There's something terribly wrong here and I'd be one sorry moderator were I not to bring it to public attention:
Having held Hercules in my own portfolio now for exactly one month, I'm seeing a gain of 4 pennies shy of a whole dollar. it should be obvious to one (me) and all (you) that this could prove to be one of the most outstanding plays of the year for a high yield hound.
This pick may well be the first item on my short list when that juicy NGL distribution comes in to the tune of $17,50?. Toss in a few other distributions from different picks and that leaves me with $18,000 to play with.
Perhaps $5K will go into my checking account to sit alongside the long established cash reserves (dry powder). Another $5K or so will bring a bit of relief to the margin utilization. The rest, half of which will be sitting in three sheltered accounts---will be spread out among several plays. NGL will be the recipient of of a very small amount through a DRIP in a tiny IRA. Another IRA will be similarly handled. Most of the NGL bounty will be in the form of cash.
Hercules will definitely be in line for a transfusion as it's been so profitable already. I've not yet decided how to disperse the funds but this will be foremost in my mind as the next few weeks roll on by.
More on this to come.
However, I've gotta wonder why I find myself alone here? This is so profitable already! And take a look at the Barchart opinion option and you'll find 100% buy signals all over the place. Ditto with CEQP, by the way.
If you're not sure about launching a position in a BDC, read up on it. As you do, consider the impact on smaller businesses in America and how you expect they'll fare as the current administration continues to fight for the little business entities. I think you'll sense a new imperative and frankly there's no time like the present to make a move.
Let me know what you do, please.
