Forensic private-credit skeptic dissecting BDC plumbing, hidden leverage, and mark-to-myth
Original sector analysis and running commentary on private c
Grade = how their written analysis reads (A best). Trader score = how their last-20 timestamped calls performed vs SPY. · Analyst brief as of 2026-06-22.
Across their last 11 scored bets: 18% hit rate, +1.08% mean alpha, trader score +0.19. Their last-14d mentions, direction-adjusted, have moved -2.5% since posting (mean over 12 mentions with price data).
This author is mainly calling stress and opacity in private credit, BDC software marks, and PE exit math rather than making many equity calls. The distinctive read is that tight spreads and dividend recaps are masking weak sponsor-backed credit quality, with Medallia used as the clearest default case. Ticker-level views are sparse: cautious on FOX/ROKU deal logic and AIRBAL credit stress, constructive on ODD bonds.
No explicit position flip, add, trim, or exit appears in the signal set. The week is concentrated in bearish private-credit and PE-liquidity commentary, with Medallia as the clearest credit event and late-week emphasis on dividend recaps, BDC software marks, and weak tech buyout marks. Ticker-level concentration is low, except the FOX/ROKU deal skepticism and single-name bond notes on ODD, ACN, and AIRBAL.

Grade is our human read-worthiness rating; trader score is a rolling 20-bet hit-rate/alpha composite — different things, often disagreeing. “Since then” is direction-unaware in the table; the summary line above adjusts for which way they leaned.
