Look at APU, yielding 10.4% I don't have any extra cash to invest, if anything, from here I'll be selling rather than buying. But some day that will change in the other direction! I've already got double the amount of PSEC that I want to own, I'm hoping to sell half my PSEC position above $9.00 sometime next year. That's one of the things about these "buying opportunities", they only are useful if you haven't enough bought already. For MLPs I've got CPLP (a shipper, with improving fundamentals, modestly increasing dividends and a consistently declining share price!), UAN (a fertilizer maker, 'nuff said) and MEMP (an oil producer 87% hedged through 2019 and a plummeting share price). I added to my UAN a few weeks ago and MEMP just last week (at $1.81, hopefully near the all time low!). From here I would rather sell something or just sit where I am rather than add more stuff. ====== Regardless of what Josh Peters thinks!

I like your focused approach. I have a tendency to hold my dividend payers longer and will give my company the benefit of the doubt if/when they make a cut that might be sector related. In fact I may buy more shares if it is not a company specific problem. Can you list your two highest yielding dividend payers; your two longest held dividend payers and the last two dividend payers you sold out because of a dividend cut and/or company specific problem.
