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.

CION Investment Corporation: 12.5% Yield, P/NAV Of 0.73x Makes It A Buy
CION Investment Corporation is a deeply discounted high yield play. The market is concerned about CION's PIK and portfolio volatility. Looking at the fundamentals, I simply can't rationalize the ~27% discount to NAV.

2 BDCs Everyone Seems To Overlook
CION Investment Corp. and Chicago Atlantic BDC are overlooked small-cap BDCs that offer high yields for dividend investors. CION has strong fundamentals, solid dividend coverage, and trades at a 26% discount to NAV, making it an attractive entry point. Chicago Atlantic BDC, the only cannabis-focused BDC, has diversified its portfolio, boasts a clean balance sheet, and trades at a slight discount.

Invest In All Weather BDC Dividend Portfolio
The All Weather Portfolio concept introduced by Ray Dalio aims for stable returns through largely uncorrelated investment exposures. In this article, I have tried to apply the essence of such a construct for BDC dividend-seeking investments. The sample portfolio, which is presented in the article, consists of three structural layers that are not that correlated and offer different risk and reward profiles.

CION Investment Corp: A Quality BDC Worth Buying, Although Upside May Be Limited
CION Investment Corp remains undervalued, trading at a 34% discount to its NAV despite solid fundamentals and solid dividend coverage. The BDC's smaller size and shorter track record may be a contributor to its market mispricing compared to larger, more established peers. CION's portfolio performance has been resilient, with high credit quality and decreasing non-accruals year-over-year, despite higher for longer interest rates.
