$MSDL I want more of this but it’s already 4% of my holdings! I have other BDCs that total about 1/4 of holdings(all the “solid ones imo, HTGC, ARCC, etc). Thoughts on BDC risk and % allocated to them (especially if recently retired). I’m addicted to the income but almost seems too good to be true.

$MSDL This is a new high dividend stock I discovered recently that I have a small position in to see how it handles Trumps volatility. Pays a high dividend and the divi is well covered. Down about 5% over the past year. A possible good port in the coming storm along stocks like $JEPI $VZ $KO etc.
