What to Buy? (4 Strategies)

Aug 9, 2026

The creator discusses strategies for buying income-producing assets, focusing on two specific examples: PTY and HTGC. For PTY, a closed-end fund, the creator sees a pricing opportunity due to its price trading at a significant discount to its asset value, suggesting the market overreacted to fears of falling interest rates and credit collapse. For Hercules Capital (HTGC), a business development company, the creator notes its strong historical total returns and current trading below its historical price-to-book ratio, despite not being traditionally "cheap." The creator believes credit investments, including HTGC, may be oversold.
