With stress in high yield, change your income strategy

Brian Dress, director of research for Left Brain Investment Research, says that increased demand for high-yield securities, coupled with rising interest rates, has made it more difficult to find worthy, well-priced securities, which has Left Brain changing up the criteria on its Chosen List, adding high-dividend stocks and business-development companies to the income-producing mix. Dress discusses the change and highlights Black Stone Minerals as the kind of stock that fits the new bill.
