Golub Capital BDC: Disappointing Performance, Not As Bad As It Seems (Rating Downgrade)
Due to economic uncertainty and a disappointing quarter, I am downgrading Golub Capital BDC from a buy to a hold. Despite misses in the top and bottom lines, GBDC's credit rating upgrade and higher originations are positive signs for future performance. Management expects improved net investment income from higher originations and restructured borrowers, but economic volatility remains a risk.

Let's Talk Mortgage REITs (But Not For Too Long)
A bunch of mortgage REITs were severely overvalued. Now they are less overvalued. But some others are actually bargains. Tons of charts because images are fun. Ellington Financial's higher price-to-book ratio may be due to lower volatility in the total economic return by period. Digital Realty Trust deserves to be mocked. I am reporting for duty!
