>> In regard to the tax thing, if you hold AGNC for more than a year, are the dividends taxed at 15% or as regular income?

You are mixing two concepts. Holding period plays no role in taxation of dividends.

Dividends from income of RIC's are 100% taxable. (RIC's can distribute in excess of income, and those distributions are return of capital and are NOT taxable.)

Holding period (over one year for LTCG) is relevant for the taxation of the capital gain or loss from selling capital assets.
