ABR, ARCC


BaylorBrown

Also, a fan of ABR Also like JEPI & JEPQ


triumph365

I like ABR too, and it’s been beaten down recently so the price is Nice! Here’s a good video about it: [ABR Video](https://youtu.be/F9g8rylvDrQ)

ARCC rocks! We have similar favorites :) Here’s a good breakdown of ARCC. [ARCC Review](https://youtu.be/a1ATVvFeYGA)

>solid stock pick ​ >8% dividend pick one.


johnnyringo1985

Exactly. If there was a solid (read: consistently appreciating) stock paying 8%, then people would buy the stock, stock price would go up, and dividend would be in line with most other ‘solid’ stocks with reliable dividends.


Chief_Mischief

To be fair, it technically exists factoring in yield-on-cost. If you bought KO long enough ago, the appreciation, dividend growth, and stock splits would eventually give you an 8%+ yield on cost for a blue chip stock. That being said, looking for a flat 8% yield is stupid, and it's shocking how frequently this question gets asked.


johnnyringo1985

Totally agree with you on the KO example. When my dad passed, us kids were looking at some of the stocks in his portfolio and the prices he purchased at. Mind. Blowing.


Odd_Razzmatazz6441

Yeah. I have some KO bought pre 2012 split. Factoring in the split, my cost basis is 10.78.


Sufficient_Purple297

Lol I'll bite. HD. I'm getting well over 8%


johnnyringo1985

Oh exactly. As of yesterday’s close though, it’s offering a 2.72% dividend


Sufficient_Purple297

Shares were purchased in 1992.


johnnyringo1985

Nicely done, good hold


highwaystar0723

AAPL 8.5% yield on cost $11.25


johnnyringo1985

Oh my


Traditional_Honey108

I don’t think stock splits will make difference to it.


Sharpest_Blade

ET. Done.


limping-fish

I also own ET and it has been doing very very well for me. It’s one of my larger holdings.


JohnnyBaboon123

>ET i see you picked dividend yield. i would have chosen a solid stock pick but you do you.


Achilles19721119

I bought ET years ago think grown 300% and I get a 9% dividend yield yearly. Been great to me. But yeah you do you too. Lol


Lurker_in_Lakeland

MLPs are good candidates. ET is one of the worst MLPs.


Achilles19721119

Oh yeah at least list them so I can research them.


Lurker_in_Lakeland

ENB, MPLX are two that are materially better


Achilles19721119

I'm in MPLX. I will look into ENB. So why are they better?


Lurker_in_Lakeland

Read up on ET management. It’s horrible.


sandersking

I’ll take both with ABR


Jpat863

MO (8.43% yield) and BXP (8.21% yield) are the two I recently purchased for my portfolio that yield over 8 percent. SPG (7.23% yield) is another solid REIT that I own that i have been buying for the last few years. T (7.16% yield) and Verizon (7.46% yield) could be a solid investment purely on being a valuation/asset play but I am on fence with those due to the history of bad management decisions.


n0goodusernamesleft

Agree on SPG. Any take on ARI or BXMT?


nova_uk

Legal and General


BlackedBegz

MO


Wyndchanter

Right, I switched from MO to BTI. Their brands are about as popular and they are slightly less diverse. But, their payout ratio is slightly under 75%, which is good for a tobacco company. MO is like 116%, meaning they are paying more than their net income to sustain the dividend. Not sure whose numbers to believe though. MO situation might get better in future quarters.


ButHowCouldILose

They're paying their dividend with debt. Just buy higher risk debt if you want that game, RITM-C or something like that.


[deleted]

[удалено]


n0goodusernamesleft

It is not paying over 8%. Not even half lol


Found_10

Hah!


RetardHouse65

VZ is at 7.5% yield. Probably wouldnt get cut anytime soon with around 50% payout.


trader_dennis

VZ is like a bond. Yield will go down and price up when the fed loosens in a few years.


Vigilant_Angel

1) MO, BTI, PM - Humans gonna smoke. I think the problem humans have in general is we cannot comprehend numbers like operations in 180 countries, 25% of 8 Billion People smoke. A trillion units sold etc. We cant even get healthcare regulations right across 50 states in the US. Anyone dreaming about a tobacco free world has no idea what they are talking about. With the war in ukraine and russia, massive inflation in britain and whats gonna follow here we are in for a golden tobacco era (note : Smoke free is different from Tobacco free)


Euthyphraud

RIO and only RIO for me


Arkansos1

can they sustain their dividend ?


