Just last week, one of those Fools, All-Star fearandgreed2005, tapped MTGE as a particularly attractive income opportunity:
Stock already beaten down in anticipation of rising interest rates. Huge [dividend yield] of 17% and capital appreciation after rates stabilize will cause stock to outperform. Rising long term rates and low short term rates will be positive for earnings. Solid management team will be able to steer the company through the present short-term turmoil.
