Five Oaks Investment Corp. (OAKS)

Dragging twigs, that's funny. That may be what Five Oaks did.

BTW, I'm noticing a fair number of hype articles and posts this year on Seeking Alpha related to high yield investments that seem to be compensated, against their TOS. They come from people who always love certain stocks no matter how they disappoint. A key trait is every failure is said to be a "golden opportunity" to load up with more "cheapies."

Another red flag is when a tiny micro-cap stock in a sleepy sector suddenly receives a bunch of enthusiastic write ups. Bad enough when we see that with obviously junk Pennyland products, but it's utterly unacceptably with retiree-type dividend stocks.

[leftovers]

Yep looks like a hit and run for sure! Seems all the victims have left the room and hit the Pike dragging twigs to cover their trail!

[bar1080]

LOL: "I wonder if Mr. know it all will show up trying to tell us how lousy these dividend payers are."

What a dog this is. OAKS/HCFT or Whatever.

Total market cap is only $85 million. Changing name is old trick to hide a record of failure.

[leftovers]

This stocks symbol has been changed to HCFT someone needs to update the board here.

[lab40]

So much for the RS theory!

[Scotttrader80]

Yup he did, once a stalker always a stalker, admin is aware and is tracking his movements

Didn't think about a RS I guess this could drag on for many years of share holder losses! LOL

RS sell more shares lower dividend pay outs wash rinse repeat Oh My?

January 11, 2018: "15% Dividend Yield Not Worth The Risk"

"Challenges
The mortgage REIT is facing dramatic challenges from the flattening of the yield curve. Covering the current dividend is already problematic. Eventually, we may see a reverse split. Unless the yield curve steepens materially, the company will continue to be in a difficult position. There was nothing fundamentally wrong with its decision to transition to this strategy. I believe it was a very reasonable choice. However, investors today have the benefit of seeing what has happened to the yield curve over the past few years. Consequently, they have the benefit of additional insight when making the choice of where to allocate their capital. As it stands, I am concerned about the sustainable level of core earnings and dividends going forward. I believe a reduction in the dividend would be a significant negative catalyst. Therefore, it is easy for me to maintain a bearish view."

[leftovers]

Oh ya I understand. Just a matter of time before OAKS disappears and falls off the map!

I give it 1-2 years tops?

[bar1080]

Do you see why I bash stocks like OAKS? Investors who think they can sell in time are kidding themselves... and others. OAKS is a stinker.

[Scotttrader80]

I was swinging OAKS there for a while, $3.97 to $4.20's any given month banking .15-.20 cents far outweighs their dividend. Waiting for OAKS to bottom again to find a low then rinse and repeat. I did call the divy cut but I expected it to happen last year.

I wonder if Mr. know it all will show up trying to tell us how lousy these dividend payers are.

[Sone]

Means nothing .. it’s your fault if you loose money not because of the cuts. Buy and sell at the right times and reinvest the dividends. I’m not up by much but still better than keeping it in the bank. Anyways it’s not about one investment it’s about the portfolio as a whole. All portfolios have a pig or two..

[leftovers]

Dividend reduction cuts history

.16 down to .125 10/10/13
.125 down to .10 07/13/15
.10 down to .06 11/10/16
.06 down to .05 01/12/17
.05 down to .033 01/12/18

Current monthly pay out .033

I Must say at least they are consistent.

PS Buyer Warning past results are not a guarantee of future results!

[leftovers]

He's talking about anyone who bought this last year, the year before and the year before that.

They have been shaved to the bone all the meat is gone. With the monthly dividend shaved down to .033 after how many prior cuts there is not much left to cut on the next cut.

To sum it up from 2013 inception down to the 2018 hair cut nothing left here.

[Sone]

I’m up 2% so not sure what your talking about

[bar1080]

There goes a few years of dividends

">" />

[GMONEY4]

Getting cheaper. Let's see if $3 holds.

[GMONEY4]

On watch.

