Just yesterday, one of those Fools, sdffd, succinctly summed up the Triangle bull case for our community:
I love the dividend and it's a well managed company with a [return on equity] of [15%]. This is like a private equity ETF. You can go to their website and look at all of the companies that they own. Their holdings are well diversified and they have a ton of cash.
