Just glanced at NEWT. Be aware that BDCs are now allowed by law to use more leverage than in the past. Maybe twice as much. Not all are taking advantage of that change but NEWT is. BDCs have a pretty good safety record precisely because they have been required to maintain strong balance sheets. Is that safety record in jeopardy?

I saw that PSEC said it wasn't going to increase leverage... for the time being, and its stock is doing well, too.
