Item 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER
   

This Amendment No. 8 amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on 1/6/17, Amendment No. 1 filed on 1/27/17, Amendment No 2 filed on 2/13/17, Amendment No 3 filed on 3/13/17, Amendment No 4 filed on 4/10/17, Amendment No 5 filed on 4/20/17, Amendment No 6 filed on 4/28/17, and Amendment No 7 filed on 7/11/17. Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2, Amendment No. 3, Amendment No. 4, Amendment No. 5, Amendment No. 6, Amendment No. 7, Amendment No. 8, and the Original Schedule 13D, with respect to the shares of common stock, (the Shares), of Clough Global Opportunities Fund (the Issuer). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 8 have the meanings set forth in the Original Schedule 13D, Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2, Amendment No. 3, Amendment No. 4, Amendment No. 5, Amendment No. 6, and Amendment No. 7. This Amendment No. 8 amends Items 3 and 5 as set forth below.

   
Item 3.

SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

   

Funds for the purchase of the Common Shares were derived from the subscription proceeds from investors in SCMF, SCMF II, SCLMF, SCS, SCEF 1, SCEF 2, and Saba Closed-End Funds ETF and the capital appreciation thereon and margin account borrowings made in the ordinary course of business. In such instances, the positions held in the margin accounts are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the account, which may exist from time to time. Since other securities are held in the margin accounts, it is not possible to determine the amounts, if any, of margin used to purchase the Common Shares reported herein. A total of $14,525,559 was paid to acquire the Common Shares reported herein.

   
Item 5.