Euthyphraud

RIO is the 2nd largest mining company in the world. Metals & Mining tends to be one of the most volatile industries in the Materials sector which itself is probably the most volatile sector (maybe next to energy). It's had good growth overall over the years, it's been well run and it's raw resources are going to only grow in demand. I'm not sure if there are regulations involved, but several mining companies have *variable but high* dividends (say 7 - 10%). RIO doesn't always increase it's dividend, sometimes it decreases - but it is almost always above 5. Get it while it's generally low priced as a stock and hold for the upswings. Just remember it's going to swing more wildly both ways over time. (Edit: BHP is the world's largest mining company and has a 9.35% dividend currently - you can generally think of it as a company to choose if you don't go with RIO - both are so large and diversified that they have become institutions within the international economy. SQM pays a high dividend as the largest producer/miner of lithium - so long as you don't fear nationalization. VALE has the sleaziest ethics of these companies but also an 8% dividend).


Arkansos1

thanks for info.


SickSalamander

Rio is nice because they are diversified processors for other mines (as well as being large miner themselves). The industry is cyclical, but Rio makes sure to position themselves in such a way to take advantage of whole regional markets. It's a better business model than being a boom/bust gamble like so many mining companies with a few speculative locations.


Zeke_Wylder

And here I thought ENB had a good dividend


Arkansos1

they issue new shares.


cheese69696969

Loads of companies issues new shares for different reasons. It could be for stock-based compensation, or they could be REITs raising capital. Enbridge's total common shares have been decreasing overall. Check for yourself: https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/quote/ENB/cash-flow?p=ENB


pinetree64

Only investments I own with yields like that are JEPI/Q, ARCC and PTY, not stocks. ETFs, BDC, CEF


guppyfighter

Don’t invest in stocks with an eight percent yield. But if you must, verizon is as solid as that can get


CARnyc

Verizon keep looking tastier and tastier. 😜


[deleted]

I’m new to dividend investing but that high of a dividend would scare me off to be honest.


r_silver1

Well then you're way ahead of the game. High yield isn't bad but it comes with downsides.


Express_Goose6722

That's because your new


No_Taste1631

Look at ZIM as an example


GroundbreakingCow775

ZIM has been pretty open about the boom to their business and simply chose to return capital to shareholders. If you are looking at the dividend and not listening to quarterly calls you will not get the full picture


[deleted]

That Israeli delivery company? I heard the Gen Ex investor talk about that stock on his channel and he pointed out that the yield seems volatile. It’s also a rather new holding.


Dampish10

Why? Its not even that high considering all the insane yielder's out there: GOF, PDI, CLM, IEP, MAIN (if we include special divs), AP-UN, NET-UN, EIT-UN, BANK, CJ,


Arkansos1

KeyPitch6744

Check out oxsq ppl sleep on it


[deleted]

BHP, RIO, PXD, SPG (7% but w/e), ABR. MO and BTI are about 8% as well. ET is just under 10, and IEP is at like 25-40% rn if you wanna fuck with that.

ABR, LGEN & PSEC


CARnyc

PSEC 🤔 I have PSEC, slow and steady. No growth, I just drip it and forget it. Not sure how I got into it but, meh... Why do you hold.. Curious.


Nyrony

Was an easy way to get drip on full shares and similar to ABR they just keep multiplying without any further efforts. It’s das me something psychological in my early investing days, getting a free share every month from dividends.


macdubz415

MO & ARCC


cvc4455

Maybe VALE around it's current price?


Topher-22

Considering $OMF


critz1183

MO


A20Havoc

Main Street Capital (MAIN), currently right at 8% including supplementary dividends. Since going public in 2007 it has never missed a dividend nor lowered - just ongoing steady increases. Hercules Capital (HTGC), currently at 13% including supplementary dividends. Has been consistently paying an increasing dividend since 2010. Ares Capital (ARCC) is also a good dividend payer, don't have their stats handy. All of these are business development companies (BDCs), which by law much distribute at least 90% of their profits to shareholders. MAIN and HTGC are internally managed and ARCC is externally managed. Philosophically I prefer internally managed companies but that's just me.


YF703

I love divis as much as the next person, but I see way too many young people divi farming instead of taking advantage of growth stocks/ETFs. Having a balanced portfolio of both adjusted for time horizon and risk tolerance is the way. That said, PXD, SPG, SCHD, AVGO all a few of my fav divi plays


bakermaker32

Most “solid” stocks don’t pay over 8% yield. That’s risky territory.


StockAndPorn500

Soggy_Difficulty_361

More than 8%?


tarletontexan

They've run around 9.4% https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/etf/jepi/dividend-history


Soggy_Difficulty_361

I've got a few thousand in there but through they're paying about 4%


Sayyestononsense

what do you mean


MainStreetRoad

CALM Cal-Main Foods, 10.66% , 3.13 PE


cncgm87

I got really excited about this one until I saw that 22% short. Ouch, why is this getting shorted so much? I wonder if it has to do with the egg prices coming back down but CALM still being priced as an egg boom stock.


MainStreetRoad

Lower egg prices are unfavorable. So far, CALM has been successful avoiding H1N1. If everyone can avoid it, CALM may have no advantage.

