EFC FTW

Try taking a look at Ellington. In looking for high yielding dividend stocks a while back I chose EFC over other options such as Orchid.

So (as you might imagine) my income is inconsistent. I’m looking to create some stability through a dividend portfolio, but might have taken “it’s best to diversify!” to an extreme.
I’m new here and would love any advice on what to cut/trim/add. I’m 47 years old and it’s a taxable account. Here are my holdings:
