DD156~ The Income Factory Has Me Thinking Twice....
I read The Income Factory by Steven Bavaria after hearing about it on a recent PPCIan YouTube video, and it has me really thinking twice about investing in BDCs. In this episode, I pretty much give you a book report "highlight" and share a few of my high yield on cost dividend stocks. I found the book really interesting and would recommend reading or listening to it on the Hoopla App, with an open mind to hear a different investing style.
