"Be careful buying the dip in BDC land. $ARCC & $BXSL portfolio is over 20% software Sixth street considered higher quality over 40% software & NAV just came down 1% in the qtr isnt good $TSLX Lower quality $OBDC actually only 10% software and insiders bought big around $11 so that could be a buy zone. Big discount to NAV at $14.89 $MAIN is well below 10% and probably the safest though you pay 1.8x book still. Probably a good buy closer to $50 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2022485742824624337 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2022485742824624337"
