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%.

BDC COMMON STOCKS

More Of Same

Guess what? Another week where BDC common stock prices went nowhere. Again, the UBS Traded Note which covers 36 of the 45 stocks in our universe, ticker BDCS, was essentially flat.

BDCS closed at $19.88, from $19.85 the week before. Outside the major markets rage up and down in price depending on their latest view on tariffs, the economy, impending war in the Middle East etc.

Up to a point, BDC prices move in tandem, but by week’s end we end back where we started. 15 stocks were up in price, and 30 were unchanged or down.
