I see passing references to the high yield, low growth segment of the market yet have never really looked into it very far. My first gut reaction (and second and third), is that moving that far into the yield curve when so many "mainstream" stocks are only yielding 1-4% is a risky proposition. Yet some of you seem to handle it well.
So, let's start with a BDC. Tell me about one and how you've managed the ups and downs in both share price and dividend. How much and what do you monitor? What do you look for to enter a position and when do you think about selling -- or do you sell?

“While the dividend itself is merely a rearrangement of equity, over time it's more like owning an apple tree. The tree grows the apples back again and again and again, and the theoretical value of the tree doesn't change just because of when the apples are about to fall.” - earthtodan
