It seems to me that the new stock issue is not dilutive to current stockholders. If the company is going to use the proceeds of the new stock sale to purchase mbs and then proceed to do the usual leveraging to produce profits for stockholders,then the new capital will produce its own profit without diluting the profits of the current stockholders. It would stress the confidence that management has in their business model going forward,specially after listening to mr. Bernanke earlier today.
