Income is both extremely desired, and very hard to achieve in today’s market. Based on the economic data which hit the morning of the 7th, it seems likely to stay that way. So where are the best places to find income? One of the first places investors think of outside of bonds is the dividend aristocrats, but the bad news is they are only yielding 1.9%. If you need more income, check out high yield bond ETFs like the SPDR Bloomberg Barclays High-Yield Bond ETF (JNK), which yields 4%. But the best bet is to look at bond closed end funds, for example the DoubleLine Income Solutions Fund run by bond legend Jeffrey Gundlach. The fund yields 7.3%.

FINSUM: Bond closed end funds are great. Many trade at a discount to their NAV and they have very nice yields.

Tech is in a rough patch right now. The Nasdaq fell for four straight days leading into May 6th, and even on the 6th, smaller tech stocks fell sharply. All of this is spelling trouble for the recent manager-of-the-moment: Kathy Wood and ARK etfs. The fund’s flagship ARKK has lost an eye-opening 12% so far this week. The worst start to a month since it launched in 2014.

FINSUM: The fund is still up 94% over the last twelve months, but it looks like the next few months are going to be very rough for tech as investors try to digest the new rate environment.
