A Brief Lesson On Huge Yielders
Charts? Dog photos? Me? An Opportunity to learn? So many reasons to like this article. Beware of extremely high return on equity figures. It looks great today, but you need to evaluate the source of the income.

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.

Gladstone's Common Vs. Bonds: Who Will Win?
Gladstone Investment is a strong BDC, but its common stock is risky due to high leverage, concentrated holdings, and a premium valuation. Baby bonds GAINI and GAINZ offer attractive yields (8.06%-8.16%) with lower risk and higher capital protection than the common stock. Leveraged baby bonds deliver a solid 10.74%-10.94% ROE, slightly below the common stock, but with much less volatility and risk.

These 5 Special Dividends Are More Than Meets The Eye

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.

Gladstone Investment: Reliance On Equity Investments Warrants Caution
I maintain a hold rating on GAIN, due to increased non-accruals and heavy reliance on equity investments, which are riskier in a high-rate environment. While GAIN offers a compelling 6.5% dividend yield and solid recent earnings, the premium to NAV and economic uncertainties make the stock expensive now. Non-accruals have risen to 13.1% of cost, signaling some portfolio deterioration and raising concerns about future earnings sustainability if rates stay high.
