ACAS just completed a 500M securitization backed by business loans they originated. The pricing of the offering was favorable for ACAS. See following link.

From July 9th until August 1st, ACAS fell from 47 to 37 or 27%. The market overreacted to the subprime problems and threw ACAS out with the bathwater. ACAS has tight underwriting, low delinquencies, and a strong deal flow which they can cherry pick. They don't chase deals like sub prime lenders.
Since August 1st, ACAS has risen from 37 to 42, gaining 13%. Their 52 week high was just under 50. Finally, they were recently added to the S&P 500, so S&P index funds will be buying them. Much more upside here, not to mention an 8% dividend.
