They announced non-accruals were down slightly, so looking good. i just found out that I can use ChatGPT to give me automatic updates when they announce non accruals and delinquency rates. super helpful

Sure they might be profitable. But they have been around for practically 22 years and have only had 33% growth I would be a little skeptical.

lol theyre a BDC. Are you serious? The growth capital isn't there because it gets distributed to investors.
