Sell Annaly And AGNC Preferred Stocks And Buy Two Harbors Preferred Stocks

Summary

  • First, I revisit my last pairs trade (swap) article from 5 weeks ago, buying Cherry Hill Preferred “A” and Selling Armour Residential Preferred “C”, which had a 150% annualized return.
  • Next, I cover what I believe is another very good swap opportunity, selling AGNC and Annaly preferred stocks and buying Two Harbors preferred stocks.
  • Next, I discuss my favorite agency, mREIT preferred stock, which is Two Harbors Preferred “B” stock which currently yields 10.6% and also with the best future floating rate.
  • Lastly, I have another swap, buying Two Harbors Preferred “B” and selling ARR.PC, CHMI.PA and/or IVR.PC. IVR.PC is the closest peer to TWO.PB and TWO.PB is a much better value.
