NCDL operates as a BDC and pays a 11.4% Quarterly Dividend.

A few Data Points:

Why Buy Now: A Highly Recognized BDC Guru just popped it as a Very Strong Buy. Says it’s undervalued after the recent nose dive: Who am I to argue with that? As with all new additions to the Income Port I started NCDL at a 1/2 position.

Note: While this might look like some sort of recommendation it is anything but. This post merely records a purchase I made. Following what Big Dumb Hick Investing does would represent a fallacy of manic/epic proportions. Ha Ha Ha - Don’t do it!
