Kinetik Holdings Inc. (KNTK) is an energy midstream company that was formed in February 2022 when publicly traded Altus Midstream merged with privately held EagleClaw Midstream. This created the only pure-play midstream company operating in the Texas Delaware Basin, notes Tim Plaehn, editor of The Dividend Hunter.

Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) values are inversely sensitive to rising interest rates. With the Federal Reserve launching the most rapid rate-hiking cycle in decades two years ago, REIT values have fallen by about 35%. But share prices will lead a recovery in business results, which is why you should look at the Hoya Capital High Dividend Yield ETF (RIET), suggests Tim Plaehn, editor of The Dividend Hunter.

Stock traders and capital gains-focused investors have their fingers crossed and capital bets on the Federal Reserve starting to cut interest rates soon. Based on recent inflation and employment data, I think it’s very possible that the Fed will not be that quick to cut rates. Because of that, I think there’s one specific asset class you should be buying right now, and one stock in it: Blue Owl Capital Corp. (OBDC), advises Tim Plaehn, editor of The Dividend Hunter.

The bond market drawdown that started in August 2020 has been the longest decline in the history of the bond market. Investors with assets in bond funds have suffered through a three-year bear market. Unfortunately, the way bond funds operate makes it nearly impossible to recover the losses. In this presentation, Tim will explain how bond funds operate and the problems with traditionally operated funds. He will also give you high-yield alternatives with a different structure that eliminates the biggest problem with traditional bond funds and ETFs. He'll even show you how to incorporate them into your portfolio.

When the pandemic-induced lockdowns started last year many companies suspended or severely cut back their dividend payments to conserve cash. Some have restarted, some are waiting, some may be a while until they restart, and some may not even survive. Those that haven't restarted dividends or won't for a while are close to dead money for investors. Those already paying dividends again—even in small amounts to start—are what Tim Plaehn considers to be alive. In this discussion he will look at some of the better-known names in the high-yield space to determine which stocks you should consider dead, which to consider alive, and how to make the call.
