Big Dividend Yielders At A Glance
We all learn over time. Some of us more than others. The agency mortgage REIT price-to-book ratios are getting really high, except for the weaker ones. That doesn't make the weak ones a great bargain. Main Street Capital stands out among BDCs for superior management and NAV growth, but that valuation just refuses to come down.

Fat Dividends Served Reality Check
Big dividends sound great, but how about big losses? Since Q2 2025 began, book values got smacked. Not talking about share prices. You can tell if the share price declined (hopefully). That would be a worthless article. One of these high-yield sectors has been doing much better than the others.

Blackstone Secured Lending: Diamond In The Rough
Blackstone Secured Lending is a strong buy due to its low non-accrual percentage and robust portfolio/NII growth. The BDC's net investment income grew 14% year-over-year, easily covering the $0.77 per-share dividend with a solid coverage ratio of 1.08X. Despite trading at a 17% premium to NAV, BXSL's near-zero non-accruals and top notch balance sheet quality justify the valuation.
