If you look purely at the share price and the dividend, an entry may seem attractive. I also have them on my watchlist. However, the macroeconomic situation is far too volatile for me at the moment. Tariffs, possible inflation inflation and possibly even rising interest rates, an uncertain market environment and caution among investors. I, at least, am staying on the sidelines
I have been invested in Hercules for years and reinvest the dividends in new shares on a quarterly basis. It's doing quite well - and I have to say that this is one of the few stocks that has weathered the bull market well so far. I hope it stays that way. Other stocks such as AGNC, Odord Lane, and so on were hit harder, as were NAS100 ETFs and the like. And even those will probably come back. Even sought-after shipping companies such as SITC remained quite stable - high dividends and a stable share price. Diversification is the only strategy that helps here.
