The More It Tanks, The More It Stanks
Published: June 09, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha

9% Dividends: 2 Retirement Income Powerhouses
Published: June 09, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Negative
When investing for retirement, there should be no compromises on the safety aspect. A large and unexpected income reduction in the retirement phase could lead to really bad consequences (e.g., reduction of living standards, being forced to locate alternative income sources).

Ares Capital: Overvalued Vs. Other BDCs
Published: June 03, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Negative
Weaker US M&A activity and declining net investment commitments signal subdued investment portfolio growth ahead. Investment yield spreads have been shrinking but latest management commentary and a lower-than-expected exposure to tariff-sensitive sectors are tailwinds going forward. ARCC trades at a 21% premium to BDC peers, far above its historical 5% average. So I think ARCC is relatively overvaluation and at risk of a mean reversion correction.

In this article, I discuss two high-quality BDCs (not ARCC and BXSL), which investors should consider divesting if they also assume an interest rate cut scenario as a base case.

Fat Dividends Served Reality Check
Published: May 29, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha

Big dividends sound great, but how about big losses? Since Q2 2025 began, book values got smacked. Not talking about share prices. You can tell if the share price declined (hopefully). That would be a worthless article. One of these high-yield sectors has been doing much better than the others.

My Income Portfolio: In The Garden Of Eden
Published: May 05, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Neutral
Total Return can be misleading if not supported by NAV growth, as it may include unsustainable distributions and Return of Capital. Behavioral finance shows markets are irrational, making it crucial to consider practical aspects beyond theoretical Total Return calculations. I believe that NAV performance can affect our discretion in the reinvestment choices for the distributions we receive from our savings much more than Total Return.
