I don’t think people buy GOOG for the dividends. It has an 0.25% yield. People buy ARCC, PFFA, PFE, O, MAIN or SCHD for dividends. People buy GOOG for share price appreciation. Now, there have certainly been people who bought GOOG early on who appreciate the dividend, but I don’t think people who buy it today at market value really care too much about 0.25%.
ARCC and STWD: Very specifically profit from higher interest rates because of they can charge clients more. Also ARCC and STWD: Down more than the rest of the market on news of higher interest rates.
ARCC and STWD make more money on higher interest rates, since the majority of their loans to clients are floating. So I buy their stock prior to the Fed meeting. The Fed ends up hiking interest rates, so they'll be making more revenue going forward and having higher income and margin. They end up tanking anyway along with the rest of the market. Nice.
So I bought ARCC and STWD because they would actually profit from higher rates, due to a good chunk of their loans to clients being floating rate, which would increase their revenue. And yet they both dumped like crazy when rates went up. This fucking market man lol
If you expect interest rates to rise, which is what the data from FedWatch and Polymarket suggest, there are several options: * Banks: $JPM; $BAC; WFC; $USB. * Brokerage firms: for example, $SCHW. * Insurance companies: $ALL; $PGR. * BDCs with predominantly floating-rate portfolios: $ARCC; $MAIN.
also agreed with the dark money. I was in ARCC and those funds weren't really transparent about who/what they were investing in. Small potatoes though compared to BNPL and I think THAT's where this section will start the fall.
Where is the $$$ going? Into BDCs today. ARCC, MAIN, CSWC, MSDL, BXSL, HTGC, GLAD, TSLX ==>> All up today. (Yes-I own them all)
This is my plan , at a minimum 20% of gains reinvested in VOO, SCHD, ARCC, CUBE , and I shares ETFs
Yeah I definitely got in on that juicy $192 NVDA. Was like VOO , I love you but you gotta go hang out with SCHD, CUBE, and ARCC for a minute

ARCC , Rigetti, Nokia
Buy ARCC. I sold on friday and don’t want it to go up
Why do you guys keep buying these ARCC calls, but not acting on the rare greenery?
I'm in my early 30's. I've been trying to buy the dip on BDC's. I was formally all in on muni bonds since 2022 and was waiting for BDC's like ARCC to have a discount instead of chasing it while it's high. It never came for 4 years as ARCC rose from $19 to $23. Before that I didn't touch stocks since it's too speculative. But the apollo situation, and what you say, I have to agree. So I should avoid BDC's despite the once in a lifetime temptation to "buy the dip". All those prior earnings were related to loan rate environments.
For MO and ARCC. Not so much for SPY
nice find on ARCC, those dividends definitely make it appealing for short puts. 0.35 for 39 DTE with a 0.22 delta is a pretty decent credit for a 18 strike. I typically look for similar setups with high IV and a good theta per day. I usually use the options heatmap on ThetaPal to visualize the best strikes with fat premiums and where the theta decay is juiciest. do you usually target a specific RoC or P50 when you're screening for these?
stocks goodness don't have anything to do with this you'll need something cheap, with liquid options, and paying dividends - to make the returns less mediocre, you know KSS, VOD, MPT, CAG, ARCC, HUN my fav sell some puts, leave them alone
Buy puts on ARCC, please.
ARCC. Don’t buy it though. Don’t even look at it. It will cause you to pay taxes.
ARCC (I’m a baggie). Full port calls. Why? It’s red. Catalyst? Ex-Dividend Date coming up. I’ll sell you the calls. If you buy puts, you’ll stub your toe 12 times a day, every day, until they expire.
Anthropic is definitely a better product Most people at this point hate them because they are AI, not because there AI is not amazing and making tons of money I will probably buy anthropic but I am also buying BDCs since as software goes out of business private lending is going to go down and it’s a great time to buy ARCC and BXSL under nav
ARCC, please. It’s terrible lately. If you want something more promising that hasn’t run yet, check out AIRO, MH, BLSH, or VIA.
ARCC 9% yield, PFLT 10%. Why so high? because they are in business required by law to return 90% of ther learning every year to investors. and these businesses have been about for about 60 years.
ARCC, please. I feel like there are kettlebells in these bags
Going from the average interest rate in OP, they are about as bad as ARCC’s average interest rate. Which is high enough to have a net negative return for a company that lends money as a business model. It’s higher than both my margin and mortgage interest. So, lenders have less faith in them than they do in me, as an individual.
