  • ruskinq2: $ORC looking for babies thrown out with the bathwater, relative strength here? had a big volume up a couple days ago, followed by a hammer, green today and has monster dividend paid monthly....thoughts?
  • rck89: $ORC - Is anyone still following this stock? It seems to want to do better. EPS this week. 8/4 Thanks.
  • ruskinq2: @rck89 $ORC have been holding a while for the div, added a slug more yesterday since the div was now around 15-16% with current price
  • ruskinq2: $ORC anyone have input on this one? REIT with 17+% annual dividend paid monthly...
  • rck89: $ORC - Is anyone still following this p%g?
  • mharps: @rck89 $ORC could not resist picking up that div will unload soon
  • setshot: @mharps $ORC - May do the same for almost 20% dividend. Thinking about it.
  • mharps: @setshot $ORC ex was the 25th-youd have to wait
  • rck89: $ORC - So what to do with this high yielding stock, though "they " cut the div a bit. Thoughts, please.
  • SamWB: @rck89 $ORC I've been in this stock twice and gotten burned twice. Too much pain for me.
  • Ajax4Hire: @Forexpro $GS $JPM $C $WFC $TTWO $ZNGA Interest Rate hikes, four(4) predicted this year. Makes me look toward fixed-income REITs like: $NLY(11%), $AGNC(9.5%), $WHF(9%), $CIM(8.7%) APR. (But not $ORC, too painful)
  • rck89: $ORC - So Happy New Year, All! This year will be better - period! So any new thoughts on this fan "fav"?
  • Jazman0013: @farview $PSEC odd, no dividend payment from November in December in my accounts. I do have some from $ORC of which I believe I sold around the ex div date. Thank you. Perhaps I’ll contact TD
  • mharps: $ORC declared div as unchanged ex 12/30
  • Jazman0013: $ORC not participating. Glad I ditched it. Not following $PSEC or $NLY. Be careful with this one.
  • Ajax4Hire: @Jazman0013 $ORC $PSEC $NLY 2nd time burn by $ORC(my Stop-Loss was $4.87) $4.88=16%APR Gonna have to stick to my mantra: Nothing below $10...unless Nothing below $5, no, not, never.(1) $ORC was seductive with its 14%,15%,16% APR dividend. As the price goes down more become like Turbo at end of "Wreck It Ralph", go into the light... https://youtu.be/ClNTCYkZI2s?t=186 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xy-h3IP-xKg (1)From: Trading hygiene to keep me clean.
  • Jazman0013: @Ajax4Hire $ORC $PSEC $NLY know the feeling with the low $/extremely high yield plays. That burn is awful.
  • mharps: $ORC worrisome but they hvae paid for many years-even though div has been reduced occasionally: https://www.dividendinvestor.com/dividend-history-detail/orc/ still worrisome
  • rnrdallas1939: @mharps $ORC there a plenty of other div payers out there. Look for one that stays in a channel that you pick and can live with. $ORC is not one for me. Do you have the last list for#yeildhogs that @jan1938 posted? A good place to start.
  • Jazman0013: @mharps $ORC I bailed yesterday. Was down enough and I don’t see the uptrend in the chart to make me want to wait it out.
  • Jazman0013: $ORC Dividend Play or not this one isn’t working. This wouldn’t be the first high yield issue that got higher until they cut the dividend. I don’t mind flat and high yield but I don’t like waiting for the come back either. Eventually the yield doesn’t cushion the decline.
  • mharps: @Jazman0013 $ORC I show ex as 11/29 so expect decline, the div has bee steady for quite a while- so I;ll hold till the next one, still it is depressing
  • Jazman0013: @mharps $ORC consider reducing if it doesn’t stabilize. $PSEC came back and rewarded patience but it was a long wait. $ORC came back from a nasty decline as well but consider the rally off the bottom in 2020 which lifted nearly everything. I don’t see that kind of rally here. I don’t like this type of decline even with the yield. I just cut a bunch. I can always buy it back. If it continues to decline another couple % it is gone.
