Edit: Bonus stock AGNC, with its 9.06% yield, which I sold last week, nets $20,254.19 so it's overall solid.
Right, these high yielders suit my needs at present. The really safe capital preservation funds for when I'm retired I haven't researched yet, but I doubt they fall into the "high yield" bucket. I interpret high yield as 7%+, others may think differently about it. Other than endorse MO, I haven't seen any other recommendations, although in other threads I see a lot of forum members like BTI.
Is AGNC at a good price point now?
But anyway, I'm not personally going back to that one. I'm much happier with HTGC, MO, HRZN, RA, ARCC, and the two pimco funds. OXLC is currently on a great run (+62% in the past year), but at the first sign of a price drop I will be out.