At the very least, how about just buying cheap dividend-paying stocks like ARCC or TRIN for a while, building up cash? That way, you’re still accumulating money. When the inevitable correction (not crash) occurs, you’ll feel more comfortable getting in.
Private credit is down 20%, buy ARCC and BXSL
There is huge short interest on ARCC and BXSL right now Loading up
Pump my $ARCC bags, too. I’m even on them and want my covered calls to get assigned.
Thank you. Using the data from your last two replies to me, compare $ARCC to the mean or median data from the aggregate of all other US BDCs, please.
Thanks. Also for $ARCC, tell me about free cash flow please, and what are the forward and trailing price/earnings ratios and PEG ratio?
VM summarize most recent 10-K and 10-Q filings for $ARCC
I disagree Look at the leadership of Palantr The jews I work with hate the left and view AI is a tool to control media and speech Buy VGT and ARCC
Weed and tobacco Left should not have pissed off the Jews after 10/7, big tech used to at least pretend they where helping in 2022 I work in finance, the way my Jewish co workers talk about those college protests would blow your mind, and they all support ai because the people who hate Israel hate AI Call me crazy but I am buying my ARCC and I am way up
I think this is part of the sane thesis you can get from the sell off in software and private credit Despite what Reddit wants- AI is very profitable and it is growing as an industry, people in tech know this and are buying as much position as they can Buy ARCC and BXSL right now while they are still trading under nav AI is here forever, I personally blame the anti Israel left for this , we shall see how much of the world we will lose now because a group of online idiots decided to humiliate Jews on college campuses in 2024
same question for ARCC and TCPC. why did BDC funds jump last couple days?
My long term allocations will be: (I am 70% towards that goal and slowly moving there) 20% bonds 20% S&P 500 15% SCHD 33% international (VYMI, SCHY, IDVO and VXUS). This is right now the most under weighted and adding some here every week. 6% O 3% MAIN 3% ARCC I may make some tweaks as we go along but I am pretty happy with this so far. The dividend this portfolio produces is slightly over my annual spend so everything is good.
It’s ok, he’s only got $100. So, 1 $QCOM call, or 5 $ARCC calls. Pretty please.
Would much rather go with ARES, the one owning ARCC. It has a yield around 4-5% right now and a dividend growth rate of +20% each year.
Exactly - I’d trust BDCs (specifically ARCC with its proven record) over REITs or other divs including covered call etfs and “high income” which are relatively newer products and have higher volatility
Check out the episode 48 of the Real Eisman Playbook podcast. He sits down with an forensic accountant to discuss how private equity firms are lending themselves the money to cover their dividends through shell companies but not putting up real assets, since they control the shell companies. Just another facet of theis slow train wreck. I have a significant amount of BAM and ARCC that I am looking to exit. Just a few more juicy divs to collect first maybe maybe maybe.
Ah.... the "2008 Playbook" .... the financial version of Godwin's Law. If it exists, someone on Reddit will eventually compare it to the Great Financial Crisis. Look, the banks aren't building a shorting machine cos they finally realized the economy is a house of cards... they're building it cos they’ve realized they can charge us a fee to bet on which card falls first... It's just Wall Street finally installing the plumbing for a $1.7 trillion asset class. I’m holding ARCC and MAIN, if they shit the bed purely out of sympathy for gated private credit folks who didn't read the brochure , then I'm buying more. In the meantime, compliments on your writing, I enjoyed it.
>please explain what this is It is basically a loan but not in the public market. Which mean you can trade this loan. A private credit fund (Morgan stanley, JP Morgan, Blackrock, Blackstone , Blue Owl, Apollo and etc) will rise moeny to start a fund with the objectives of making loans to companies (public or private). These loans cannot be traded on the public market like other loans that have ratings on them. If you have a bloomberg terminal you can look up loans that public companies have and their prices along with their yields. Private credit funds typically return 10% or more depending on the fund. >why it's significant Most companies that need these loans are companies with strong and preditable cash flows such as software companies. With the recent SAASpocalyse, these companies are no longer worth the money they are worth. Investors also believe their ability to repay said loans are impacted which means the face value of the debt in the private credit fund need to be written down (since they riskier and investors might not get full face value). Since these are not traded on the public market, they cannot be written down because no one knows what the fair value is. Some investors are spooked and want out. Typically these funds offer 5% redemption each quarter but now as the investor confidence is shaken, more than 5% of the ppl want out but funds are not liquid so they cant just sell the debt. So they block redemption, this is viewed very negatively. Besides software companies, a lot of data center buildout are also funded by private credit. So this impact them. >and how retail can profit off it? Many of these private credit funds are traded in the public market with a illiquidity discount attached to them. So if you believe these loans will pay back full face value, it is a great time to buy them because yields are very high since these funds are discounted. They currently yield around 13% Ticker name : $OBDC (Blue Owl), $ARCC (Ares)**,** $FSK (KKR), $TCPC (Blackrock)
The question: has OWL taken enough of a beating and this is the bottom? Or is it a slow bleed to zero? The other question is: are the best names in this space, ARCC and MAIN, down around 25% from ATH of a few months ago, as screwed as OWL and are just starting to suffer, or is this a great buying opportunity? I’m going to wait and see.
