You ever look at the US Income Deposit Securities? The attached site lists 3-4 with descriptions (note DRY is being acquired in an LBO) which is surprising as the exit from its last LBO was this IDS security given a lack of buyers.

Great start ! I have a few ideas but will post after further analysis. It seems a number of companies use leverage to obtain a high yield payout. Leverage can backfire in a major way. I'm astonished when I see the short and long term debt carried by the big banks compared to 10 years ago.
