Rising rates benefit Annaly's spread.
Annaly (NLY) benefits from rising longer-term interest rates because it can buy higher-yielding securities, widening the spread between its cost of funds and asset yields. The company raises much of its capital in equity markets and uses repurchase agreements to leverage government-insured securities, paying a high dividend yield in the teens. He holds NLY as his biggest position.

Annaly common offers high yield, low volatility.
Annaly Common (NLY) yields more than its preferred shares and the stock has very low volatility. As a mortgage REIT owning government-insured securities, there is no credit risk, only market risk, and Annaly's management handles that well.

High-yield mortgage REIT with government assets
Annaly is a mortgage REIT with government-insured assets, a high dividend yield recently raised, huge spread from repo funding, and an expert team managing hedged risk. He stopped buying short-term Treasuries and moved everything to Annaly because there is no credit risk.

Annally offers better yield than TIPS
Whalen believes TIPS are not reflecting true inflation (only pricing 2-3%) and suggests better alternatives like fixed-income investments such as Annally (NLY), which owns government-insured mortgages and pays a higher yield. He personally owns NLY.

Buy mortgage REITs for high income.
Income is scarce in the current environment, and mortgage REITs like Annaly, AGNC, PennyMac, and Mike Nierenberg's REIT offer high returns in the teens, making them attractive for income-seeking investors.

Focus on income assets like mortgage REITs.
His portfolio is defensive and focused on income-generating assets. He mentions Annaly and AGNC as examples of mortgage REITs that are good for income, not for price appreciation (alpha).

"Annaly's dividends almost 13% on the common. The reason a bare steepener doesn't worry me with an agency read like Annalie is that steep is good... It has more spread between short-term and long-term." Agency REITs fund themselves in short-term repo markets and purchase long-term mortgage-backed securities. A steepening yield curve directly expands their net interest margin, securing their high dividend yield and providing robust fiat income to balance a portfolio holding non-yielding assets like gold. LONG. It is an ideal income-generating vehicle (surrogate for T-bills but with 3x-4x the yield) that actively benefits from the current macroeconomic interest rate environment. A flattening or inverted yield curve, or sudden liquidity spikes in short-term repo rates, could squeeze their net interest margins and force dividend cuts.

"I bought some more income the other day. You know, I I've been growing my position in Annaly... things like that that throw off cash flow and don't have very high betas." In a volatile, "risk-off" environment, investors should seek low-beta assets that generate high current income. Mortgage REITs (mREITs) like Annaly provide cash flow while the investor waits for the broader market correction to settle. Long for income and defensive positioning. Interest rate volatility or a spike in mortgage spreads could negatively impact book value.

Whalen highlights that Rocket Companies (RKT) had "really good, great volumes" and a very good earnings report. He also mentions Annaly (NLY) as a "favorite portfolio holding" that has done very well. Despite high rates, these companies are managing to maintain volumes or leverage their servicing assets effectively. Lenders are getting aggressive to keep servicing assets, which supports the business models of market leaders like Rocket and Annaly. LONG based on strong earnings execution in a difficult environment. If the 10-year Treasury yield spikes back above 4.1%, mortgage activity could freeze entirely, hurting volumes.

"It's not a stock I own for capital appreciation. It's a stock I own for income... That stock's doing very well." In a market rotating toward safety and income, Annaly (investing in government-guaranteed MBS) offers high yield (low-to-mid teens) with lower credit risk than private credit. It acts as a bond-proxy defensive hold. Pure income/safety play. Interest rate volatility; spread widening between Treasuries and MBS.

Whalen states the market is moving from "speculation" to "preservation" and "cash flow." He explicitly names Annaly (NLY) as a holding for income and praises Walmart (WMT) for its defensive stability. As high-beta tech and crypto trades unwind ("run out of runway"), capital will rotate into defensive sectors (Consumer Staples) and high-yield instruments (Mortgage REITs) that provide security and income. LONG (Defensive Rotation). Rising long-term interest rates could hurt NLY's book value; consumer spending slowdown could impact WMT.