  • joelsg1: @Jazman0013 $ORC $PSEC This happened before, in April, and has never recovered. Not just a dividend decline, as never reclaimed that drop and in fact went lower. No thanks.
  • Jazman0013: @joelsg1 $ORC $PSEC agree the drift in the chart was constant down. This move looks like a break down.
  • Margi1983: @Jazman0013 $ORC $PSEC$ORC I got stopped out at 4.56.. risk management even with #yieldhogs is a necessity
  • Jazman0013: @Margi1983 $ORC $PSEC #yieldhogs I just closed it all out. It would be nice if this were a one day thing but… I doubt it.
  • DAN: Several active trades were stopped out over the past few trading days. This is a very choppy and dangerous environment. Risk is high, reward is low. Excitement does not equal profit. Don't give it back. Squirrel it away and deploy it in a more fav ...
  • Momentariness: @DAN $DEN $NUE $ORC $SNOW $TAN $BOOT $GOOGL $HUT $SHOP $XPEV $ZIM Have you ever put a short position on the active trade list? You mentioned that $TEAM looked like a possible short during yesterday's trading/study session and that worked out well today for me. Thanks.
  • DAN: @Momentariness $DEN $NUE $ORC $SNOW $TAN $BOOT $GOOGL $HUT $SHOP $XPEV $ZIM $TEAM I haven't put one on the ATL. I'll typically just do what I did with $TEAM. Point it out and let members decide.
  • DAN: ...
    The following stocks were stopped out and removed from the ATL: $DEN $NUE $ORC $SNOW $TAN

    Here are my notes for all of the stocks:

    $BOOT -- You should be taking profits by now. Uptrend still good….but you should be taking profits. Don&rsqu ...
  • Snowcat: @grcjr $ORC If its so risky, why is it on the active trade list?
  • grcjr: @Snowcat $ORC - If I were in this one it would be very small and if that small why bother. The daily and weekly trends are down, eating into the dividend gains. Look at a 5year weekly and you also see an almost constant down trend. @jan2138 declared this suspect a few years back. I do look at this from time to time. I see no reason to change my mind.
  • grcjr: $ORC The first part from @jan2138 on 07/06/2015

    @dividend135 $ORC: never have liked this one so, I have not followed it. I could not get over the connection to Bimini Capital Management. I remember reading something way back when about the principal ...
  • Ajax4Hire: My metric ton of $ORC just auto-sold Stop-Loss "Redline=$4.83,$ORC" In this case the 2nd loss is the smallest. "Nothing below $10" "Nothing below $5, never" Place keys on a key hook in the laundry room just off the garage, ALWAYS. Good hygiene, this way I ALWAYS know they are. As I get older, I develop a set of ALWAYS/NEVER. I NEVER eat Pretzels and NEVER buy stock below $5. Regret clouds a NEVER action.
  • coldevinc: @Ajax4Hire $ORC Yeah, I got an alert. whats the problem with it?
  • Ajax4Hire: @coldevinc $ORC No problem. I NEVER buy without a Stop-Loss/Redline defined. Fidelity must think me schizophrenic; for moments after I start a position in long-term account, I immediately issue a Sell order. What! you just bought, sell? Yes, Stop-Loss Sell order, ALWAYS set a Stop-Loss. And my $ORC Stop-Loss was $4.83.
  • jfd: @Ajax4Hire $ORC the late great Dana said the divvy was inconsistent, I am paraphrasing<
  • Jazman0013: $PSEC, $NLY and $ORC all down a couple pennies.
  • Pokersmith: @Jazman0013 $PSEC $NLY $ORC see also: $MAIN ( #yieldhawg )
  • Jazman0013: @Pokersmith $PSEC $NLY $ORC $MAIN #yieldhawg thank you. :). I can’t own them all but that one looks good.
  • Snowcat: @stevey12 $ORC Do you know if that includes the 3 day settlement period?
  • Snowcat: What date to buy $ORC to get the next div?
