We just made a new purchase in our Blue Harbinger Disciplined Growth portfolio. And before you start wondering, this is NOT a high-income investment. This is a powerful long-term cash flow thesis, and the recent short-term sell-off has created a compelling entry point.
3 High-Income Plays That Just Sold-Off
If you like high income and attractively discounted prices, this article has 3 ideas for you to consider. The ideas range from equity CEFs to bonds to high-yield BDCs, but they all have two things in common: (1) high income, and (2) attractively discounted prices. Without further ado, here is the list...
All Blue Harbinger Strategies Up (Again) in July, More Gains, More Income Ahead
Don't be this guy! As many investors got burned last month with overly concentrated "hyper-growth" portfolios, our performance continues to be strong, and we like our holdings going forward. Some of our under-priced securities started to post the big gains we believe they're overdue for, and a couple positions sold off, thereby making them even more attractive going forward; we will review those (and our overall performance) in this report.
Omega Healthcare: Attractive 8.9% Yield, Big Risks Ahead of Earnings
There is a lot of gloom and doom surrounding big-dividend REIT Omega Healthcare (OHI). The negativity originates mainly from Omega’s many troubled operators. And investor fear has grown as short-interest remains high, the share price has been volatile, and the very recently announced termination of restructuring support for Orianna. With Omega expected to announce earnings this week, this article reviews the big risks before concluding with our views on who may or may not want to own this high-income REIT.

Forget FANG: 100 High-Yield Stocks On Sale, These 4 Are Worth Considering
Netflix announced lower than expected subscriber growth numbers after the market closed, and the shares are down more than 13% in afterhours trading. This is a good reminder of the volatility and risks of FANG-type stocks (Facebook, Amazon, Netflix and Google/Alphabet) which have been performing extremely well, but have very high valuations. This article contrasts FANG stocks with data on over 100 high-yield stocks that have sold-off significantly this year and may be worth considering if you are an income-focused value investor. We also highlight four of our favorite opportunities from the list.
Tsakos: Tempting High Yields, Cash Flows Uncertain
Tsakos Energy Navigation (TNP) is a marine shipping company (mainly crude oil) that offers an array of high-yield equities including 5 series of preferred shares with dividend yields from 7.9% to 9.5% and common shares offering a 5.8% dividend yield. But before you start trying to decide which of Tsakos’ many high-yield securities you want to invest in, you might first want to consider whether you believe the business will actually produce the cash flows necessary to support those payments to investors. This article details the two biggest risks threatening Tsakos’ future ability to pay, and then reviews the differences between the company’s array of high yield securities. We conclude with our thoughts on how income-focused investors might want to “play” Tsakos.

Members Mailbag: Oxford Square’s 11.5% Yield
We recently received an inquiry from one of our members about BDC Oxford Square Capital (OXSQ). It’s tempting considering its huge 11.5% yield, its discounted price-to-book, and its very low market beta. However, investors need to be aware of several very important things, including the vast difference between its price and total return, the very strong relationship between OXSQ’s price-to-book value and credit spreads, and how big hedge funds, including Citadel and Millennium, are trading in and out of this name regularly.

This week's Blue Harbinger Weekly shares an attractive, growing, opportunity, that is becoming increasingly tempting as the shares have sold-off. This is one that backward-looking industry professionals may never see coming, until it's too late...
