Voting with insiders - CEO, CFO, directors have been buying in past few months (and since 2009 as far as I can see). 14% yield. BDCs are hard to value and you just don't know what is real -- I read David Einhorn's book Fooling Some of the People All the Time and was amazed at the tomfoolery. But insider buying and dividend payouts are tangible things -- you just hope management is not tricking themselves into thinking everything is rosy.
In at $8.72 per share. Their low leverage is huge, and I'm hoping they're taking advantage of their newly authorized share buy-back plan, as they are earning under 13% while paying over 13% in dividends.
