rest in 529. Just my .02, but I don’t ever see the value of a UTMA unless you have money falling out of your pockets, you’re a broker collecting fees or the IRS collecting tax.
Yup, I also have a few also staples like Pepsi. My best performer was BST (up almost 9%) but that shit's been a big stinker this year.
Most of my money is going into my M1 account that has about 30 different ETFs and stocks. Biggest holding in there is BST (covered call CEF based around tech stocks and only sells calls against 25% of holdings so much different from things like QYLD. As far as individual stocks TSLA, PATH, PINS are my biggest individual stocks. Also taking small positions in more speculative companies that I believe have huge upside potential like FUBO and PLNHF
Then yes typically SCHD is the way to go if you want growth plus dividends. If you want more science/tech BST and BSTZ might interest you. You seem to be a bit heavy on tech though so a good s&p like VOO or SPLG.

I think we all have to find that balance of investing what we fear might happen vs what historically tends to happen 80-90% of the time. In your scenario, the likes of JEPI, JEPQ, BST will be the winners and people who invest for the long term in dividends. Only need be concerned if you have a short term time horizon (5 years or less). Happy investing.
I'd invest 25% in JEPI, 25% in SCHD, 25% in BST, and 25% in hookers, blow, property, and exotic vacations.
Not until the big rate hikes stop so maybe end of year. Rather than VTI or QQQ which may have a prolonged downturn if rates stay high, I'll probably buy JEPI and BST. The dividend and DCA with some upside helps even things out.

Its like stock picking, they are solid income/dividend funds, with a sensible and sustainable strategy. Look at SCHD, BST (riskier / high vola), maybe JEPI and so on. The first two beat the S&P500 over multiple years and JEPI is new but outperforms the market atm. Would not go all in, if you dont need income atm. But decent funds have a place in a portfolio, no matter how they generate capital appriciation. For tax reasons they make more sense in a 401k most of the times.
