Was not aware that Rogers had same view.

I'd like to see Faber's reasoning. Gold may well have bottomed, but the USD is likely to go up and gold must go up in terms of USD, which I think is unlikely. The US dollar is not the currency in which to hold paper gold at the moment, IMO.

Annaly is definitely something to consider.

This is setting up as a replay of 2008, except with European banks and sovereigns playing the subprime role.

I'm looking at the USD (UUP) making new short-term highs, and setting up a channel for even higher gains..

Here's the DXY 5 year chart:

Then the UUP 5 year chart.

And then I'm comparing it to the 5 year GLD chart.

There is a strong chance that the DXY may hit 90 in coming months. Which means that we have to watch the price of GLD for any buying opportunity.

I have bought and sold AGNC, NLY, CMO, and CIM in the past among the MREITS. Right now I only hold CIM, which I bought over the last few days.

Here is my opinion on CIM. The basic premise that it's a play on a housing bottoming/recovery in the US. But it's risky and has issues:

CIM yields 15.3% as of its closing price yesterday.
