The value proposition for stocks lessens as the market rises IMHO. Obviously, there were some screaming bargains in '08 when it was a challenge to dip one's toes in the water. The bargains are few and far between currently.
Thanks for the heads up on JQC, I was planning on running a screen for the most attractive floaters....least leveraged, biggest discount to NAV etc.

McSweet, yes I feel the thread and probably Siliconinvestor is slowly dying. It's probably a result for the market as well, with few opportunities to do value investing.

Anyways, my recent buys are:
Adds: QUCT @ 1080$ (discussed before a while ago, possibly a value trap, but very low risk)
FMBL @5930 (buying back some that I sold before). Rock solid bank, still below tangible book
OVLY @9.6$ (also buy back, discussed before)
Looking at MSM (industrial distributor) hopefully cheaper. I like the business model and there seems to be a long growth runway.

I also added DISCA a while ago, more like a GAARP stock and " Munger Canibal" stock.

Bought JQC today, thanks MC. Did like the discount to NAV, also liked the market cap and large trading volume relative to other floating rate CEFs.