  • Kimberley: @Snowcat $ORC 11/28 The day before the ex dividend date
  • stevey12: @Snowcat $ORC The ex-dividend date is 11/29, so you would need to buy it before 11/28 in order to capture the dividend.
  • Wolf: @DAN $TSLA $SPY $DIA $IYT $ARCB $JETS $QQQ $HUT $BOOT $SNOW $NLY $ORC $DEN $TGH $GOOGL $VSTO $ESI $UHAL $SE $ESI reported earnings on 10/27.
  • Auto: $ARR $NRZ $ORC added long love those divs
  • gmj: $RNP, $NLY, $ORC I use all three for core excess cash positions BUT I trade in and out of $RNP which is my worker bee and is consistent in it's relationship with the 50ma. Maintaining a core pos, adding on major dips to the 50ma and below. Recently dipping below the 150 near the 200 ($25.50 -10% off the highs), great buy not all at once but a start adding through the month and now with a full max pos (ave up 5%) I'm ready to start looking for a new high 28.25 area and taking profits when I see a red bar with a tail on top hopefully after 11/16 to capture the div. FYI ex date this month is 11/16 with div date 11/30. Works for me .
  • mopick: @gmj $RNP $NLY $ORC, am with you on $RNP, core position as well.
  • AlexH: Team, I bought $ORC on Oct 25th, I have not seen any dividend pays, is that normal, did I buy in too late?
  • Zimzala: @AlexH $ORC Pay date is 11/26.
  • joelsg1: @AlexH $ORC Pays monthly, you just in time, ex-div. was day after you bought.
  • vze23rcm: @AlexH $ORC https://ir.orchidislandcapital.com/stock-information/dividend-history/default.aspx pay date 11/26/2021
  • AlexH: @vze23rcm $ORC much appreciated
  • AlexH: @vze23rcm $ORC much appreciated
  • AlexH: @joelsg1 $ORC much appreciated
  • AlexH: @Zimzala $ORC much appreciated
  • DAN: ...
    $NLY & $ORC -- not relevant here.
    $DEN -- EARNINGS THURSDAY. Up 14%. A $100 price would be a complete measured move. Look for that as a target, but protect some profits. Current stop is at 76.50. That’s a decline of more than 12% from ...
  • Auto: $ARR $ORC $NLY added like those divs long
  • phgruver: @Auto $ARR $ORC $NLY The secret to #High_Yielders is to hang on for a looooong time. I first bought $NLY back in 2011, at Jim Cramer's recommendation. It took a big hit, a few years later, when the CEO died, and has srugled to get back on track. Technically, I'm still underwater, even though I've taken advantage of lower prices to add. When I add in dividends I've received, though, my real cost basis is down to $4/share, and heading lower! In a couple more years, if Real Estate doesn't crumble, It'll become "free money".
  • Auto: @phgruver $ARR $ORC $NLY #High_Yielders Yes long term only I'm long from way back when add on dips and let them work
  • Ajax4Hire: All about that base, 'bout that base, 'bout that base Completed base of Dividend/ATM stocks this morning: $T-AT&T, 8%APR; Redline=$24.91,$T $NLY-Annaly Capital, 10.2%APR; Redline=$8.27,$NLY $ORC-Orchid Island Capital, 15%APR; Redline=$4.83,$ORC 11.3%APR for me.
  • AlexH: @Ajax4Hire $ORC what date its clear to sell and still receive the dividends, was it the 27th? if so then it really didn't drop at all, right?
  • AlexH: $ORC 09:51 AM 10/28/2021@Ajax4Hire $ORC what date its clear to sell and still receive the dividends, was it the 27th? if so then it really didn't drop at all, right?
  • wijimmy: @AlexH $ORC....ex div is 10/28 meaning you have to be a share holder at the close today...and you will get .065 cents a share payable on ..11/26... But be aware that earnings will be released after market today also...
