I’ve been getting greedier and lazier, so I started looking at high-yield stocks. How do you like these?
(AINV: 7.95 -0.63%), 9.88% – Apollo Investment Corp. Diversified investments, interesting.

(JNK: 39.4089 -0.21%), 9.28% – SPDR Barclays Capital High Yield B. Still know nothing about bonds.

(PGF: 17.5287 -0.06%), 7.06% – PowerShares Fin. Preferred Port. Financials, but preferred, that’s good.

(PVX: 11.7489 +0.25%), 8.77% – Provident Energy Trust. Hmmm, natural gas. Then maybe not. Chart looks like a rising wedge, too, yes?

(VGR: 17.55 -0.23%), 9.09% – Vector Group Ltd. Cigarettes! is this evil?

I just noticed Yahoo has a new section called “Market Pulse”. They totally stole it from me! I coined the term at least a year ago
Ya, ok, theirs is a slightly different concept.
I’m looking for a stock to replace my (LYG: 2.2071 +3.14%) as I plan to sell at least half of it soon.
Here are my current picks. It’s purely accidental that 4/6 start with an A
Here are the quotes:
(ASX: 4.85 +2.75%), (ATML: 10.20 -1.64%), (AWC: 5.66 +0.71%), (CIM: 3.1436 +0.76%), (SDRL: 37.94 +0.16%), (SPIL: 5.35 -2.19%).
