investing into high yielding BDCs and REITs.

I would be careful with these two categories.

If you want high yield have a look at NGL/PRB and NGL/PRC. NGL is a master limited partnership, and those two are it's publicly traded preferred stock. Both pay about 11.8% of $25 and are currently trading around $24. As far as I can tell there's minimal chance that the partnership stops paying the distribution on the preferreds, in fact the balance sheet is improving each quarter. They're about the safest 12% yielding securities I've ever seen.

BDCs can easily blow up. All it takes is one bad quarter to lose two years worth of dividends in one pop. At least, if I buy them that's what happens!

And any REIT that yields more than 7% probably has something fishy going on. My two cents.

>> I need a steady stream of income for retirement, not wild gambles

That makes sense. If I were retired, I'd be invested exactly the same. I've got play money outside my 401K that I invest a little more aggressively with. Still looking for that next home run. :)
