he Chart of the Day is Anworth Mortgage Asset Corp (ANH). Â I found the stock by sorting the New High List for frequency in the last month, skipped the stocks that did not have positive gains for the last week and month then used the Flipchart feature to review the charts. Â Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 1/7 the stock gained 14.06%.
ANH was formed to invest in mortgage assets,including mortgage pass-through certificates, collateralized mortgage obligations, mortgage loans and other securities representing interests in, or obligations backed by, pools of mortgage loans which can be readily financed and short-term investments. The Company intends to acquire mortgage assets primarily in the secondary mortgage market through its manager, Anworth Mortgage Advisory Corporation.