  • Ajax4Hire: @AlexH $ORC Today, Thu,Oct28,2021 is Ex-Dividend for $ORC. Meaning that Stock holders of record yesterday will receive 6.5¢ (It is)why the drop today of about 6¢(I see dead people,oooo, Halloween!) I am waiting for the Earnings Report scheduled for Today, Thu,Oct28,2021 at 5:00pm I am somewhat worried as last two(2) quarters were negative earnings. This is a REIT, required to payout 90% of profit as dividend but with no earnings, no profit, no dividend, no reason to own. From $ORC, Dividend history https://ir.orchidislandcapital.com/stock-information/dividend-history/default.aspx
  • farview: @Ajax4Hire $ORC I am seeing earnings of the last 4 quarters of .42,.23,.25, and 24 cents .24 being the latest. Where are you seeing negative earnings?
  • Ajax4Hire: @AlexH $ORC If you are looking for a dividend play; I would stick with the Active Trade List Engine that could: $NLY Another unlikely cash machine is $T-AT&amp;T Currently at 8% APR and a multi-year Lo I like because it is at a Lo-Loss point; Buying some now with stop loss Redline=$24.91,$T 2.5% loss if I am wrong. Note: 7.1773%(lets just call it 7.2%)APR compounded will doubles in value every 10years.
  • Ajax4Hire: Reminder; $ORC-Orchid Island Capital a Active Trade List entry and 15% APR dividend REIT goes Ex-Dividend today as 6.5¢ distributed to owner-of-record. Meaning; expect $ORC to drop at least 6.5¢ tomorrow. I own some from ATL entry; Plan to finalize position Fri,Oct29th after Earnings Report; should get local minimum. Thu,Sep30th ex-dividend Lo=$4.86 Wed,Aug04th 52week Lo=$4.80 occurred after last Earnings Report.
  • Wolf: @Ajax4Hire $CBTC $GAHC $GRNQ $NLY $ORC $TCLRY $GRNQ Up 133%.RHRN.
  • DAN: ...
    $ORC -- Ex-dividend date is next Thursday. Gotta buy the stock by Wednesday.
    $SNOW -- Up 11.4%. Pretty smooth ride here.
    $TGH -- flat. Stock is ok, my entry wasn’t.
    $TSLA -- Up 25%. I think this is going to be a $1,000 stock. If so, it& ...
  • Ajax4Hire: @DAN $CBTC $GAHC $GRNQ I broke my rule of "nothing below $10" when I bought $NLY and $ORC $NLY gain covered the $ORC Thu,Apr15th loss(1st loss is the best:) Try my old company $TCLRY-Technicolor(colorize movies!) $10,000 buys 95,602shares! If it goes up just a Dollar you make $95k, whoo-hoo! The seduction of the lo-cost companies. Problem, closer to -0- than $1.
  • Auto: $NLY $ORC $NRZ $ARR added early long from below weekly love those divs
  • DAN: ...
    $ORC -- Status quo.
    $HUT -- Up 15% since Wednesday. Raising the stop to 10.40 (just below 10.65 entry). That’s just below Thursday’s low.
    $TSLA -- Up 15%. This could hit $900 before earnings next Wednesday.
    $SNOW -- Breakout still hol ...
  • DAN: ...
    $NLY -- same as $ORC. Nothing to do.
    $SNOW -- Good breakout on high volume.
    $TGH -- Stable here.
    $TSLA -- higher high and low.
  • DAN: Our open trades are still working well. Here is an update with comments and stops:

    Adding:
    $ORC -- Basis 5.05 Stop $4.80. This yields 15.5%, so it's the sister of Annaly Capital ($NLY). As with $NLY, $ORC is probably not the trade for most of you ...
  • SamWB: @DAN $ORC Dan and friends, two cents regarding $ORC. Back when I first joined I asked about this one and you added it to the active trade list. Shortly afterwards it took a dive and was removed from said list. A few of members had mentioned the company had problems dating way back. Perhaps things have changed, but I just wanted to point it out, primarily because I still feel bad about it.
