Dwindling Cash And Risky Bets - New York Mortgage Trust May Roll Craps [View article]
The author is short - he wrote two articles designed to make you think short too - lots of commentors here are not short, and wrote no articles. I'll bet he made money on his posts.
Dwindling Cash And Risky Bets - New York Mortgage Trust May Roll Craps [View article]
Wow, these are the best comments ever!
Quite a range of opinions on a range of subjects.
I have just started watching this stock, but I might take a starter position of 100 shares tomorrow. I like the financials and I like the dividend. 100 shares is not to much to risk, IMHO.
BTW, the day his articles came out were two of the three heaviest volume days of this quarter, and both occurred after a fairly significant run-up in stock price.
And, he did indicate he was short, right at the beginning of both articles.
So, he probably made some money based on that.
It was fairly apparent to me he was hoping (trying?) to drive the price down so he could profit. Not saying that's good or bad, I'm just sayin'...
AMTG had an all time high of 23.59 on 9/21/12 and a new 3 month high of 23.11 on 2/1.
AMTG had an 18 month low of $14.02 in November of 2011 after it's IPO @ $19 in July of that same year. It hit a 1 year low of $17.60 on 4/23/12, a 9 month low of $18.05 on 11/15/12, and a 3 month low of $19.74 on 12/31/12.
Net gain of $1,259.06 in dividends paid on 10/31/12 and 1/31/13 http://bit.ly/YPGrJq
Like I said, I'm just getting back in, and although not currently a buy today on the daily charts, it just signalled a buy on the weekly charts. It just needs confirmation, IMHO.
I only have 100 shares right now, held since 3/5 @ $22.61. I am currently down about -$.41 per share or -1.81%.

in my own way, i was trying to point that out, but you more clearly expressed it.
if you apply some words of wisdom to these or any numbers, you can reasonably discern that they are in fact true at one time or another. Something about past performance and future results. I merely posted what those other sites were saying now. They change, daily or more frequently.
you went much further in that you actually did some due diligence, and some math, and produced a good piece. you opined about what will be, and based it on a very thorough analysis.

except annualized return fell under 30%, concurrent with recent price action (decline). 30% annualized returns, which is one of my minimums, needs to be maintained or I cut it because it's a loser.

I haven't figured that out yet. Too busy recovering from some disastrous options auto-trading 'services'. Butt, the good news is the spreadsheet should start to show this. Check out my tradelogs under real results. Download the spreadsheet, and you can see how well I've been doing. I just got rid of a bunch of losers (ARR, FSC, GLAD, TICC, TCRD, IVR, TWO, etc.) so I'm down a bit but still profitable. Even started to add back some TWO and taking a nibble on EFC.

I target dividend stocks that have a current yield of 8% or better, as well as an annualized return of 30% or better, in my initial screening. Then, weekly performance reviews help keep the targets in sight. Maybe this blog post will help you: http://bit.ly/XDHb0P

I think snefix earned his dollar. The only reason Bernie Madoff is in jail is because he robbed the rich. The bankers that rob the poor have apparent immunity, but I digress. I have been looking at KCAP again, and have owned some in the past. Check out my other comment here.
BTW, I have a blog where I write about my portfolio.
I target a minimum 30% annual return on stock price *and* a minimum 8% dividend yield.
I can’t always hit that, but those are my targets.
There's no tax-related selling in Newcastle Investment (NCT +2.3%), which hangs near a 52-week high after being initiated a Buy with $10 price target at UBS. Shares +84.7% YTD, along with a 10.2% yield. They call that a home run in the business. [View news story]
OIC, change the story without explanation;

I'll try on 100 shares and see how they fit.

sharebuilder is easy; i let the AIP make the investments, but I choose what to invest in, and sales are whenever prudent, or as prudent as possible.
fidelity is a bit different, and so is optionsXpress.
all trade fees from the account are listed on the first page (and each individual page) of my tradelogs spreadsheet.
so, short answer; sometimes i trade a lot, other times not.
longer answer requires examining stock performance, etc. combined with upcoming and past ex-dividend dates, news, and market action at a minimum.
i tend to cut the losers, and ride the winners whenever possible.
i don't do much options trading nowadays, those auto-trading 'services' really devastated my accounts.
