On CAPS, 98% of the 89 members who have rated MTGE believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.

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.

Many investors are terrified about investing in big banking stocks after the crash, but the sector has one notable stand-out. In a sea of mismanaged and dangerous peers, it rises above as "The Only Big Bank Built to Last." You can uncover the top pick that Warren Buffett loves in The Motley Fool's new report.
