Fifth Street Finance has a yield of about 10% with positive EPS of .97 and a average P/E ratio of 13.24. FSC has been on a steady climb higher over the last year as a mid market loan provider and were recently featured in Investors Business Daily.

Medallion Financial – TAXI
Medallion Financial has an interesting looking chart. Its been stuck on 8 for a while so with the right trigger it could jump off that $8 base and move higher. The yield is 7.5% but the EPS and PE numbers don’t look that hot to me. This one may just be good for a trade.

Safe Bulkers – SB

Cherokee – CHKE
Cherokee has solid earnings, price to earnings ratio and a annual dividend of 1.52 per year giving it a yield of 7.3%. This stock is lightly traded at only about 50k shares per day so be careful if you are in it for a quick dividend trade.
