Last January, MoneyShow.com asked the leading newsletter advisors to select their favorite stocks for 2019. Healthcare was a popular sector in that survey, with several big first half winners. Here’s a check-up on 6 financial favorites for the second half.
as my top conservative investment idea for 2019. The stock has risen 21%. Gladstone Investment is a Business Development Company , founded and chaired by David Gladstone who was a pioneer in the sector. BDCs lend money to small- and medium-sized businesses, and are structured as Registered Investment Companies.
Gladstone focuses on relatively small businesses, usually lends with strong collateral, and takes equity as well as debt. Typically it invests in companies looking for funding to expand or, often, for a management buy-out. Gladstone does not invest in start-ups or turnarounds. It is an active partner with its portfolio companies.
BDC shares tend to be volatile, reacting to interest rate moves and developments in the economy, as well as news peculiar to the individual companies. So long as the dividend remains secure, we do not mind the stock volatility, but use it as opportunities to add to positions on weakness and occasionally trim on excessive strength.
In part, this was due to higher equity prices as the determination of carrying cost on its portfolio companies takes broad market values into consideration. In addition there were some very strong exits at higher than carrying cost.
