Today’s Trades: OCSL, ICSH, TRMD

Closed my position in Oaktree Specialty Lending Corporation (OCSL) for a small loss. This business development company, BDC, has underperformed others in my portfolio: Ares Capital (ARCC), Main Street Capital (MAIN), Gladstone Investment (GAIN) and Hercules Capital (HTGC).

I used the proceeds to purchase a new holding:

TORM (TRMD)

  • UK-based shipping company that owns a fleet of oil tankers
  • 19.4% dividend

Also, I had a short term T-bill mature today, so I used those funds to purchase a new holding for my cash reserves:

BlackRock Ultra Short-Term Bond ETF (ICSH)

  • 5.23% monthly dividend
