The market still seems to be extremely bearish on high yield investments. I understand that, I basically lead the charge against the mortgage REITS. Business Development Corporations like Prospect Capital Corporation (PSEC) are a different animal, though. While their books do hold a large amount of commercial paper, the loans are variable interest, and they also hold equity investments in a diverse assortment of businesses. Interest rates haven't moved very much lately, but in spite of that, the share price is still low enough to get a 16% forward yield. Unless interest rates come up very quickly, this should be a solid income holding. From time to time, they do reduce distributions, but then they use that money to increase their portfolio of holdings. I like to buy good sized chunks of shares whenever there is a sharp pullback. Prospect Capital closed up 27 cents on Friday, to $6.17/share.
