Sergio, Some BDCs survived the credit crisis well - ARCC, for example. But all their stock prices got hit hard during the crisis. Even ARCC went from $16 to $4. Since these are very credit sensitive companies, it is clear to me that you don't want to own them going into a credit crisis. You may end up ok in the end, but why hold something that could go down 50%+? It would be better to buy the more solid ones in the midst of the credit crisis, after they have gone down a lot. MC
