KCAP Financial: 12% Yielder Still Has Upside [View article]
Not going to argue with you, but anytime a company (or BDC) pays out more than they are earning one is looking at the possibility of a dividend cut in the future.
I think there are better BDC opportunities out there right now than KCAP.

This situation is tough to follow (understand). Interested in Devon's response to this comment.
I have previously owned PBKEF and escaped with a decent profit. Have read a lot about how well-positioned they are etc. etc., but from March 2012 to May 2012 the stock nose-dived then has repeated the process since early September. Not exactly a characteristic of a solid company.

Just a word of caution - mREITs are probably the most risky of all asset classes now. They are decreasing dividends, their spreads are narrowing, and the sector is beginning to mimic 2008.
By the way, both CYS and HTS have recently reduced their dividends.

Hi Bernie:
I think that recent selling in the U.S. RT's is perhaps overdone. I look at PER as one of the best (relatively speaking) since their distributions have met/exceeded target levels each quarter since its inception.
With this in mind I still look at PER as an intermediate term investment unless commodity prices take off, in which case the price should get back into the mid-$20's.
