RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Getting back inI thought the earnings were okay on a relative basis.
I really don't understand the kudos being given by some posters here for them lowering expenses. It is completely unbelievable how much they're paying themselves for what they're doing (and how well they're doing it). The expense run rate is pure lunacy.Then we have increased stock-based compensation...
Agree with another poster's comment about the "opportunities" vs lack of activity. Are they trying to demonstrate that they're being really careful? Based on some of the stuff they *do* eventually invest in, I think it's fair to say that the "pipeline" is mostly a sewer.
And then they mention in the quarterly PR that the market is currently valuing them at 33% of NAV. That's kind of what happens when you write off a big chunk of your assets every quarter. Quite a spectacle.
I haven't delved into it deeply, but amidst the sea of perennial negatives the main positive (to me) was that there were no major surprises. Still the same 7 companies that haven't paid what's owed, and all of that has been written down to 0 already. Also the "past due" amounts appear to be within reason (ie. companies are currently paying what's owed).
Some mea culpa would go along way here.
