Hot Take ↕ | April 18, 2026, 10:39 p.m. EDT

High-conviction short signal driven by severe overpayment of distributions; Turn Rate (payout ratio) of 1.24x indicates NAV erosion, confirmed by headlines describing 'destructive distributions' and poor earnings, while recent price action is under selective selling pressure from a rights offering despite a slight, non-sustainable technical bounce.
