IF we had a dividend cut...would you stay?
say a $.15 per share cut.
Sentiment: Strong Buy

I would stay simply because the dividend IF cut, would not be cut enough to chase people away to another reit and to make the change worthwile. One can't really gauge this scenario properly however, in advance, simply because its a scenario that could occur sometime in the future or it just might not happen in the short term of two or three years.

It seems that everyone here expects a cut. And; the SP is backing off, so I guess the mkt expects one also. Interesting.
Sentiment: Buy

They have already said the current div is safe for 2013...at least that is my understanding...so why do you folks want to see a cut? Why can we not leave well enough alone?
Sentiment: Hold

"Why can't we leave well enough alone" would be to stop bringing 2wk. old posts to the top. :)

If I could find a better dividend paying stock I would switch but that would be the case whether they lowered the dividend or not. So the answer is yes, I would stay.

waiting for the cut to get BACK in.

Even if it goes down to 1.00 per quarter it's still over a 12% annual dividend. I'm in unless it goes below 10%. IMO the rate will remain at 1.25.
Good luck to all!Sentiment: Buy

the problem here is this: as of 30 seconds ago, teh market was demanding a 15.57% annual dividend to hold AGNC stock. if that is a constant, and the dividend is cut to say $4, the price will tank to between 25 and 26. even if your scenario of 12% comes to pass, the price would not move, provided everybody else is willing to take 12%.
based on current price, they are not. do not forget the opinion poll called Last.

Maybe you should re-phrase that into who isn't expecting a dividend cut?
It seems just about everyone is expecting a cut.
I'm going with $1.00 for the next dividend.- 2 Replies to xxavatarxx