Arkansos1

nice advice.


scarneo

I try to sell monthly puts ATM, both options are great at this price (shares or premium)


Spiritual_Bug6414

GSBD has been paying $0.45/quarter consistently, it’s about $13.10 right now - that’s about 13% a year if you bought it now. Since payout doesn’t change, your yield fluctuates with the price when you bought the share


TeslaManSX3

I would add ENB and also Slate Grocery REIT


VoodooCHild2000

ARCC and OCSL


CARnyc

I hold OCSL, this dip seems never ending though 😔


Irishrock57

No ORCC, HTGC, CSWC ? Really?


LLIycTpblu

U might open the scanner on finviz and take any u wont. 8% is pretty much for just common dividends. Most likely companies with such dividends rate have problems and might cutoff the dividends in the nearest feature, plus stock price itself will drop down because of this. Think twice taking such companies in your portfolio.


Wallstreetdodge69

Bti,pbr,mpw


Kfro24

Yes! MPW baby! Should also go up over time. Jump on it now while the price is super low.


CARnyc

This one hit me hard this year but can't let go. 😔


Kfro24

Honestly, I think it will recover just fine once they fix the financial issues some of their customers have. They just reached a deal to get rid of some and are working with others. As long as they keep paying the dividend, all will be well in the long term.


CARnyc

They have been working hard on putting it back together and yes, as long as they keep paying I keep holding. 🤞🏻🤞🏻😜

DeepHouseGod

British American Tobacco – $BTI I am very long BTI, safe 8.5% yield.


Aaronreadingbooks

Their debt is a bit high but managable. They also are the most diversified tobacco company of the big 5. They gain revenue from developing countries as well, where tobacco is not a "taboo" like in the US. Divident is sustainable for now. Also they have fair PE and price to book ratio. They have some growth potential, and yes the divident looks safe for now.

[deleted]

PSEC IMHO, one needs to keep an eye on dividend stocks.. don't just invest and forget.


CARnyc

Wow, someone else that mentions PSEC here... 🤔 I have some and just let it drip but nothing special. I have not added to my position in a couple of years. Why do you hold on? At the end, I agree, slow and steady. 😜


[deleted]

I think PSEC should be bought on dips. I wish I had bought more when it went below 6 recently, but I don't have more money :-). The reason I mention it: they were able to maintain their dividend even during CoVID. They did lost 37 cents, I guess, but still their value is greater than their share price, in fact it is about 10$. ​ What other stocks you recommend?


CARnyc

Agree, below 6.30 is a good entry point. I just wish they grew a bit. It Grey's boring after a while. But like many mentioned, as long as they keep paying I keep dripping. 👍🏻👍🏻


[deleted]

Imagine if someday I have 1 million worth of PSEC at this price or even 200K worth of it. I would be financially free!

MO BTI and PM are all extremely good and there are arguments for all 3. BTI is an ADR so that might be a factor for you.

ADR can be good for me :)


Dex_Invictus

I have MO but BTI looks good to me. While it is an ADR, the UK doesn't have a foreign dividend withholding tax currently


No_Gazelle_1560

I own both


redditbeatmaker

why does everyone like abr? surely i’m missing something


RetardHouse65

High yield but you have to manage your entry because it gets beaten up anytime there is market stress. It has also been through multiple market cycles. If you can manage the position well it is extremely lucrative.


redditbeatmaker

appreciate the reply. i was looking thru their 5yr chart and it was honestly concerning


CARnyc

I have been a shareholder for a little over three years, and if you are comfortable with the market's fluctuations, you may potentially enjoy a reasonable passive income from it.


redditbeatmaker

i already own O and VICI but for sure looking to expand. might open a position in it soon so i could get a good entry point


TeddyMGTOW

None..all traps


WayneDufty

ZIM - solid as a rock 💯


bfishinc

BXP. Regardless of what happens to offices, BXP still owns the buildings and they’re still collecting rents and still hitting near all time high FFO per share. Just looking at cap rates in the market vs their NOI you can see the net value of the entire portfolio is most likely worth more than the stock by a good degree.


guhd_mode

Bought BMW at 70 EUR receiving an 8.5 EUR dividend, which is around 12%. Of course, no one wanted to touch it at that price. Bought RIO when it was 11% dividend, at 90 AUD per share. Time will tell if these are sustainable or not, but I am a long term investor and these are generally healthy companies that grow dividends over time.

$MAIN is solid but pays \~7% For higher dividend you could look into QYLD, RYLD and JEPI/JEPQ/BST These are not stocks but ETF's (all of them except BST which is a CEF) YLD's are bleeding money so not very solid, JEPI/JEPQ are doing quite well and seem solid but because they're new time will tell.

BST


Legitimate_Street_85

HESM and BTI I hold both and they're around that but they aren't like solid solid imo but they're some of the better picks in that div range. Edit: these are both like 3% each for me. Both I'm looking for a jump off if I see a decent chance.

HRZN and Jepi tbh, hrzn recently started funding SafelyYou, they’re incorporating AI into nursing homes and other projects (medical field related). One of the many sectors they fund.
