You are missing the point: you should keep your price above the water and you are getting 17% annual in my case.
Oh, come on, you got 17% every year. So far we did not have such high %% inflation per year. Therefore, investing in bonds would give you almost nothing, just put in money market
I haven't a clue what you are talking about. AGNC current dividend is $1.44 per year; Current price $9.63; that means 1.44 / 9.63 = 14.95% per year dividend, not 17% On 01-02-2020 AGNC price was $17.78. So assuming you bought at $17.78, your current dividend yield on your holdings is 1.44 / 17.78 = 8.1% And that's doesn't even include the 46% (i.e. ( 17.78 - 9.63 ) / 17.78) decline in stock price since you bought AGNC in 2020.
According to the website I posted his overall return adjusted for inflation from 2020 is -13.74% Which is pretty good on ET.
If you would read my post fully, you would get how it was calculated. My average stock price is $8.31. On 2020 AGNC price was $6.25 too. I was selling and buying it to have price below average. On 2020 at some point I had $12 average price an since then I was playing to make it lower. So my total investment was below $100k. That is why I have 17.33% because my price is $8.31. I appreciate your criticism. Good points will help me to improve. The main problem if you invest in stock which will shrink your dividends
If you young boy you can risk with your money. I’m old enough and proud myself to have strategy get 17% and lowered my risk to ZERO. Besides, it is only one of my strategy. Some people more than happy to have 6% of their investment. If you soooo good, if I give you $$$$$$ would you have my return 6% and my money will return to me soon and I will continue to have 6% of divs forever.
