Can This 7% Yield Possibly Be Safe?
Over the past decade, few businesses have paid out higher yields than business development corporations (BDCs). Big banks have turned their back on small-town America. With all of the new regulations, bankers only want to lend to their largest customers. That’s good news for BDCs, as these firms have rushed in to close the gap left in the marketplace. And with little in the way of competition, lenders have earned themselves outsized profits...
3 High-Yield Stocks With Virtual Monopolies
Regulated monopolies aplenty operate in the U.S. and around the world. In general, governments keep these businesses from putting their customers over a barrel and regulating prices and service levels, while the companies settle for a solid return without fear of competitive entry.

Either way, monopoly enterprises can make for solid investments, particularly if they're able to pay shareholders an above-average dividend yield...

If a company goes under, bondholders get the first bite at assets, but then preferred stockholders come next, before common stockholders. I like these three preferred stock issuances, all of which yield more than 6%...
3 Baby Bonds Paying 5%-Plus
Baby bonds, or exchange-traded debt, are similar to preferred stock in that each behaves both like a stock and a bond. Baby bonds trade like stocks on the major exchanges, however there is a narrow range of prices they trade in. It is easier to trade baby bonds because, unlike regular bonds that often trade in minimum baskets of $10,000, you can buy or sell any amount. Like many bonds, they push out distributions on a quarterly basis. However, the money gets taxed as ordinary income, not as dividends. Here are three issues worth looking at for your portfolio...