  • Pokersmith: @SamWB $ORC well hopefully they're better at dating now 🤣
  • SamWB: @Pokersmith $ORC We can only hope!
  • DAN: ...
    Vaccine Mandate coming: $LUV obeying...and others will follow. This will be a big deal, and we’ll see more weakness. But mandates are not law. Congress makes the laws and the Executive branch enforces them. Nobody likes the Constitution any ...
  • Kimberley: @DAN #Training $orc
  • DAN: ...
    $ORC -- 15.7% yield. have a pretty good….position in stock
  • Rick_O: $ORC: I've been holding this ATM card for almost a year, bearing the up/down. Looking at the higher lows, would it be a good time to add and also feel a bit secure?
  • Henry: @Rick_O $ORC Not many stocks pay a 15% divy. Too bad Jan2138 is no longer with us as yieldhogs were his thing. I have to channel my inner Cramer and say a divy that high makes me nervous. The stock is also below the 200 ema According to the chart from Schwab, this will be the first time the dividend has increased since 2014. It's made higher lows for 2 months but the stock price has been in a downtrend since 2015. Unless someone who understands their business model says this company has made these changes and it is turning itself around, I would not touch it.
  • Rick_O: @Henry $ORC Thank you Henry. I certainly have very little idea but only bought for the very high divy. And holding has already paid the little loss I was hit with the decreasing price and a bit more. With your words, I might just get out and put a bit more in $NLY which has also been profitable in the nice divy and the stock price.
  • Auto: $HD $KBR $ARR $ORC $COST $VSTO added long
  • Margi1983: @scottto_2 $CLM Nice. Here are the hogs I am long. $ABR, $BCSF,$ETJ,$MAIN, $NEWT, $NLY,$NREF,$ORC ( may dump this one),$SAR, $STWD. Standouts this year are $STWD, $NEWT, $SAR. The best although with only a 3% divi is $BX which I guess is not a hog.
  • scottto_2: @Margi1983 $CLM $ABR $BCSF $ETJ $MAIN $NEWT $NLY $NREF $ORC $SAR $STWD $BX - Thanks for the list. I'm not really concerned about the stock price as a form of appreciation since I don't want to sell my dividend producers. In fact ones that appreciate are problematic for me as I'm reinvesting the dividends (less bang for that 'free' buck) and I add to the positions with a percentage of my profitable trades to ensure that I keep growing a long-term income producers (with tax advantages).
  • Margi1983: @scottto_2 $CLM $ABR $BCSF $ETJ $MAIN $NEWT $NLY $NREF $ORC $SAR $STWD $BX Smart move using profits from trades to insure long-term income from the hogs. Dana, @jan2138 would be proud of you. He is watching the forum from heaven
  • DAN: ...
    $ORC: $ORC-Orchid Island is now close to 15%APR dividend;
    Is this a good time to buy $ORC as an ATM or should I steer clear of this sub-$10 stock? Normally I would not consider anything under $10 but broke my policy with $NLY; wonder if $ORC is anot ...
  • Rick_O: $ORC: I'm down few % with holding but DIV is $0.065/month. For a stock trading $5, even today's 3.4% reversal... ouch... is bearable
  • Auto: $ORC $NRZ added long love those divs
  • Auto: $ORC added long love those divs
  • jvee: @jonwest88 $ABR I like this one too. They have increased their dividend EVERY year since 2013, which is the earliest I can view. $ORC on the other hand has decreased their dividend EVERY year since 2014.
  • Auto: $ORC nice squeeze daily added long love the div
  • setshot: @Auto $ORC - I love the dividend too!
  • Auto: @setshot $ORC two thumbs up 8>)
  • rnrdallas1939: @Auto $ORC nothing like a #yeildhog that is working plus div.
  • Auto: @rnrdallas1939 $ORC #yeildhog Yes! owned for a long time keep adding in the basement 8>)
  • jvee: @Auto $ORC #yeildhog The stock has decreasing dividends paid every year since 2014. I look for ones that are increasing their payouts and that are not paying out in excess.
