Hi folks, Here is a list of possible high dividend positions one could use to hold some of your cash funds. The interest ranges from 7% to 15.1%.

ORC Orchid Island Capital Inc (REIT)
DX Dynex Capital (REIT)
WMC Western Asset Mortgage Capital Corp (REIT)
AGNC American Capital Agency (REIT)
IVR Invesco Mortgage Capital (REIT)
NLY Annaly Capital (REIT)
EFC Ellington Financial LLC (MLP)
ATAX America First Tax Exempt Investors L P Units Ben Int (MLP)
TSLX TPG Specialty Lending, Inc.
NLY-C Annaly Capital Management Inc 7.625% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (I think it's listed as NLY-PC on finance.yahoo.com but Yahoo doesn't have data as far back as TDAmeritrade has.)

Listing at Dividend.com

NLY-C is a preferred stock so its price range is very narrow which could be a good choice because when you might need cash for a different AIM move you wouldn't lose much even if you bought it at the highest point and it was at its low point when you cashed it in. Over the last 5 years the low point, $22.48, is about 15% lower than the high point, $26.34.

Given that the highest inflation per year over the last ten years is less than 3% this would get you a decent return on your idle cash which would help your overall return.
