no doubt...it took me a few rounds to get a reasonable understanding of it...lol

the best part of the article

Conclusion:

Therefore, in regards to this detailed dividend sustainability analysis, I am confident AGNC will keep their $1.25 per share quarterly dividend. In regards to any possible dividend rate changes in the future, all the evidence points to a dividend increase as opposed to a dividend cut. AGNC has been very cautious in regards to choosing a quarterly dividend rate. I believe the Q1 2012 cut from $1.40 to $1.25 per share was precautionary in nature. From the three dividend sustainability calculations performed within this article, AGNC's $1.25 per share is easily covered by AGNC's operations. Furthermore, keeping this $1.25 per share dividend rate for the remaining 2013 quarters barely surpasses the minimum REIT requirement of distributing 90% of their 2012 annual REIT taxable income.