The top BDCs (MAIN, ARCC) are down 25% from their peaks a few months ago. They went up today, but lagged the general market. Both pay big dividends…ARCC up to 11%. MAIN “only” 6%. Getting tempting but they might just be getting started. The first to go was OWL, now down over 50% with no end in sight.
So for my Income portfolio, I did something really risky that I don't recommend. and that was have a >50% allocation to Yeildmax funds which I'm down overall about 15% in the entire portfolio. If I had to do it all over I would do definitely include QQQI, SPYI, ADX, ARCC, HTGC etc. etc. I would try and stay away from anything greater than 15% yield. Don't expect much price appreciation as those are just spitting out income to cover my baseline expenses. You can look up Armchair Income and Income Architect on Youtube to get some ideas. Those two channeIs and reading the book Income Factory are where most of my ideas come from in regards to income investing. I learned the hard way (as I guess most of us do on this investment journey) that managing your risk vs. return is supremely important.
I'm buying quality BDCs at discount to book value (ARCC, BXSL) in tax-advantaged accounts
i cannot answer that fully right now. I am doing a mental reset and need to reevaluate the market as a whole and calculate a strategy to get back in. my mind is leaning towards dividend stocks. something like: JEPI, JEPQ, QYLD, PFFD, BIZD, ARCC, TRIN, PFLT, AGNC part of this is some aggressive high yielding with more risk attached.
Decide how long your time line is with-a percentage of your cash. If you are comfortable with 10 plus years with a percentage of it ,buy in over time in tranches.For relative safety invest in vanguard index funds as their rates are some of the lowest in-the industry. I would agree VOO is very heavily weighted with AI stocks ,therefore would buy only some and only on a dip(15% or more off from the high ) ,diversify with VT,VTI and a vanguard value stock index . Also buy in on dips of 15% or more , off the high . It’s not guaranteed it will drop this much , but all the indexes are overbought and correction time is due and with geopolitical factors being what they are , likely to drive indexes down further . Diversify. Synchrony Bank has a 4.1% cd for 14 mos . Just tied up a significant chunk that I will not worry about and can sleep at night . Will buy into the market on broader dips, 15% down from highs, and more if 20%. Buying certain stocks that are value and have fallen in the broader drop but still have good value. Looking at Canadian stocks in us index. Recently have bought BN,MAIN,NNN,VICI ,ARCC ,VZ (at 39) ,BEP (at 19). With the exception of BN have bought in retirement accounts. Others, let me know your thoughts on these. Open to discussions . I have a long watch list and waiting for fundamentals to line up to buy.
ARCC. Anyone who's into dividends could do very well buying it at this price. Unreal. Between war and getting incorrectly (imo) lumped in with the whole private equity Ai thing, its a steal. The management is stellar. Dumps are the things to chase alright.
Im all in on ARCC be better raise that shit
Watch for ARCC, MAIN & OBDC. They might start the cracks that accelerate liquidity issues.
They look like a subprime firm? Not the same as something like ARCC
So many ill informed people surrounding private credit and evergreen funds. Default rates in middle market private credit, historically have been lower than BSL or HY. The asset class benefits from smaller club (lenders) that can work strategically with the portfolio company/sponsor should the business underperform. Gates and redemption limits are explicitly detailed in offering docs and investors sign up knowing very well they are buying into funds primarily invested in illiquid assets. I’m long BX, OWL, and ARCC. Those mgmt fees aren’t going away and the underlying collateral quality seems to still be sound. AI and software disruption is real - but definitely a bit overblown as it relates to many of the businesses these PC managers lended to.
