Retail investors can tap into the high yields of private credit by investing in business development companies (BDCs). BDCs lend to small or medium-sized businesses that don't have access to public debt markets. These companies typically pay out 90% of their earnings as dividends and offer annualized yields ranging from 6% to over 16%. Some reliable performers in the BDC space include Blue Owl Capital, Ares Capital, Golub Capital BDC, Oaktree Specialty Lending, and Sixth Street Specialty Lending. Investors can also consider the VanEck BDC Income ETF for diversification. However, it's important to carefully evaluate BDCs as they can be vulnerable to economic downturns and their performance may not always match their dividend payouts.

Dividend stocks and ETFs, despite underperforming the broad market in the past year, have historically shown a tendency to bounce back strongly after periods of negative performance. The alpha of dividend stocks relative to the S&P 500 has swung between positive and negative extremes at regular intervals. While there are no guarantees, the historical record suggests that dividend-stock investors should not give up on these investments. It may even be an opportune time to buy more dividend stocks at their currently depressed prices. However, investors should exercise caution and consider other metrics alongside dividend yield to ensure the underlying companies are financially stable.

Traders are using "bond math" to justify contrarian bets on long-dated Treasurys, as they believe the potential gains from a rally outweigh the losses from further price deterioration. Calculations show that a 50 basis point decline in yields could result in a 13% return, while the opposite would lead to a 2.6% loss. However, critics argue that factoring in the opportunity cost of holding a one-year Treasury bill with a higher yield diminishes the attractiveness of these returns. While this bond market theory has little impact on price direction, it highlights potential outcomes for traders.

Investor demand for ether staking yields has slowed, according to a research report by Coinbase. The Ethereum blockchain validator queue has emptied for the first time since the Shanghai upgrade in May, indicating leveling off of investor interest. Staking yields have dropped to 3.5% from over 5% as the validator entry reached peak capacity. Coinbase expects the staking yield to remain flat now that validator growth has slowed, as long as underlying activity and transaction fees on the Ethereum network remain consistent. The report also noted that the upcoming Dencun upgrade in the first half of 2024 is not expected to have a major impact on onchain activity.
