A 1.1% intraday rise today brought the price up to touch the 20-day moving average.
NLY has an annual dividend of 15.5%, and that means it is subject to large drops when the quarterly payouts goes ex-dividend. That last happened on Sept. 30, and the stock has not yet moved into the resulting 63¢ gap.
That downward move also triggered a bear phase on Person's Proprietary Signal lasting seven trading days and producing a 0.3% price decline. Not much of a bear phase.
In a posting on Sept. 2 I wrote that NLY "has staged a nice recovery from the real-estate crash that was followed by the current recession." That still holds true.
However, NLY is in the business of investing in real-estate mortgages. The recession may be "officially" over, but large swathes of the economy have barely recovered or not at all. Real estate is one of them.
NLY is in my opinion more prone to earnings surprises that are other types of companies. Given the high dividend, it is also extraordinarily sensitive to money policy surprises and bond-market surprises.
Yes, NLY is a high-yield place to park money. But it's not a risk-free parking spot. Watch out for falling pianos.
On the Person's chart, today's rise sent the price through the upper weekly pivot level, a sign of the strength of the move.

The Heikin-Ashi chart shows the stock in an uptrend beginning Oct. 7, but it has only been int he last two days that the Heikin-Ashi candlesticks began to show the long upper wick characteristic of a strengthening uptrend.
There are several key reversal levels. Often stocks will retrace up to the midpoint of a large gap, and that coincidentally is almost identical with the 20-day moving average. And the swing low is often a strong support level, and today it is identical with the 200-day moving average.
