It's obvious that most brokers don't have a clue of what they recommend to clients. Rarely do they own what they are talking about. Here at VF it's real. Real people with real positions giving their takes on the good w/ the bad. "Knowledge always beats strength" is a great quote. Here, at VF, I hope to see the sharing of knowledge become our strength." more testimonials »  • Latest BDC ideas from Stock Ratings  |   BDCs -- REIT Hybrids (No new BDC stock ratings within the last 24 hours)  • Latest BDC Discussion Forum Messages  |   BDCs (78 posts) -- ACAS (51 posts) -- AINV (1 post) -- ALD (4 posts) -- ARCC (1 post) -- Gladstone (0 posts) -- KED (0 posts) -- MCGC (2 posts) -- NGPC (0 posts) -- PSEC (0 posts) -- REIT Hybrids (0 posts) Date Message Type Posted By Topic Rec May. 13, 10:06 AM AINV--monster secondary -- Apollo Investment-AINV ... mem wolfdog2 AINV 18 May. 12, 11:32 PM Re: American Capital Agency ... -- As Yield Boy su... mem sixers ACAS 8 May. 12, 11:10 PM American Capital Agency -- Like American ... mem sixers ACAS 13 May. 12, 10:37 AM another insider buy -- A director purchased 5000 s... mem Longterm10 ACAS 16 May. 11, 7:03 PM Short Interest -- Short interest at 04/30/08 was 3... mem sixers ACAS 25 May. 11, 09:51 AM American Capital Agency -- NASDAQ lists AGNC as ex... mem sixers ACAS 12 May. 10, 3:47 PM Rates of Return During "Bad" Cycles -- I... mem kansasnoall BDCs 14 May. 9, 6:02 PM Malon is Buying More Shares. -- http://secfilings.... mem sixers ACAS 20 May. 9, 3:34 PM TICC -- I added to my TICC at these levels.
