I'm going to try something new for the Stock Of The Month: instead of a lot of blahblahblah (which usually reads remarkably similar from month to month), I'm just going to list the good and bad from Yahoo's Key Statistics page.
Annaly Capital Management (NLY)
Positives:
Huge profit and operating margins (83% and 86% respectively).
+7% spread between ROE and ROA.
Positive operating cash flow ($9B).
Trailing P/E of 13, forward P/E of 6.
Whopping 17.3% dividend yield.
Negatives:
Huge debt ($57B)...of course, debt is their business.
Low insider holding (0.55%).
Here's my current portfolio. As always, I believe in all of these stocks - until I sell them.
