BDC Software Exposure
A HF friend of mine had his analyst go through the 10-K's of the top 22 public BDCs. The analyst used Pitchbook and Claude to categorize every loan by industry.
According to their findings, $OTF had highest software exposure 55% by Pitchbook and 65% by Claude .. not surprising at all.
But 2nd biggest exposure to software was $TSLX at 46% by Pitchbook and 57% by Claude .. pretty surprising.
Do your own work but transparency is coming to PC one way or another.
I don't have positions in either $OTF or $TSLX.

Next cycle probably not a repeat of '08 .. my bet would be it looks more like '90

Fascinating (and new to me) 1979 NYT article on Ayatollah Khomeini, who is apparently:
(1) an honest man, (2) surrounded by moderates concerned w/ human rights, (3) one who will leave his internal enemies (Jews, atheists, leftists) free to express themselves, & (4) overall a beacon of hope for the region's future.
(File under: 100% wrong wishful-thinking predictions.)
