It will under perform for a little bit because it is trading near it's target price, but I think after a small dip it will bounce back. Solid dividends will bring new buyers back

Borrows money short term from the federal government, and buys much higher-interest MBS that are backed by the federal government. The only risk is that the fed might raise short term interest rates. But they've said they won't do it till at least 2014. I think they won't do that until there's an economic recovery, in which case the rest of my portfolio would go up. This makes it a good diversification play. As long as the economy stays shitty, this will earn good returns.

It's all about the intrest rates which then drives the beefy dividend. So it looks like we have at least 2 years of high returns.

This stock is normally a sideways stock. It will outperform the market for one more year (dividends included) and then it's down hill in the second part of 2013. But if you miss the boat now, know that you are going to be buy on the way up!

Recet announement by the Fed that they will keep interest rates low through 2014 might result in AGNC outpeformaning the broader market.

Yield is compelling and with the likelihood of more volatility in 2012, folks are going to stick to steady income.

I own some. I have a limit order to sell it all once it rises enough to cover the cost of the sale. I made my money already on the dividend, and I do not like the balance sheets. I think the dividend will continue to 2013, but the long-term viability of this company is, in my amateur opinion, suspect.

Seems to me that AGNC is rock solid in the short term - 1-1 1/2 years. It's just been $GREAT$ with their dividends. Hope rates stay the same for a while.

Interest rates will move up in 2 years, the stock will start heading the other way before that. long term call.
