AGNC has in fact paid a monthly dividend that would equal a Year end Yield of 12.4%. A 100k investment would provide you with $12,400 over a 1 year period. In 5 years reinvesting the dividend you would almost double your money. After that your dividend payment would be around $24,000 in a year. Not to bad for just money making money and you doing nothing but having the guts to do it. There has never been a better time to start.