Verizon, Nvidia, Google, Amazon, SCHD, MO, ARCC and MAIN
TSLX is a BDC for high income dividend plays that pay over 10% divvies. All of the BDCs like OBDC, ARCC and MAIN are down due to the current low rate environment and to certain extent, too much exposure to software and tech lending. Imho, it’s all overblown and not all BDCs are not created equal but they sold off the same in this panicky market.
Now is a really good time to buy BDC’s ARCC is trading 8% discount to nav, I am loading up
AI is actually affecting their software side of business Now is a good time to buy BDC’s- ARCC and BXLS are down 20% with ARCC trading under nav- just free money from the software slaughter
It really comes down to what you’re optimizing for: yield, max drawdown, or total alpha, etc. I’ve been tracking these on my [**Dividend Radar**](https://dividend-radar.azurewebsites.net/), and while **IGLD** and **IAUI** were consistent Top 5 staples for months, last week’s volatility pushed their valuations into 'Expensive' territory, so they've actually dropped off my leaderboard for now (i suspect not for long). I usually wait for that 'Cheap' signal to trigger before I pull the trigger on a new position. If you’re debating a specific list for 2026, I built a comparison mode that lets you stack them up side-by-side.

In general as the dividend of a fund increase the growth decreases. Dividend fund in general continue to pay even whine the market price drops. So by switching your investments a bit more into dividend you are erectly switching for fixed income instead of growth and reducing your risk. Also the S&P500 index has a long term average growth rate of about 10%. There are funds and stocks that do have dividends close to 10%. So in your roth you could add commp funds that invest in companes that are not a big part of the S&P500. For example ARCC is a BDC there are no BDCs in the S&P500. ARCC has a yield of 9% which is common for BDC and since the companes founding the stock has performed a bit better than the index. When the growth index has a down year ARCC keeps paying its dividend and pulls a bit ahead. The are a number of f=good BDC so I invested in PBDC and the other is BIZD. In my roth Ihave funds like QQQI 13% yield,EIC 11%, ARDC9%, PBDC 9%, EMO 9% CLOZ 8%. So if the index is down I can use the dividend to invest in VOO or any other growth index you have. And in years when growth does very well you could sell some of the growth and lock that money into high dividends funds with have a comparable return and reduce your risk of over concentatration in the magnificent 7. For 401Ks you are limited on your fund choices so for dividend you may be limited to bond funds so you may be forced to use lower dividend yields. One other advantage having dividned funds in Roth or retirment fund is that if you become unemployed you will still have money flowing into the fund. With now I cannot depoist into my roth because my income is too high but the dividend funds are depositing 5K a month of income into my roth.
I suggest checking out the link above which lists many different portfolio strategies, and then use testfol.io with 2000 - 2010 year range to find the allocation that works for you. There are many different ways to build, and bonds may not have to be a large part as long you use other assets to balance the stock portion out. E.g. this portfolio has no long term bonds, only intermediate, but still has very good risk-adjusted returns. https://portfoliocharts.com/2018/10/01/try-a-modern-spin-on-a-classic-idea-with-the-pinwheel-portfolio/ As for SCHD, I know some people swear by it, but personally I am not a big fan. If you are curious, falling interest rates have pushed a lot of BDCs down, like MAIN and ARCC, even though they have very respectable total returns. Might be worth checking out.
Oh, if we are limiting discussion to SCHD, brute force selling VOO shares will win every time, there's no question here. SCHD is not a good investment imo. I went single company as an example of quality dividend stock. In income community both MAIN and ARCC are as well established and known as VOO or VXUS in index investing. My point was that it is not hard to create an income portfolio using BDCs, CEFs, and/or MLPs that will provide sufficient income. If you are interested, I can replace the ticker with an income CEF that will produce similar results.
Sure, took your run and changed it to 4% yearly withdrawal. Not sure why you used VYM, this is a very low yield fund, that I personally wouldn't hold in retirement. I would hold something that produces income like ARCC or MAIN. Here's the result of pure Total market vs 60 ARCC/40% bonds. https://testfol.io/?s=jOef5m7BOLF As you can see it easily beats the market and you never have to sell a single share except for rebalancing.
ARCC, AOD, AGD, ADX, CII, and if you want some aggressive growth, high yield, and a bit extra risk, you can splash some BWLP, GSL, and FLNG (not sure what their 2026 dividends will look like, but 2025 was good).
ARCC is an REIT that has paid 9%+ the past 10years.
