Lots of good looking numbers on this one, in addition to everything that's already been said, their last quarter was super strong. Also, lots of insider buying.

Companies like this are going to be the wave of the future (at least for the next couple of years) because they are investing in small-mid cap companies that have a lot of growth potential. In otherwords, they aren't investing in 'snake-oil' start-u...

Apollo isn't exactly holding the world in it's arms, but it is hard to argue with over a 13% dividend at it current yield and price...this is just another 80 lb 16 year old that has been battered around by the excess bullying of the financials. I wou...

One of the few ways for average retail investors to participate in the early stages of company growth. I find it difficult to evaluate financials, but think that ROE (high, at over 22%) should be a good indicator of performance.

The mortgage scare has crossed over into all forms of lending, making it difficult for companies to borrow money. A well run company with a proven track record like AINV should find excellent opportunities in this market.

Great dividend payer that has a zero tax drag on its earnings as long as it distributes 90% or more of its earnings every year. Also, they invest in / loan money to smaller companies that I would never have access to otherwise.

This company has competent management and is trading near NAV. ...

Going with HG Team on this. Good valuation relative to other BDC companies (ACAS, ALD, ARCC) . I think the recent credit compression will make BDC services (i.e. mezzanine, and bridge loans) to middle market companies will lead to increased pricing...

What can I say...I'm looking for extra income, so higher dividends (9+%) plus an appearance of a stock price below it's estimated value are attractive. My investment numbers are low (my stock purchases number in the 100s of shares), so my rish thres...
