AINV is on sale, and is a buy.

AINV's business is to invest funds in other companies -- and its balance sheet is full of these investments, which it may "flip" if it wants but which it is also perfectly able to sit back and allow to mature...

Apollo Investment is a regulated investment company (RIC), and, as such, required to distribute 90% of its income, which is currently yielding a fat 9%. Although the stock has been trading only since 2004, Apollo has been operating since 1990, and I...

Another financial that seems to be over-sold. The fundamentals look strong and at a P/E of less than 7 and a 13% yield, I don't understand why this stock got pummeled. I see a bottom and a good opportunity to buy.

AINV is dirt cheap right now. It'll grow through dividends and share price 30% over the next year, fetching a $2.50 dividend and a $25+ stock price easily. AINV can keep the pace of high-interest rates through variable rated bonds, yet can weather ...

This stock provides a great dividend because of it's company structure. It has been beaten down along with the market. Don't expect the stock price to take off but collect a nice dividend. The investments that this company makes are a little opaqu...

NOT my favorite (BDC) company. But, it has been beaten down enough to offer a potential short - to - mid-term investment play.

This is a very volatile/political sector right now ... so pay close attention. So many deals. So much (increased) scrutin...

Management is venerable guardians of this company that helps to develop more companies. That, a value price and a more than 9% dividend. AINV make not double over night, but I drool for the safety of a high flying dividend.

I believe this BDC's stock price has been taken down by the greater macro woes. Management seems smart, and there were insider buys even as recent as December 2007. At $14 this is a relatively safe buy.

This is a lukewarm pick. I think the company has reasonably good prospects, but their concentration in the financial sector is a bit worrisome.

Then again, as an investment management company, I'd hope they would be doing the required due diligence...
