Great dividend and with Buffet's purchase of Burlington Northern, it looks like the prospects for coal are expected to be good.

Mortgage REIT that invests in agency securities backed by a U.S Gvt Agency (such as GNMA) or a U.S. Government-sponsored entity (such as the Federal National Mortgage Association, or FNMA, and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, or FHLMC). As long as interest rates for borrowing remain low, this will be a terrific dividend yield.

AGNC is the another creation brought to us by the same management who "over-levered" ACAS in making commercial business loans. While AGNC is based on the same concept as NLY (a real bluechip) this yield on a dividend of $5.60 is scary.
Like NLY for staying power and outstanding long term management.

The company almost can't lose on the short run. Borrowing at the low interest rates and reinvesting the money in higher. The business is going to go well as long as interest rates are lower. I'll be interested to see what happens when rates climb again.

The high dividend worries me, however. The dividend is worth more than cash per share in the past quarters. I am anxiously awaiting the 4th quarter info.

Good pick for the not to distant horizon. I own it myself. I picked it up before the dividend bubble flew in and popped the numbers. Good Buy.

The real estate market has nowhere to go but up, and given how challenging it is to to get a loan unless you have excellent credit, REITs should see solid performance.

American Capital Agency sounds like a financial....hmmm it is! Not only that its a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) that was founded in 2008....the height of the bubble! So what's up with the 52 week high stock price? American Capital Agency invests in pass-through securities and mortgages whose principal and interest payments are guaranteed by a U.S. Government agency or a U.S. Government sponsored entity. While the rapidly climbing debt could spell trouble if not managed carefully, it is used to purchase even more secured/guaranteed loans. American Capital is growing rapidly. It's hard to trust data such as margins on an REIT, but it's sporting 88% margins and a qtr/qtr growth rate of 452%. Dividends, while not guaranteed, and hard to determine on such a short track record are on track for 20%. Given some appreciation and modest S&P growth, American Capital has the makings of a CAPS winner.

The steep yield curve will ensure good earnings for the coming year and it has an incredible dividend. It sells as a significant discount to the yields and the p/e of its competitors, NLY and HTS.

Real Estate is down in most States, opportunities are tremendous for companies like AGNC, good management team is of the essence in such an environment, attractive dividends will bring in more investors, making the stock a buy on various rating scales.
