re BDC -
Aren't BDC just crappy junk bonds with leverage in disguise. They have nothing to do with private equity, although there are a few that take stakes in smaller companies as well.

Based on my observations, BDC are mostly a Ponzi scheme catering to investors reaching for yield a bit too far. in most cases, the yield is just a return on capital, either directly, or the loans are so risky that a default rate erodes the principal. These are not stocks you want to own if there are any problems in the credit market.
