I'm not sure I want to invest in anything the massive institutions are playing with. I still recall my days in the sandpit at kindergarten. A couple of institutional bullies that would not let you play with the cool big yellow digger. I was just the little retail investor that got to play with the shell, and pretend it was a digger.
I'm actually not implying that institutional investors are bullies, but they control the market and we tiny retail investors get nothing but crumbs. So I look at stocks that they don't. Obviously I do have a portion of my stocks in the bigs, but it's just $Vanguard S&P 500 ETF(VOO)$ And $Vanguard Growth ETF(VUG)$. Let the bigs do what the bigs do, I'm happy with the crumbs from those two etfs.
I'm more about my foundations, cashflow is king right, so I'm into bdc's and reit's and a few other companies that just smash dividend returns and consistent dividend growth. Like $Main Street Capital(MAIN)$, $Trinity Capital Inc.(TRIN)$, $Gladstone Capital(GLAD)$, $Blue Owl Capital Corporation(OBDC)$ and a few others.

Awesome that you found quite great dividend yield stocks to make your money work for you! Interesting perspective you have there - to hunt for stocks that are outside the radar of institutional plays. Kudos to your bravery! I'm too timid and would rather ride on the coat tails of big brothers, going along the roller coaster ride with them HAHA. 🎢
Cheers to whatever perspectives and trading strategies we have! May the tides and tables be forever in our favour! 🍻 🥂🍺🥃🍹
Diving into BDCs and REITs for that consistent cash flow? That's a savvy move. MAIN, TRIN, GLAD, OBDC—those are some heavy hitters in the dividend game. You're building a strong foundation with reliable returns, and that's key. Cash flow really is king, and it sounds like you've got a portfolio that's designed to keep the money coming in. Keep doing what works for you, and those dividends will keep you in the game.
