HT Ganzo/iStock via Getty Images The U.S. and Iran are negotiating a three-page plan to end hostilities in the Middle East, with discussions centered on releasing $20B in frozen Iranian funds in exchange for Iran surrendering its stockpile of enriched uranium ( URA ), Axios reported Friday, citing two U.S. officials and two more sources briefed on the talks. President Donald Trump said Thursday that negotiators would likely meet this weekend for a second round of talks—expected to take place in Islamabad on Sunday—on extending a fragile ceasefire and potentially bringing an end to the war. Pakistan is mediating the negotiations, with support from Egypt and Turkey, a source familiar with the matter told Axios. A top priority for the Trump administration is ensuring Iran cannot access its nearly 2,000 kilograms of enriched uranium, particularly the 450 kilograms enriched to 60% purity. The Iranians, meanwhile, need money. The media report noted the U.S. was initially ready to release $6B for humanitarian supplies, while Iran demanded $27B. The memorandum of understanding also includes a voluntary moratorium on nuclear enrichment. The U.S. demanded a 20-year moratorium, while Iran countered with five years. Mediators are working to close the gap. “Iran has moved. But not far enough,” one U.S. official said, Axios reported.

Michail_Petrov-96/iStock via Getty Images Main Street Capital Overview Main Street Capital ( MAIN ) is, arguably, considered one of the best "sleep-well-at-night" BDCs in the entire sector. MAIN has a powerful offering that it can bring to the table for durable income (and NAV) investors: The highest base dividend coverage level in the sector , conservative balance sheet, exposure to lower middle market segment (better risk-adjusted loan investment opportunities than in the core or upper segments), high-quality equity co-investment book, and so on (namely, robust fundamentals). Exceptional track record of raising (or maintaining) its monthly dividend for ~19 consecutive years since its IPO and delivering very strong total returns; just take a look at the chart below to see how MAIN has performed compared to the S&P 500 ( SPY ). YCharts Because of these elements and the fact that MAIN is an internally managed BDC (no incentive and base management fees), it is only logical that MAIN trades at a premium to the sector. However, MAIN's YTD performance has probably surprised its investors to the downside. MAIN is down ~12%, which is ~300 basis points below the sector index ( BIZD ). Similarly, just recently MAIN issued guidance for Q1 results, which instantly triggered a ~7% share price decline. Plus, from my recent analysis of the BDC short positions, it is evident that MAIN is among the most shorted players in the sector (i.e., ~7.5% short interest). In the meantime, MAIN continues to trade at the highest P/NAV multiple (1.6x), which is meaningfully above the sector average of 0.76x. So, if we put these points together, the logical question becomes whether we are at the early inning of a significant mean-reversion: meaning MAIN becoming valued closer to at least its internally managed peers (at around P/NAV 1.2x). In my previous piece on MAIN, I commented that the BDC is in an overvalued bubble zone, which will most likely result in a negative alpha performance (underpe...
