Focusing On Lower Risk Shares (And Updated Charts For High-Yield Stocks)
Market volatility has increased, making it challenging to predict future Treasury rates and impacting the frequency of my article publications. Price-to-book ratios reveal bargains. Preferred shares offer lower risk and high yields; recent trades in DX-C and EFC-B have been profitable.

CIMN: Performed As Expected, Still A Buy
CIMN, a senior unsecured note from Chimera, experienced a -4% drawdown, outperforming the company's preferred equity and other mREIT bonds during recent market turmoil. Its performance aligned with expectations based on BB high-yield spreads, demonstrating its resilience and predictable behavior in volatile markets. Despite being rated BBB by Egan-Jones, CIMN trades as high-yield debt, with a 9% coupon reflecting market perception.

Chimera Preferreds: Preferred Stocks Are A Buy Again
I advised investing in preferred stocks and baby bonds in mid-2022, predicting the Fed's rate hikes and subsequent cuts, resulting in significant returns. Preferred stocks have dropped recently due to inflation fears and panic selling, creating opportunities to buy high-yielding securities at discounted prices. I'm adding to my holdings in preferred stocks like CIM-PC and CIM-PD, anticipating future gains as valuations return to par.

Floating Preferreds Have Monstrous Yields Due To Timing Phenomenon
Floating rate preferreds, initially created in a zero interest rate environment, now yield around 10% due to the timing phenomenon and changes in interest rates. Key factors for analysis include company stability, size of preferred issue relative to common equity, discount/premium to par value, and adjustment above SOFR. Risks include rapid yield curve fluctuations and potential Fed rate cuts, which could lower SOFR and subsequently reduce yields on floating rate preferreds.

The 10.5% Yield Of The Preferred Stock Of Chimera Is Attractive In This Painful Market
Chimera's preferred stock offers a 10.5% yield, outperforming the S&P 500 with a 43% total return over two years, despite economic headwinds. The stock's floating yield provides some inflation protection, but economic risks like potential recession and rising interest rates pose challenges. Chimera's preferred dividend has a wide margin of safety, supported by a 56% payout ratio and a strong loan-to-value ratio of 43%.

Let's Talk Mortgage REITs (But Not For Too Long)
A bunch of mortgage REITs were severely overvalued. Now they are less overvalued. But some others are actually bargains. Tons of charts because images are fun. Ellington Financial's higher price-to-book ratio may be due to lower volatility in the total economic return by period. Digital Realty Trust deserves to be mocked. I am reporting for duty!
