I just like this for a dividend play, and growth combined. Might be picked up by a richer company.

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.

I'm not sure thats completely true. When Buffett was smaller (his hedge fund

days in the

late 50s and early 60s) he primarily made his money from merger arbitrage and

relative

value arbitrage. Even when he played with slush money in his personal account he

would buy penny stock REITs that were liquidating where there was a definite arb

between their stock price and their liquidation value. At heart he was a

Graham-ite. When he made the

statement that Bambam refers to I tihnk he was primarily referring to merger

arbitrage

techniques.

---------------

But Buffett doesn't agree with pure Graham theory anymore, and arbitraging was a

more

profitable enterprise a half century ago, so its highly unlikely he'd be

successful at it

with only $1million to invest in such an endeavor. More important, the tools

necessary to

consistently succeed as such things are likely beyond the cost of an individual

with

$1million to invest. If, however, you could spend millions to make your

$1million grow,

perhaps that would be a possibility.

Buffett actually pulled the "arb between their stock price and their liquidation

value"

strategy just recently with CDCO
