Wall Street is a joke at this point. If you had invested money in 1999, almost ten years ago, you would be waaaaayyyyy down in most index funds. TEN YEARS.

I don't want to hear about long term investing trends either. Gold and real

It's an economic Jihad and we (The USA and allies) are being attacked, Don't buy gold, buy food and water. You'll need it, you cannot eat or drink gold. The pension funds are being stolen away and the whole economic structure of western countries is

2011: The Year Chimera Prepared for Carnage

18.05.12

Data from Morningstar, S&P Capital IQ, and Motley Fool CAPS.

What happened at Chimera this year?
What a difference a year makes. Chimera's stock didn't have a three-peat banner year after the 20%-plus gains of 2009 and 2010. But investors don't buy mortgage REITs for stock appreciation -- they're after yields. Chimera's payouts partially compensated for its stock decline, though quarterly payouts have fallen from $0.17 to $0.11 since last December, largely because of big losses on investments.

But on the whole, residential mortgage REITs like Chimera have hit a bonanza over the past few years. As the Federal Reserve lowered overnight interest rates to nearly 0% to support the struggling economy, Chimera's cost of borrowing has held much lower than it otherwise would have, pushing up its interest-rate spread -- the difference between the interest rate it collects and the rate it borrows -- to a whopping 4.9% as of last quarter. The interest-rate tailwind was the key reason I purchased shares of the stock for the real-money publicly facing Dada Portfolio that I co-manage.
