I understand why people are looking closely at dividend stocks but I tend to avoid them.

Of course, if the opportunity is right for a capital gain and the underlying pays a dividend that's fine. But taking a position for yield isn't what I look for.

Except of course in Retirement accounts.

I do have a smattering of high yield positions but think PGP is one of the better ones.

PSEC isn't bad either, but gets the yo-yo effect whenever they do a secondary. In it's favor, they have increased the payout each quarter for the past 18 or 19 periods.

Strong Insider buying as well.



Last suggestion, I promise!!
