  • 6 High Yielding Companies Boosting Distributions [View article]
    I actually mutliplied the latest distribution by 4. I doubt that AGNC would maintain a 1.50 dividend/quarter, since I believe 1/5th of that was a one time gain.

    Alan,

    I was mainly complaining against the volatility in dividends and their not being smooth. PSEC has a pretty smooth and non-volatile dividend payment. HTS and AGNC do not have a long enough history of paying out a distribution, but based off the data I have, it is volatile. It's true that REITs and BDC have to pay out almost all of their earnings. But if the earnings and their cash flows are volatile, then your dividend income form them would be subject to volatility, right?
    Some investors are fine with that, as the high current yield provides some buffer. I personally like companies with a smooth and steady dividend stream. It makes my budgeting much easier.
