Conclusion
I have one last bonus play: Cornerstone Progressive Return Fund (CFP). It has a yield of 18.2%, debt to equity ratio of 1 and a tiny market cap of just $105M. It has been paying dividends since 2007; the total return for the past 3 years is 14.72%, and for the past year it is 17.5%.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.
