AGNC Investment Corp. is a real estate investment trust with a 14% dividend yield, but investors should be cautious as the stock may not provide long-term reliable income. Unlike Federal Realty, a Dividend King with a 4.5% yield, AGNC is a mortgage REIT that operates more like a mutual fund, buying and selling mortgage securities. The company aims for total return, but its volatile dividend and declining stock price may not meet the expectations of dividend investors. Consider diversification and total return goals before investing in AGNC. Stock Advisor recommends other stocks for potential monster returns.
