Easy Income is on Cruise Control

It isn’t surprising that the dividend announcements come in small elephant herds. This time the announcements come from ARCC, CSWC, F, GTY, IBM, and STX.

CSWC is a BDC that announced their quarterly dividend and another supplemental dividend of $0.06 per share. IBM announced a very small dividend increase, but an increase is an increase.

Seeking Alpha QUANT Evaluation

A good mix of investments  continues to make sense for a reliable income stream. I usually like to know the status of the QUANT ratings for our investments. They are usually “HOLD.” Sometimes I buy more even if the rating is HOLD. I do trade covered call options on F, IBM, and STX. BDC’s are usually not as profitable for options trading. I also want to make certain I am in the best sectors. Technology is one of them.

For these investments, less the supplemental CSWC dividend, our estimated annual income for 2025 will be about $39K. That is easy income.
