Eagle Point Credit: Avoid This 20%+ Yield Trap
Eagle Point Credit offers a high yield but suffers from massive share dilution, premium to NAV, and a poor long-term track record. ECC consistently pays out more in dividends than it earns, leading to ongoing NAV erosion and unsustainable payouts. The fund's focus on high-risk CLO tranches results in volatile returns and significant capital destruction over time.

What Recent CEF Distribution Cuts Mean, And Why I'm Not Concerned
Diversification across bonds, senior loans, and CLOs is key to managing interest rate and credit risks in fixed-income portfolios. Market timing is extremely difficult; a balanced mix of fixed and floating-rate assets provides resilience regardless of rate direction. Distribution cuts in floating-rate CEFs are expected as rates fall but should be weighed against opportunity cost and risk-adjusted returns.

All top ten ReFa/Ro Dogs offer annual dividends from $1,000 invested that exceed their share prices, meeting my 'ideal' stock criteria. Caution: Fourteen of thirty-eight ReFa/Ro stocks show negative free cash flow margins, so dividend safety varies—focus on the thirteen 'safer' picks.

Top Dividend Plays With Strong Analyst Ratings
When considering dividend stocks, most investors search for established and stable companies likely to trade away some of their growth opportunity in favor of a steady schedule of payouts to investors. This has long been a tried-and-true approach for investors looking to buy dividend-paying companies and hold them for the long term, and its appeal as a risk-mitigating strategy is clear in times of market turmoil.

ECC: Still Delivers High-Yield Income Despite Declining NAV
Eagle Point Credit Co LLC remains attractive for long-term, patient income investors seeking high yield, but recent price volatility and NAV decline warrant caution. The Series D preferred shares, ECC.PR.D, offer a safer, nearly 9% yield with lower risk, making them ideal for conservative income investors. ECC's recurring cash flows continue to cover distributions, and the fund's CLO resets provide additional flexibility and portfolio safety.
