Dividend Investing: Why This Dip Is A Gift

Dividend stocks are selling off as interest rates surge. The inflation spike may prove temporary despite the ongoing war. Falling rates could eventually trigger a major recovery in dividend stocks.

Building A 7%-Yielding Dividend Growth Portfolio With SCHD As Its Core Holding

SCHD is one of the best dividend growth ETFs available, but its modest 3% yield and several important diversification gaps make it insufficient for many income-focused retirees. I explain how investors can potentially more than double SCHD's yield while maintaining meaningful dividend growth, broad diversification, and exposure to several beaten-down high-yield sectors. I share a near-7%-yielding retirement portfolio blueprint, including specific holdings, portfolio allocations, and the key risks investors should understand before putting their retirement savings to work.

Most of my income comes from a "set and forget" layer of the portfolio that gets surprisingly little of my time.

BDCs trade at a steep discount, but the risks the bears talk about most may not be the ones that matter.

Some of the most popular BDCs may be more exposed than their results suggest, and the moment of truth is getting closer.

2 BDCs For Bargain Hunters

Business development companies are an overlooked corner of private credit and a chance for individual investors. Market fear has pushed some high-yield BDCs well below their net asset value, despite solid fundamentals. I highlight two discounted BDCs with strong balance sheets, healthy loan books, and well-covered dividends.

5 BDCs Priced For Loan Losses Worse Than 2008, Heading Into Q3

Five major BDCs—Blue Owl Technology Finance Corp., FS KKR Capital Corp, Morgan Stanley Direct Lending Fund, Blue Owl Capital Corporation, and Oaktree Specialty Lending Corporation—trade at steep discounts to NAV, implying extreme loan losses not reflected in credit performance. Current market prices require annualized loan losses far exceeding historical peaks, despite portfolios of senior secured, diversified loans and low non-accruals. Buybacks at deep discounts signal management confidence in loan valuations, with OTF and FSK notably active in repurchasing shares.
