This time around, we're seeing earnings vol increase during a strong AI-driven bull market. Tech stocks are seeing record earnings day volatility as investors and traders presumably make snap judgements about AI's future impact on the bottom line.

These shares offer big yields but far more stability than investors expect. Recent market downturns enabled attractive entry points for big yields with capital gains. It's best to prepare for these opportunities in advance. Because we were already evaluating these shares regularly, we were able to jump on opportunities during the big dip.

Ready Capital NYSE: RC said its first-quarter 2026 results reflected continued pressure from a balance sheet repositioning plan aimed at raising liquidity, reducing leverage and addressing underperforming commercial real estate assets.
