In Barron's Roundtable from 1-22-07, he gave us his new picks and commenented:

"the fund sells at a 6% discount to net asset value. You are buying a portfolio of loans initiated by banks and then sold, in this case to BlackRock, at a 6% discount. I prefer to buy this at a 10% discount, but 6% isn't bad for a floating-rate closed-end fund.
