Oxford Square: 14.8% Yield for Brave Contrarians

Oxford Square Capital Corp (OXSQ) offers a big 14.8% yield, but you need to be a brave contrarian if you’re going to invest.

This article provides a background on the company, analyzes its portfolio and finally concludes with our opinion on whether it’s worth risking some of your capital on this huge yield with significant share price appreciation potential.
