Current Yield: 11.64%, pays monthly
Last Dividend Increase: January, where it went up from $.0675 to $0.075
1 Year Performance: up 18.39%
P/E Ratio: around 2.5

The fund primarily invests in securitization vehicles which in turn invest in senior secured loans made to companies whose debt is rated below investment grade or is unrated. Oxford Lane Capital Corp was formed on June 9, 2010 and is domiciled in the United States.

You need like a 100,000 in this one to make any money    What is .07 cents going to do with a fund that trades in a $1 trading range? And this will get hit hard when interest rates rise. Just saying. 

And the stock can go up .50 cents and you have a 25% return because it's so cheap. Like I said you need to invest a lot of money here to get a gain.

I respectfully disagree with, well, everything you wrote.
1. It pays an impressive yield.  In fact, it is my top source of dividends. 
2. It has held its ground with the rate increase concerns.  It is the REITs that have suffered, not this type of CEF.
3. For at least this year, I still recommend a purchase every time it dips under $7.50, and you should keep your investment principal and enjoy the dividend.  Will it cross over $8/share and stay there?  No clue.
