Last time they preannounced the dividend (with no cut) BEFORE the SPO. This time the SPO precedes the dividend announcement by a few weeks, which makes me think there may be a cut. IMHO
Taymere,
I'm with you. I heard Gary all but promised the $1.25 going forward.
GL2UA and go AGNC and MTGE.

Sentiment: Strong Buy
Think about it, if AGNC board intends to keep the $1.25 dividend, why not announce that at the same time as the SPO? It would certainly make the SPO much more acceptable to the market. Again, just my opinion.
Sentiment: Buy
It will be $1.25, GK practically promised that during the 4q12 ER conference call. Of course until it's officially declared by the board it's not officially declared, but listen to GK and you'll feel more comfortable expecting $1.25.
Tay, I was probably one of the biggest believers in the dividend getting cut. But from what GK indicated, I think I'd now be legitimately ticked if they did cut it! :o) I'm in for 2K at 31.49 basis. GL
Sentiment: Buy
The dividend will stay at 1.25
If earnings fall below divvy they have reserves to help the payout. Very well run company.
Dont cry now, everybody on this site say that they are OK with one dollar divy.
AGNC wouln't have offered SPO with a dividend cut.
Will be biggest screw job coming if that occurs.
Coincidence SPO offered after Bernanke's speech?
