I don't know of a good way to do that though unless you consider something ike an American Capital Strategies (acas-nyse) that does mezzanine financing to small businesses. I have a VERY small leftover position in it from the crash.

I have become disenchanted with being a public shareholder due to incredibly weak corporate governance. Sheesh, shareholders cannot even put up their own slates for board elections. Still, the sector as a whole may rally.<br Benjamin Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14001038338873263877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6616959642391988608.post-35275133938528179262010-04-02T10:10:05.377-07:002010-04-02T10:10:05.377-07:00Didn't take long for "O" to take cre...Didn't take long for "O" to take credit for it...Cabodoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08299113185481067179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6616959642391988608.post-60023096562810099712010-04-02T09:21:08.074-07:002010-04-02T09:21:08.074-07:00Benj, In my book that's a pretty good assesmen...Benj, In my book that's a pretty good assesment. <br /><br />The lone exception, there were some decent markets during the period between 2003 and 2008. I had a couple of decent years in there. But it was like walking through a mine field. Something always seemed to be blowing up somewhere.
