[quote=AN]AGNC today just closed at $31.48. So, it’s up ~3% over the last month and a half and on top of that, they just paid out $1.25/share in dividend on 12/24. So that’s another 4% (if you’re comparing to the $30.50 price, which was where it was in late november). I bought some at $29, so, between dividend and stock price rising, it’s up ~13% over the last two months. Not too shabby for 2 months. They’re still paying out about 16% of dividend so far.[/quote]
You know, if this was one of my buckets of investment. Whatever the money I had in that bucket, I’d take it offline and park it for the rest of the year. 13% beats your 3.75% mortgage +/- .50% Good enough for the rest of the year….
