"FWIW, over on the income forum, I was lambasted for a terrible call and this company was going BK. For me it is Risk vs Reward and my position quite small w/ a 2.3x upside."

Terrible calls and the fat lady singing can be two totally different things:

02/24/2020 09:33:39 Bought 20 RCL @ 99.61 -1,992.20

03/03/2020 13:58:57 Bought 20 RCL @ 77.5 -1,550.00

03/17/2020 09:49:01 Bought 100 RCL @ 28.71 -2,871.00

Currently up 26.8%, while the S+P is still down over 100 points since 2/24.

a 2% yield is going to look incredible if we get into negative rates. It is a very small probability but possible IMO.
Well that is true and it is hard to predict rates. While there are an occasional exception, I personally just like sticking to the 4% minimum threshold in buying. But I have bought the occasional stock yielding less.

FWIW, over on the income forum, I was lambasted for a terrible call and this company was going BK. For me it is Risk vs Reward and my position quite small w/ a 2.3x upside.
Yeah, I used to own the Soho preferred but got out whole before the crash. I can see the attractiveness. As long as someone understand the risk/reward balance, nothing wrong with doing some speculative buys. That was my thinking buying SPG. Back in the 08-09 crash, I did the same with a whole host of issues that were priced for oblivion and all of those paid off handsomely. But I am more conservative in my portfolio these days so I limit my speculative plays now compared to then. Good luck with Soho

so dividends accrue in the rears.

Ahem. Where do they accrue?
