Advisors' Opinion:- [By BDC Buzz]
FDUS is one of the few BDCs to consistently grow its NAV on a quarterly basis over the last two years. This is because most BDCs are regulated investment companies ("RIC") required to distribute at least 90% of capital gains, dividends and interest to shareholders to avoid taxation at the corporate level and 98% of net investment income to avoid paying a 4% excise tax. Excluding American Capital (ACAS) which converted from a RIC to a Subchapter C and does not pay a dividend, only a few BDCs have been able to pay a healthy dividend while increasing value per share - as discussed in "Triangle Capital: Is It Priced For Total Return?" including Main Street Capital (MAIN) and Triangle Capital (TCAP).

Korn and Teller downgraded Mosaic to Equal Weight from Overweight, but expect CF Industries (CF), Agrium and Bunge (BG) to do well in 2014, despite no obvious catalysts.
- [By Jonas Elmerraji]
After a slow start last year, Bunge (BG) kicked it into high gear in the last six months, catching up with the S&P's performance by year-end. But if you missed the upside in this $12 billion agribusiness, never fear. The technicals indicate that Bunge has greener pastures ahead.
That's because Bunge is currently forming an ascending triangle pattern, a bullish setup formed by horizontal resistance to the upside at $83 and uptrending support below shares. Basically, as Bunge bounces in between those two technical levels, it's getting squeezed closer and closer to a breakout above resistance. When that breakout above $83 happens, we've got our buy signal.
The 50-day moving average has been acting as a solid proxy for support all the way up Bunge's rally. That makes it a logical level to keep a protective stop if you decide to be a buyer.
