Agency mbs was down sharply today yet mtge rallied. My thoughts are that if mbs rallies back next week mtge will go up pretty fast given the support for the stock.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Add me to real ID. koallium #1177.
I run a lot of rbgs and oqueue bgs with a stellar win loss record.
I will wait to short at $26 for mitt. Probably short 2500 shares of mitt at $26.
We were fine before QE infinity and we will be fine after QE infinity. Fed funds will stay at 0 until 2016 IMO. Then it goes up 0.50.
Q1 book to share price (premium/discount)... Mtge is much cheaper and had a smaller loss.
These shares get snapped up and we trade $25+ again. Market in general is getting heated and value disappearing rapidly from everywhere. Mtge is cheap today, probably won't be 1 week from now or less.
NAV rose today yet prices down on mtge and agnc. Lol!!!
Agencies actually rallied today, NAV rose today... Lol! Thus far anyways.

Bud, I bought 200 contracts yesterday, and 30 more today. I have a total of 230 contracts for the $25 strike. Expire in December. I also own 21,500 shares. I have a bunch of a money at risk in MTGE and I have no regrets. The cost average on the calls is 0.493696. I am playing the dividend run up and I believe MTGE will see $26+ again soon.
Long 21,500 shares and 230 $25 calls for dec.
talking about mtge
Bought 200 $25 call options for december 2013 @ 0.493. That was in addition to my 21,500 shares I already own.
Bought the rest at 0.50.. So cost average just shy now of 0.50 at 0.493. 200 contracts.
I think so, given the feds active buying and housing sector improvements book should stabilize and move higher by year end. and thanks AV. I think I'm up to 128 calls now. Hopefully I'll complete at 0.45 and have 200 cost average 0.475.
Bought 100 dec $25 calls @ 0.50. Going to buy 100 more at 0.45 if I can.
Wider spreads. Book value is near $24, but spreads are going wider and that means margins improve the longer we stay here in agency mbs pricing. The fed is not going anywhere for a long time. Interest rates factoring in a 50 bp move in short rates in 2016. So what. Even that could change the other way if the us economy doesn't improve as quick, not to mention higher rates on the long side hurt economic recovery. Look what the fed has to do to keep the economy afloat! Buying 85b a month of treasury and mbs!! And people are worried about rising rates with all that going on and the fed trying to push even rates lower???
