MAIN is another BDC that I don't think has been previously mentioned here. MAIN invests in middle market private equity and is able to pursue opportunities that larger investment firms and banks are not. Co. went public in 1997 so its exposure to sour investments is lower than its competitors. Since it has investments in Europe, it pays a monthly 9% dividend. Insiders are buying. Trading at reasonable valuations, slightly above nav and book. Management has done a nice job demonstrated by the attractive bottom line margin and return and consistently beating earning estimates.
