ISerg/iStock via Getty Images Now is an interesting time to be invested in the market, to say the least. With so much volatility going on, I see opportunities for options traders and dividend investors to profit from market mispricing. Since I’m primarily focused on dividend stocks, I believe investors who are willing to stomach some volatility will reap long term rewards in the form of sizable income streams purchased at attractive prices. This brings me to the following 2 picks, both of which are trading in value range with yields ranging from 6% to 11%. Both carry strong balance sheets and have diverse income streams, making them great picks for investors who prize quality and yield, so let’s get started! #1: Capital Southwest Capital Southwest ( CSWC ) is one of a handful of internally-managed BDCs, providing debt and equity capital to lower middle market companies. This space is highly fragmented with over 100K businesses, and is less competitive than the upper middle market where bigger players like Ares Capital ( ARCC ) operate. CSWC’s portfolio companies typically generated annual EBITDA between $3 to $25 million. CSWC’s debt investments are protected by an equity buffer, with loan-to-value ratios ranging from 25% to 50%. The investment portfolio is well-diversified with low exposure to software. As shown below, top sectors include Healthcare, Consumer Products & Services, Media & Marketing, Transportation/Logistics, and Food & Beverage. Investor Presentation Moreover, most of CSWC’s portfolio (90%) is invested in first-lien secured loans, which sit at the top of the capital stack. This means that they stand first in line for principal recovery in the event of a borrower default. CSWC delivered solid results during fiscal Q3 2026 (ended 12/31/25), with NII per share of $0.60. This more than covered the $0.1934 monthly dividend rate, adding up to $0.58 per quarter. On top of that, CSWC paid a $0.06 special dividend in March and has declared another $0.06 spec...
Iranian oil is trading at a premium to the global Brent crude benchmark for the first time since May 2022, a sharp reversal from the steep discounts that have typically defined its sanctions-constrained trade.

Iranian oil is trading at a premium to the global Brent crude benchmark for the first time since May 2022, a sharp reversal from the steep discounts that have typically defined its sanctions-constrained trade. The price for the nation’s main export grade swung to a premium of $1 a barrel to Brent on March 26, just days after the US temporarily rolled back some sanctions on the country’s oil, according to data from Argus Media. That contrasts with a roughly $10-a-barrel discount in early 2026 when all of the country’s supply was under sanctions. The last time Iranian barrels fetched a premium was during the market turmoil following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Read more: Iran Oil Revenue Soars as It’s the Only Exporter Out of Hormuz The shift shows how Tehran is benefiting from its control of the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow opening to the Persian Gulf which has been effectively closed to tankers carrying supply from Iran’s neighbors including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Iraq. With Brent hovering around $107 per barrel and global supply constrained, buyers are willing to pay extra for barrels that can still move, even if they came from previously blacklisted channels. By blocking passage for rival Gulf producers while allowing its own shipments, Tehran has created a bottleneck that has lifted prices globally and enhanced the relative value of Iranian Light crude. Tanker-tracking data indicate that Iran-linked vessels have continued to transit the strategic waterway and offload cargo from floating storage. The increased prices are proving a boon for the politically connected trading entities that dominate the Islamic Republic’s sanctioned oil trade. Networks overseen by Hossein Shamkhani and Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei have profited from keeping crude flowing through Hormuz, according to people familiar with the nation’s shipping operations.

Barrick Mining Corp. has tapped Goldman Sachs Group Inc. to lead an initial public offering of its North American assets, according to people familiar with the matter, as the company moves forward with plans to spin out its premier gold mines. Michael Klein , a veteran dealmaker who founded advisory firm M. Klein & Co. , is also advising on the transaction, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing confidential information. The Canadian gold producer is exploring the listing as part of an effort to unlock value from its lucrative mines in the US and the Dominican Republic. The deal , which could value the North American assets at more than $60 billion, would separate the business from operations in more risky jurisdictions, including Mali and Pakistan. Representatives for Barrick, M. Klein & Co. and Goldman Sachs declined to comment. Details of the potential share sale — including its size, timing and valuation — are still being discussed and could change, the people said. Barrick told staff earlier this week it formed an executive leadership team for the new company, which consists of seven positions, Bloomberg reported on Tuesday.

The Toronto-based gold producer has also worked closely with Klein, a prominent investment banker who previously served at Citigroup Inc. and was involved in Barrick’s 2019 takeover of Randgold Resources Ltd.

(Photo by JEFF KOWALSKY / AFP via Getty Images) | AFP via Getty Images Usha Vance has a new podcast: Storytime with the Second Lady . It's exactly what it sounds like. Each episode begins with a brief introduction, after which JD Vance's wife reads a children's story. The first three episodes were released Monday, and none is longer than 11 minutes - children's books are, after all, quite short. It's an unexpected move for Vance, who gave up a career as a high-powered lawyer to be second lady. But her pivot to podcasting isn't entirely unprecedented. She's simply the latest conservative spouse to pivot to content creation. It's a new front of the ongoing culture wars: Instead of trying to win back supposedly l … Read the full story at The Verge.
