Hmmm. I always look askance at the NLY in my portfolio. Bought it for the yield, but committed the sin of buying something I don't understand at all. I'm sure I was convinced by some article on a weak willpower day or something. Paid $16 something per share, held through the dividend cut, and it sits at about $10 now. With dividends, I am ahead, but only barely, and way less so than if I had bought something more sensible. But I never actually sell it. It is 1.5 percent of my portfolio by value, but it provides about 5 percent of my total dividends.
