Can't remember the question about Annaly Capital Management (NLY) but someone asked about a declining dividend... and what to look out for etc.

I did some explanation...

But here's what I want people to look at -- for themselves -- because for EACH PERSON they need to know what they're into -- and why they bought what they did - and how they intend to fit that into their individual portfolios.

Go back and look at a 5 year chart of NLY --- and you'll see a pretty flat chart - with some "wild" swings -- lots of squiggles! But look closer and you'll see that it's a pretty mild move of a buck or two... except in '08 (EVERYTHING WENT DOWN THEN!)... so for me... it's a pretty good place to park cash.

That's why I want you guys to really LOOK at these charts -- because you'll start to see "more" than just a line. It's like doing a tune up -- after you've done a bunch -- you pay more attention to smaller things... You'll also notice that the dividend is all over the place...
