Recs
very low P/B and P/E. They invest in corporate debt on a leveraged basis. They also manage AGNC and MTGE (total 11B market cap) and manage some private equity funds (total ~2B) and collect management fees from that. They also have a huge tax loss carryover.They got burned really badly during the 2008 liquidity crisis and ever since then it's been trading at a major discount to book value. Too low, IMO. Ben's got my back. His hands are tied by the Taylor rule, which says that he can't raise rates unless inflation rises or unemployment goes down. Neither is likely to happen much, because of automation and Moore's law.
I may be missing something obvious here, but I have been trying to understand the correlation between Moore's law (about transistors per square inch) and inflation/unemployment.