[Scotttrader80]

OAKS $3.55 pre market, blood bath coming from divy cut

[Sone]

Free up cash just Incase

[Sone]

Doubt it goes anywhere near that price.. but if it does backup the truck and buy that 20%+ dividend

[Scotttrader80]

Im figuring investors bailing out will drop OAKS to $1.50 or somewhere under $2.00. Its going to be messy, a shorts paradise.

Management needs new blood, their bleed has been happening every quarter, too bad, they were a good payer.

Know of any growing Cobalt miners? With all of the EV's hitting the road, Cobalt is the one mineral needed to make all of that happen.

[leftovers]

I never did either! I been in and out of CANN and GBLX. Oaks is toast going to shed some weight on Monday for sure probably lose a dollar or more?

these losses every quarter is going to put them under.

[Scotttrader80]

Good for the shorts. Monday morning will be a blood bath. I never got filled, decided to go with INTV for a quicker return. Maybe OAKS should do crypto too, cause these losses every quarter is going to put them under.

[leftovers]

Ouch! Not Good....

Damn 33% cut!!

that will drop the price wonder how far it will go?

[Sone]

Damn 33% cut!!

[Sone]

Any thoughts on when we hear news about the dividend? Last year I believe it was mid December?

I have been swinging some MJ stocks and doing real well in the last 2 weeks.

Some nice hits have been with CANN GBLX ISOLF and SPRWF The nicest hit was with CANN captured a one dollar move in two days!

[Scotttrader80]

I have a ORC divy coming in on the 10th, so I'll wait until after the X date to get the $3.97's and just swing OAKS for 20-30% gain by the time the next divy rolls around. Thats why I love monthlies, they are predictable. Maybe by then NAK will have become something?

[leftovers]

Mines in at 4 even.

DEC 14 2017 Ex-dividend Date

Dividend amount $0.05

NO, now run along

[Sone]

Aren’t you too nervous about the possible dividend cut in a week or two?

[Scotttrader80]

Have a gtc order in for $3.97. OAKS is good for a .50 cent flip.

[Scotttrader80]

Im buyer of OAKS @ $4.00, they seem to run from the low $4.00's to the mids $4.50's. They might turn into a nice swing play.

I hear ya, ORC over OAKS is the better play and it kills me that they arent equally valued but putting all of our eggs in one baskets sometimes causes scrambled egg. Trust me Ive been looking for something that matches ORC's sp to pay out ratio and its difficult

[leftovers]

I have determined I don't want this issue. I had a chance to buy it last month for a flat 4 dollars and went for ORC instead.

This past three weeks I went for CRF and CLM both also have Sept 14 X dates. I am waiting for ORC to announce the next X date and will add more of it soon. Today it is screaming at 9.90 plus.

ORC paid me exactly on Pay day and it was a nice check. So I will continue to add when I can...

[Scotttrader80]

OAKS X date in a couple of days 9/14, tomorrow is the last day to buy in for the dividend

[leftovers]

interesting I may take a opening position this week and roll the dice!

Im staying away from OAKS, I had them years ago but things have changed. You can get 2 OAKS for 1 ORC or 1 AMZA which is starting to look better by the day. 2 OAKS x divy of .05 = .10 cents. ORC pays .14 cents, .04 cents MORE, AMZA pays .52 cents quarterly which works out to be 10 OAKS monthly or 3.5 ORC monthly. For the $9.00 buck AMZA's the better play. If you can scoop up AMZA mid quarter and buy the dips, as you know the more shares you own the bigger your pay out.

OAKS has a history of cutting their dividend to stay solvent. We have 2 more FED rate increases still coming,(Sept & DEC) and we're seeing how the last 2 quarterly .25% increases have affected our REIT positions.

Thats how Im seeing things, I like divy players and now cryptocurrency start ups, my history shows what Im in to

[orlandomagik]

So sell now and maybe buy after the drop? It that your plan? or just stay away from OAKS?

[Scotttrader80]

This earnings season seems to be tough on all sectors. Chalk it up to consumer confidence which appears to be low. Bargains galore if you have the powder. Im looking at Lithium companies that pay dividends and getting away from REITS like OAKS but keeping ORC, love those guys. Look at the boards I follow, OAKS is ok, but there are other opportunities that are experiancing serious growth.
