Forget FANG: 100 High-Yield Stocks On Sale, These 4 Are Worth Considering

Netflix announced lower than expected subscriber growth numbers after the market closed, and the shares are down more than 13% in afterhours trading.

It’s tempting considering its huge 11.5% yield, its discounted price-to-book, and its very low market beta. However, investors need to be aware of several very important things, including the vast difference between its price and total return, the very strong relationship between OXSQ’s price-to-book value and credit spreads, and how big hedge funds, including Citadel and Millennium, are trading in and out of this name regularly.