Honest truth: >5% yield + growth + doesn't devalue is the trifecta everyone wants but rarely exists, usually you pick 2 of 3, that said, here are realistic options for $1000: Covered call ETFs (my pick for your criteria): \- JEPI - \~7-8% yield, holds large cap stocks, sells covered calls for income, some growth potential but capped upside, very popular with retirees. \- JEPQ - same strategy but tech-focused, higher yield (\~9-10%), more volatile. these give you income + some growth exposure without picking individual stocks. Dividend growth (lower yield but better growth): \- SCHD - only \~3.5% yield BUT the dividend grows 10%+ annually. In 5-7 years you're effectively getting 5%+ on your original investment, better total return over time. Higher yield options (more risk): \- ARCC or MAIN (BDCs) - 8-10% yields, invest in middle-market companies, more volatile. \- ENB (Enbridge) - \~6.5% yield, pipeline company, slow grower but stable dividend. What I'd actually do with $1000: Keep it simple, one holding. \- if you need income NOW: JEPI \- if you can wait for income to grow: SCHD Don't split $1000 into 5 positions - you'll pay more in friction and complexity than it's worth. One warning: anything yielding >7-8% usually has a catch - either growth is flat, risk is higher, or the dividend isn't sustainable. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Business development companies (BDCs) loan money to companes. The law that governs them requires them to pay out 90% of their earnings as dividends. If they don't they get a tax penalty. So the yields for BDC is in the range of 8% to 12%. ARCC and MAIN are two very good ones. Ther are 2 ETFs that invest only in BDCs , PBDC 9% yield actively managed expense ratio 0.75%. BIZD 11% passively managed BDC index fund expense ratio of 0.4%. Bot are good. But note SEC has a rule that apples to BDC that requires them to post an expense ratio of 13%. This 13% expense is snot real. It is the estimated expenses of the BDC stock these funds hold. But the EFTs never pay BDC expenses. The expenses I listed are the real expenses fro these funds. these ETF are great in any portfolio.
5.5% in my regular, 24% in my Roth. Roth is mainly just trading ARCC for the dividend, with a few options. For my regular, I was up 14% or so but lost it when I held the bag on BYND. Made some money back with BTC and GOOGL. Next year I'll probably focus on building a long term portfolio in my regular account, and continue the ARCC shenanigans in the Roth. With a combination of dividend (9%), the profit from buying after ex-date/selling at the peak, AND buying some contracts I shouldddd be able to replicate that 25% return next year.
Just buy a basket of quality high yield stocks (BTI, VW, VZ) some BDCs like MAIN or ARCC and a couple REITs. You should be able to get a median yield of 6 or 7% without taking on too much risk.
I have too much money in ARCC already but good call. JEPQ looks interesting. Basically Thetagang started and index fund to generate cash?
In my 401k I’m slowly rolling profits from chip and bank stocks into dividend stocks like MO, PFE, ARCC, etc. In my IRA I can trade options so I just always keep at least 50% in cash. Thats my risk management strategy.
I never cared for pancakes or waffles. I’m not a lumberjack. Have you done the returns on ARCC ( since you are cherry picking) with dividends reinvested? You are absolutely correct my picks aren’t mainstream, per se. Which is exactly where I want to be positioned. I want the deep value cuts and I want to get there early because everyone is wrong. Imho. OP asked for long term portfolios. This is mine. This portfolio is designed to weather the majority of market conditions and designed to generate income. Woof.
I don’t think you know what ‘no disrespect’ means. The stocks you listed, I imagine 90% of casual investors have never heard of. I just picked one at random, ARCC. It’s done 40% in 20 years. Why would you suggest that vs any of the unimaginative stocks that have done 40% his year?
If anyone wants a boring income play with good odds of share appreciation look into ARCC. 9% divvy.
Sold ARCC and BIZD, will take about 20 percent losses on the actual sale although the dividends were nice. I'll look at ARCC again in a year or two once the interest rate situation stabilizes.
I have a portion of capital at work in an income generation account. I will occasionally write calls or open CSPs on these HIMU - 30% allocation (Muni fund - no options chain) SNSXX - 30% allocation (I use this money market fund as collateral for CSPs) F - 10% allocation ARCC - 10% allocation SVOL 5% allocation (I actively hedge this position to protect against NAV erosion) SCHD 10% allocation - modest capital appreciation IBIT 5% yes I know. :) Vol.premium usually attractive.
