From your list, I own SFL, MPW, and of course EGAS. Todays buy moved EGAS to #2 in $$ value ahead of MPW for me. After some homework, I find I have 26.7% of my portfolio in stocks yielding 7% or more. Together they generate 40% of the dividend income. I generally keep the positions small ( size safety? ), but already owned, and added to PSEC and MPW after dividend cuts. Original CPLP shares bought after a cut and added more on the issuance of more shares. Those three make up 14.2% of my holdings, and generate 21.8% of the income. All stocks yielding 7% or more with portfolio %: BKCC 10.9% 1% CIM 18% .7% CLMT 8.6% 1.2% NRF 9.2% 1.2% UVE 8.5% 1.6% VGR 8.4% 1.4% CWH 7.8% 1.5% HTGC 7.6% .75% MCGC 7.8% 1.3% TICC 7.9% 1.5% CPLP 10.8% 3.6% PSEC 11.5% 3.85% MPW 7.2% 6.7%
