72% Informative

AGNC Investment Corp. has a 14.9% dividend yield.

The mortgage real estate investment trust's dividend history shows that it's not an income panacea.

Income-focused investors buying AGNC in the hopes of securing a reliable income stream would have been let down.

But if you are looking to add mortgage exposure to the mix, it could be a good fit.

Consider when Nvidia made this list on April 15, 2005 ... if you invested $ 1,000 at the time of our recommendation, you’d have $ 849,539 ! The Stock Advisor service has more than quadrupled the return of S&P 500 since 2002 .