If you invested the money in the S&P500 index 1.3% dividend yield 10 million will gernate $130,000 (130K a year). But dividend investors are typically not interested in yields of 1.3%. At a yield fo 5% very doable with bonds and dividend stock, and various debt obligations would generate 500K of income a year. at a yield of 10% 10 million would generate 1 million a year. the problem is that most people don't have 10 million to invest. most have less than 2 million. So you need to use higher yields to get enough income. Many people that just invest in government bonds and growth assume 10% yields are not sustainable. but in reality there are stocks and ETFs that do generate about 10% yield reliably year after year. for example business development companes pay high yield of about 8% to 12% ARCC is one such company that has been yielding about 9% for about 20 years. Coca cola company has been paying dividend for about 100 years for most of my life it has been around 3% yield. So yes it is possible to live off of dividends without working. About 3 years ago I retired at 55. but my retirment accounts won't be accessible until age 60. I invested money for dividend income in taxable brokerage account. I get 5K a month from my investments4K covers all of my living expenses and 1K is always reinvested to slowly grow my income. This helps prevent inflation from eroding my income. I am currently setting up my roth for more dividend income I want 100K a year buy age 60 and I am on track to doing it. >To add to this it is supposed to strictly be not working at all, so that would exclude day trading, real estate investing / flipping, buying a business etc. I have not done anything like that. gust moving money from my 401K to a Roth 4 times a year and once a month checking may account and using bill pay on the brokerage site to pay regular bills. I often go 2 weeks without looking at my account. And I only log in for about a hour or so at a time. Two good resources for dividend investing are the book The income factory and armchair income on youtube. Both invests for dividend with yields between 5 and 10%. Armchair income focuses on reviewing funds he adds to his portfolio. The book focuses more on building and maintaining a dividend protfolio.
401K Report: After this next pump to ATH’s I’m starting to take profits on chips and roll them into divy stocks. $MO $PFE $ARCC
Thanks! It's not sold yet but it's at the point where I'm seriously thinking "what next" Definitely don't want to sell a company that keeps me and the fam alive and dump it into equities that subsequently crater... good lord I might have to go to work or something equally horrifying I was riding ARCC for quite a while and was like man, this is awesome! Now I'm a bit skittish
I’m only a couple of years from retirement, so building my income stream. I’m loading up on midstream, with the weakness driven by lower oil prices. EPD/ET are my favorites, and yielding between 7-8% BDC Armageddon - hard to predict the bottom, but best of breed in this sector is in sale with the riskier companies. I recently bought a decent position in KBDC. I like ARCC at current price, although hoping it goes lower and keeping some spare change REITS. Decent value, I’ve been adding ARE in the $70’s. I was adding Brookfield BIP/BEP, but now waiting for them to drop 5% or so. Growth is unaffordable. I have nibbled on AMZN. Have been opportunistically selling weekly covered calls on my position. Hoping NVDA disappoints on earning. That will open up a lot of opportunity, but a gamble. It could easily beat and raise. I certainly would not short GLTA
I have taken advice but do my research. When I first started out I didn't know what a BDC was and a reditor told me about ARCC. That led me to find a great YouTube channel and now I own two BDCs.
Im looking at CNI, Canadian National Railway. It is down significantly right now and is struggling due to tariffs hurting the Canadian economy but will probably go up once tariffs end, which will happen eventually. I want to take some of the money I've made from tech over the last few years and put it in non-tech investments. I think ARCC, ALB and COKE are good deals right now but I already own enough.
Please just buy ARCC. Or at least start a trend!
ARCC they do loans for developers who build housing projects. They pay around 9.5% right now.
Trying to figure out what is going on with ARCC. That's my quarterly money maker and it's going down. I figured if interest rates went down more people would borrow. Nope.....
Anyone else buying BDCs on this dip? $GLAD $ARCC
CAT, EOG, ARCC, CL and a little ACI
You can tell the market's peaked when Cathie Wood's ARCC ETF is up 46% this year. Serious bubble behaviour.
CTRE- senior care real estate has been making me a fortune. I am also expecting another dividend increase soon. ARCC- The biggest, best BDC in the business. Turn on the Drip and enjoy the ride. I also have a unicorn pick. These come around every once in a while and usually you can count the number of unicorns on one hand. The last unicorn pick turned out to be a ten-bagger Rolls Royce (RYCEY.).We got in at the $1-$2 range. Unicorns create life changing money. As of right now I found 1 unicorn out of 23,281 stocks. I won’t bury the lead. APA is an oil and gas play that has cash flow coming in the doors. Just as important nobody is talking about which is exactly where I like to be. I do suggest using a 25% trailing stop to protect your principal.
Dollar plummeting so good luck with that. I'd rather park it in high dividend earning multi nationals or ARCC
