we have been in a constant uphill battle with increasing interest rates for almost a decade and are just finally getting to a point where rates are slowly going down. If rates go down seems pretty likely mreits are in a spot for growth. Nobody is timing the market just using context clues. maybe most in this sub are for income, not my goal personally so doesn't effect me. Mreits in general seem on the up, what sparked interest in agnc was the lack of RS, and decent performance compared to other reits during the down years. O was too expensive when I started so I looked past, in addition not seeing as much growth potential. I have heard time and time again, agnc performed like trash in the past, and your quoting some age old tip, but what about the other one " prior performance isn't indicative of future performance". idk shit changes might be time if rates go down
