Summary
- On one hand, BDC index prices moved up again. On the other hand, other data we use to measure investor enthusiasm for the BDC sector was unmoved.
- We seek to reconcile this contradictory picture, while looking forward.

BDC COMMON STOCKS
All Done
With the big drop in the broader markets – and in the BDC sector – the BDC rally is done. BDCS dropped (2.9%) this week to $19.18. That level of BDCS is (5.2%) off the February 22, 2019 high.
By our self imposed rules any drop over (5%) from a high point ends a rally, so there you are. That means this latest rally – in the volatile up and down world of BDC common stocks – lasted from December 24, 2018 to May 31, 2019. That’s 5 months and 1 week. From lowest to highest (using intra-day numbers) BDCS moved up 18.12%.
