Invesco Van Kampen Muni Oppo (VMO) Price Action

The price action of Invesco Van Kampen Muni Opportunity (Ticker: VMO) is reversed. This National Muni bond CEF provides a short term swing between gain and loss on December 6, 2010.

Looks to me, the price action on last Friday is a fluke. Probably due to fat finger or computer algo went crazy. :).

The Invesco Van Kampen Muni Oppo (VMO) fund lost another -10.60% after 10% moved last friday. Lucky me I sold it.
