Sold CALM yesterday. 61-99

Proceeds to go into HTGC 10.1% yield

Nice to see another HTGC fan.

Here are the high yielders I currently invest in:

ABR: 12.1%
ARCC: 8.68%
BXSL: 9.66%
FSK: 11.96% + frequent bonus
HTGC: 8.42% + frequent bonus
IIPR: 7.11%
MAIN: 5.31% + frequent bonus
OMF: 7.27% qualified div
OXLC: 20.38%
RA: 10.43%
RQI: 7.08%
VZ: 6.23%

With the notable exception of OXLC, these guys all hold their value pretty well over the long term.  OXLC has been stable the last couple of years, but of course that could change.  Still, they raised the dividend in 2024, and they are doing well.  Definitely the guilty pleasure of the lot lol.

When the port is ready for retirement, OMF will likely be the largest holding of these.  Not only is it qualified, but it also gets decent growth (32.71% over the past 5 years, including 31.88% over the past year).  It also has been giving regular dividend increases.  When I first joined this website, everyone said start with XOM or MO, but I think now OMF is the core DGI holding.

Dropped from the list recently were ECC and HRZN, because they couldn't hold their price.
