13+% Dividend Yields: 1 To Buy And 1 To Avoid
My portfolio focuses on high-yielding stocks, as they are ideal components of an opportunistic capital recycling strategy. That said, not all high-yield stocks make for good investments. I share one stock with a dividend yield of over 13% that I would avoid right now.

2 BDCs That Could Be The Next Stars In The Sector
The BDC segment offers significant opportunities for retail investors due to low competition from institutional investors and potential valuation inefficiencies. The best thing that could happen is if we identify these inefficiencies within BDCs that carry robust fundamentals and safe dividend coverage levels. In this article, I share two picks, which, in my opinion, are set to become the next stars in the BDC space (similar to BXSL).

BIZD: Exceed 10% Yields With This ETF Rather Than Picking Individual BDCs
I am bullish on BDCs and BIZD for 2025 due to a lower-rate environment, potential deregulation, and lower corporate taxes, which will drive growth. BIZD offers a diversified, high-yield income investment in BDCs, eliminating single stock risk and providing over 10% yield despite its 13.33% expense ratio. Investing in BIZD mitigates the complexities of researching individual BDCs, offering a consistent high dividend and exposure to top-performing BDCs like ARCC, FSK, and OBDC.

BIZD Vs. PBDC: Simple Choice For Conservative Income Investors
The BDC universe is small, with less than 50 players, and only 4 have market cap levels exceeding $5 billion. Hence, retail and income-oriented investors can exploit high yields and market inefficiencies due to less competition from institutional "smart money". If, however, there is a willingness to enter the BDC universe via ETFs, there are only two meaningful options - BIZD and PBDC.

Investing In BDCs For 10%+ Yields? This Is What Matters Now
When investing for 10%+ BDC yields, investors have to pay extra attention to leverage, dividend coverage, and portfolio quality. Going into Q3, 2024 earnings season, my expectation was that we would see elevated volatility levels and falling NII results. While the actual results have been mostly positive for high-quality BDCs (and even for some speculative picks), many risks remain open.

Dividend Cut Alert: 13-14% Yields Getting Too Risky
Sky-high dividends of 13-14% are appealing but often come with significant risks. I discuss two stocks that have fully covered 13% and 14% yields that have a lot going for them and look deeply undervalued. However, I believe their dividends are at risk of getting cut soon.
