Q: Hello 5i Team

Are US "mortgage reits" similar to Canadian Mortgage Investment Corporations?

Could you please provide a few ideas of US mortgage reits for me to research?

These would be held in an US$ RRSP, to minimize any tax considerations.

Would the distributions be similar to US corporate dividends and not US MLP distributions (K-1 tax form) which are problematic to hold in RRSP accounts?

Thank you

Q: What are your thoughts about this as a US/CDN high yield income portfolio? Any ideas would be appreciated. Please take as many credits as needed.

Q: Hi

Last Q on agnc was February…. Lots has changed since then including the share price

I just read an article on SeekingAlpha that suggests now is a better ( but not totally risk free) time to buy it.

BTW 5i is still my favourite source of info. Significantly so!

So I would appreciate your input on AGNC before going after that 15.7% dividend….
especially if it leads to falling off a cliff.

Or moving onto to another high yield but safer investment

Thanks in advance for your guidance.

Q: I see the value of that stock always going down. I would have thought that they would benefit from a lower yield like the REITs, but it doesn't seem to be the case. Could you give me your opinion on this stock and what could happen to it if the Fed continue to lower the yield? Should I continue to hold expecting an improvement or accept a big loss and sell it now?

Thanks
