BDC COMMON STOCKS

Up And Down And Across

The week ended August 16, 2019 was a volatile one for the broader markets.

The Dow Jones – by way of example –  had its worst day of the year on August 14, 2019.

Yet, when the dust settled by week’s end, the S&P 500 was down “only” (1.03%).

Still, that 3 weeks in a row to the downside, off (4.59%).

BDC COMMON STOCKS

Schizophrenic

In a week where BDC common stock prices should have been all about the results coming out of the first week of earnings season, there were other forces at play.

The Fed cut rates in the most telegraphed move since the invention of the telegraph itself and the Trump Administration returned to tariff wielding.

Without getting into the whys, the result was that the major indices fell out of bed – again.

The S&P 500the Nasdaq and the Dow Jones indices were all off between (2.5%) and (3.8%).

For the S&P, this was the worst week of 2019 and all the major indices dropped below their 50 Day Moving Averages, according to CNBC.

BDC COMMON STOCKS

Range Bound

We’re committed to writing a weekly assessment of where the BDC common market stands because a lot can happen in a short time.

We don’t have to look far back in time for a helpful example.

Between December 24, 2018 and January 10, 2019 BDCS – our proxy for the sector – moved up more than 10%.

That’s a whole year of dividend income in 12 business days.
