  2. You are missing the point: you should keep your price above the water and you are getting 17% annual in my case.
     
  3. 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.

    I was using the website's non-inflation adjusted returns.
     
  8. 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 :(
     
  9. 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.
