Annaly Capital Management, Inc. (NLY)

Annaly has been a very profitable and comfortable stock to own. I purchased it about 2 years ago and have been adding to my position during this period. It has paid dividends exceeding 12% and the price has fluctuated from a low of about 12 to a high of about 20. I have been writing calls against my position -- usually calls one month out at the nearest exercise price above the then current price. On top of the wonderful dividend, the covered call strategy has provided an additional 1.5-3% per month. I will take this all day long.

Divvy and divvy alone! Otherwise, I'm still wary of anything attached to mortgages for the next 4 years. Purely speculative here.

IT IS SUCH A GREAT STEADY STOCK.FANTASTIC INCOME AND GOO,STEADY GROWTH.A GREAT COMBINATION.FOR THE NEXT 12-18 MONTHS I WANT MY MONEY HERE

Jim Cramer gives it a thumb down which means this one is going out of the roof.

Great dividend payer. Invest in MBS that are AAA rated and guarenteed by Fannie and Freddie. Borrow short to invest long. Very well hedged.

Company is well managed.

Best in the space, backed by the fed and good dividend

paying out huge dividends

It appears that NLY's management is very aggressive and is aware of the underlying risks in their sector. Management had some luck with their strategic plan and the timing has worked in their favor.

It appears that Annaly is positioned to take advantage of their market moving forward as it has bottomed or will bottom in the 2nd or 3rd quarter of 2010. Eventually interest rates will rise but Annaly appears to be well positioned for this over the next fews years. My money is on Annaly between $17 and $17.50 for a sheltered high yield over the next 3 to 4 years.

Never keep your eye off the ball as even the most experienced of advisors miss the train........Even KRAMER on Mad Money has picked some real "DOGS".

NLY will continue to enjoy strong earnings as long as the Fed keeps interest rates under 1%. Since we are in a long term bear market couple with a deflationary to neutral economy it is likely that rates will not rise much thru 2010. NLY also has other income sources coupled to government loan restructuring programs. This will help it to maintain revenue better than HTS.

Not too much increase overall although it makes interest income on Mortgage-Backed Securities. HIGH dividend that seems to continually increase quarter to quarter, near ZERO debt, tons of cashflow.

Grant's interest rate letter

Div. alone will bring much interest~

The very best REIT in the Mortgage underwriting area. Survived the financial bust. Highest dividend return. Has been able to anticipate the yield curve turns better than their competition. They will undoubtedly be hurt by by sharp interest rate increases which are sure to come, but stock price should rise to 20 before that happens.

Annaly will continue to outperform in 2009 and 2010 as short term borrowing rates should remain low. Just keep an eye on the yield curve with mortgage REITs like this. Get out if it starts to flatten.

Great dividend . . .solid company.

mortgages are 100%government backed

Strong business model, healthy cash flow. Current yeild is obscene, but sustainable. Also looking to write covered calls on this pick
