Your videos are some of the most informative and useful in the community. Please keep up the great work. 👍🏼

Thank you for the analysis. The individual BDCs have been a shining star in my 2023 portfolio. PBDC is worth a look but probably will stick with the individuals.

This is fantastic. I retired in 2017 also. I am a stock investor mostly (love it) but have also been holding a significant amount of cash until I recently discover BDCs. I hadn't discovered PBDC yet so this is great. Thank you.

[Shootsmith]

This is awesome, thank you😊 Please keep this updated, and/or consider making a continued top 11-20 list with the funds you like that didn’t make top 10!

I get it with high. There is so much other info out there for ABR that people aren't normally covering. ABR is up about 11% since this video. I admit i was and am a bit nervous, but their track record of maintaining high dividends is almost stellar. I try myself to buy low and sell high but every once in a while i screw up. I hope you have better luck with this. I hope you continue to cover ABR.

I bought a small position in ABR last March, even though I had doubts on mREITs in this type of market. After seeing your post this morning I decided to sell, but I’m keeping it on my watchlist for later in 2024. I added the profits to PFFA, and I’m keeping the cash until the next Fed meeting, just in time for a small dip and the ex-date for ARCC 😁. Thank you!

[ddelmarsmith]

Thanks for introducing me to PBDC. Adding it to my watchlist.

Great top ten list. Hope to see a review of PAPI ETF soon, which is Morgan Stanley’s competitor to JEPI

[BuceGar]

Extremely valuable information. In a year or two I'll be converting my portfolio from investment to high yield income so I can retire early.

Great video. Keep making these updates

[Krautlander]

Keep my ABR, even half Dividend still OK. I bought some ABR und ABR preferred... Thank you for the Video!

[TerryCollinsPLifestyle]

I’m a Realtor for Investors so I’m definitely interested in REITS

[TerryCollinsPLifestyle]

Yes. I’m curious to see why you sold these 2

thanks, bud! the best money talking on youtube.

Appreciate your transparency and you walking us through your thought process. I think that is a good trade off for selling HIGH and getting PFFA at current price. I think HIGH is probably going to struggle once interest rates do go down. PFFA also has a higher dividend and likelihood of share price appreciation. You are better off with your TLTW I think for sure than something like HIGH. I've looked at PBDC but since I own a lot of bdcs seems duplicative and adds an expense ratio. I prefer a lot of the lower market cap BDCs for their higher yields (CION, RWAY, WHF, TRIN) and for active investors it is easier to buy them on a dip as they have more volatility. I shoot for a higher overall portfolio yield though and hoping to ramp up faster. If I had a ton of money I would prob just buy ARCC, ORCC. Curious if you have ever looked at BITO for an income instrument that utilizes bitcoin futures? Thanks for another great video!

Do you have a video that shows what class of investments go into a "taxable" account vs. "deferred" account?

This comment section is a garden of positivity. I love it!

I was looking to invest real deep into Arbor. I'll have to do more reading on it until the next Ex Date and see what I'll do. I was concern about the yield extending as high as it is and their dividend increases it kept having. I would've assume Arbor would cool down on the dividend increases if they were uncertain about the future and current problems they may.

Is there an inverse of Svol that generates income by selling calls and hedging with puts? Might be good when the vix is low like it has been
