    In just the week since QE∞ was announced, the spread between agency MBS and 10-year Treasurys has collapsed from 60 to just 6 bps. With no spread there, look for non-agency MBS - already in rally mode as house prices recover - to continue to benefit, says BAML's Chris Flanagan. Non-agency or hybrid mortgage REITs: CIM, MFA, IVR, WMC.

    We need to inform the contributor of this article, Mr. Flanagan that 70% of MFA's holdings are in agency mortgages. You need to do better research for your stories. CIM and IVR are also weighted more into agency mortgages.

    CIM has released any statements of value or a breakdown of their holdings in almost a year so you are either clairvoyant or you have some inside data or are just basing your statement on old outdated info.

    False, they are restating past filings. None of which restatements are material, according to the company. In other words they are truing them up--while this does not imbue confidence in their lawyers, accountants, or the company, it is not as bad as you suggest.

    cim looks dim for future, I see delisting in new year. Too many reporting problems, tells you what are they hiding. But who knows, there will be a surprise one way or the other
