Chimera Investment (CIM)

CAPS Rating:
***

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Investing in mortgages. Stock is worth a couple dollars at most. Stock is trading below its 200, 50, and 10 day averages. 10 day recently dropped below its 50 days. We aren't seeing the end of the mortgage mess, we are seeing the beginning of it. This mess started 5 years ago, it won't go away ...More

They jumped in a little to early. Proof positive even the experts arent really that smart. They blew their load in Dec 2007.
Even big stock buyers buy in little waves. I have been trying to help a customer of mine buy distressed properties in bulk.

One month ago, the banks were stating arrogantly " we arent bulk unloading of properties and dont plan to"

One week ago " So, you still have that client?"

Nice

Chimera's stock price has understandably followed the sector southward in the last few months. As of my typing this, though, there finally FINALLY seems to be light visible at the end of the tunnel for housing. CIM may bounce up and down for awhile, but I like it at this price for the mid-term, and I am investing in CIM for real this morning. I've been waiting for the technicals to come around for months, and they have.

A business model not fullly understood, so it's grouped in with the REIT's that CIM is taking advantage of by snapping up under valued assets that are over leveraged and have to be liquidated to raise capital.
