Edit: Bonus stock AGNC, with its 9.06% yield, which I sold last week, nets $20,254.19 so it's overall solid.

Every one of those has drawdowns of>35%, no thanks.

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?

If you like yield traps it is.  Take a look at a 10 or 20 year chart. It's a picture of a shareholder paying their own dividend since forever.  If you have a $100 bill in your right pocket just put it in your other pocket and get a 100% yield today.
