Investors love dividend stocks, especially those with ultra-high yields that pay monthly, because they provide a substantial income stream and offer significant total return potential.

Many brokerage firms charge no or very low commissions for stock trades. Many of today's top investors started buying stocks when they were much younger.

Barings BDC's dividend appears safe for the near-term, but declining financials and economic uncertainty warrant caution for income investors. Recent earnings showed net investment income fell below dividend coverage, with credit quality and leverage metrics also weakening. Despite attractive discount to NAV and defensive portfolio moves, I recommend waiting for financial and NAV stability before buying.
