Capital Southwest (CSWC) Stock

Panic selling is a terrible way to destroy your income stream, and retirees are often guilty of this practice. We review the recent earnings and dip to see if the sell-off is overdone. I collect income from all corners of the economy to fund my retirement.

Capital Southwest's recent earnings report showed a decline in net investment income and total investment income, but impressive portfolio growth and solid credit quality. Despite a slight drop in NAV, this grew on an absolute basis. Their balance sheet remains strong with significant liquidity and one of the  lowest leverages amongst their peers.
