  • Billionaire Glenn Dubin’s Small Cap Picks

    By Meena Krishnamsetty - April 12, 2013 | Tickers: CTRP, SATS, PMT, SEIC, URI

    The most popular small cap stocks (defined as those with market capitalization between $1 billion and $5 billion) among hedge funds outperform the S&P 500 by 18 percentage points per year on average. We think that this is because small cap stocks receive less attention from the financial media and institutional investors such as mutual funds.

    Hedge funds are, therefore, more likely to uncover an undervalued or overvalued stock more »

  • Weakened Mortgage Market Activity Creating Benefits For mREITs

    By Adnan Khan - April 5, 2013 | Tickers: AGNC, NLY, ARR, NCT, PMT

    Compared to the fourth quarter of the prior year, mortgage activity has weakened during the first quarter of the current year. Overall, mortgage applications plunged 8% over the linked quarter and 3% over the prior year. This decline in the Market Composite Index is largely due to an 11% decline in the refinance application volumes, partially offset by a 10% improvement in the purchase volumes compared with the fourth quarter more »

  • A Few More REITs for Your IRA

    By Ryan Peckyno - March 5, 2013 | Tickers: CMO, DX, IVR, PMT

    A few weeks ago I wrote an article, Two REITs for Your IRA. 

    That article explains how REITs work and why you should consider investing in REITs.

    Since penning that article, I have done a lot of research on REITs.  And after starting with well over 100 REITs, I narrowed that list down to ten.

    Then I selected four of those to use in this article.

    Those four REITs are more »

    By Damon Judd - February 5, 2013 | Tickers: ELLI, PMT, STC

    A month into 2013, it is becoming apparent that the housing recovery is real and likely to continue.  According to a recent Forbes article, the Case Shiller home price index shows prices are up over last year, growing at the fastest pace year over year since mid-2006.   Home prices rose 4.5% for the 10-City Composite and 5.5% for the 20-City Composite in the 12 months ending in November more »

  • 2013 Outlook For Non-Agency REITs

    By Adnan Khan - January 2, 2013 | Tickers: IVR, NCT, PMT, TWO

    With the available returns lower on Agency mortgage backed securities, I expect 2013 to be a year where the mortgage REITs look to expand their investment opportunity sets. The return environment in 2012 remained very attractive for non-Agency MBS. I remain constructive on the sector because the strong demand from investors in search of yield given ultra low rates, continued improvement in the underlying fundamental performance. Assuming leverage remains consistent more »

  • QE4 & the Mortgage REIT for 2013

    By Mohsin Saeed - December 24, 2012 | Tickers: AGNC, NLY, ARR-A, ARR, BAC, PMT, WFC

    QE4 is here to replace Operation Twist and Ben Bernanke has promised an extended easing at a rate of $85 billion a month. The easing is here to stay until the US unemployment rate, which is currently at 7.7%, falls below 6.5%. The new buying program will be purely of Treasury purchases, unlike QE3.

    It is widely anticipated that the new easing will add more accommodation to the more »

  • How to Capitalize on the Mortgage Market

    By Mohsin Saeed - December 13, 2012 | Tickers: AGNC, NLY, ARR-A, CMO, MFA, PMT

    To stimulate growth in the sluggish US economy, the Fed announced the launch of QE3. QE3 was aimed at particularly supporting the US housing and labor markets. However, the US labor market is still not close to the kind of improvement imagined by the Fed. I believe QE3 will stay even if the financial cliff is averted. Given the situation, I recommend investors stay away from pure play Agency Mortgage more »

  • Avoid Mortgage REITs During QE3

    By Shas Dey - November 16, 2012 | Tickers: AGNC, NLY, IVR, NCT, PMT

    The third round of quantitative easing through which the Federal Reserve will purchase agency mortgage-backed securities, although considered a stimulus for the slowing economy, will have a negative impact on certain Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). REITs that invest exclusively in agency mortgage- backed securities (MBS) will be the ones that take the worst hit.

    However, before we proceed, we should know a little more about REITs.

  • How to play mREITs?

    By Piyush Arora - September 9, 2012 | Tickers: NLY, CIM, PMT, TWO

    Ben Bernanke recently cheered the market when it was announced that the interest rates in the US would be kept low. The businesses that cheered the most were market liquidity dependent. By keeping the low interest rate environment, the liquidity in the market would allow businesses like mREITs to prosper, and hopefully bring the industry back to its full health.

  • Is Chimera the Best Value in mREITs Today?

    By Bill Edson - August 21, 2012 | Tickers: AGNC, NLY, CIM, PMT

    Chimera (NYSE: CIM) may just be the best bargain in the mortgage real estate investment trust (mREIT) sector. It may also be the biggest risk, because its dividends and share price are modest when compared to more traditional mREITs.

    The company is currently paying a regular quarterly dividend of 9¢ per share. Yet it was trading at a price of $2.37 per share on Aug. 9. The high dividend more »
