JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA--(Marketwire - June 17, 2010) - [ www.bellwetherreport.com ] -- For the last five and half months or so, recovery has most probably been the one key word that has dominated most media talks, federal and government gibberish, financial-related articles posted online and thoughts of the Wall Street community in the market and beyond. In the mortgage investment industry there has been talks of recovery and more talks of recovery. This is one industry that is still walking the wire and one of the main reasons is that it has been at the center of not just one financial crisis, but it has taken bashing blows from two different financial meltdowns, one when the sub-prime defaults went out of control and the second one when financial markets went into deep red territory pulling the whole of the economy. The resulting effects of the financial turmoil are still lingering throughout the U.S. economy like an old man suffering from arthritis. Big names in the space have seen their descent to hell up close and personal.

Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae which were the two domineering giants of the mortgage investment industry went from quasi-private to government sponsored status in 2008. The government initiative to take control of both these companies was at that time estimated to be in the tens of billions of dollars; costs U.S. taxpayers were to bear. The reality after close to two years is that FRE and FNM has already leeched $145 billion from their unlimited credit line and this figure is heading to the ceiling according to industry professionals. "It would be fair to state that recovery is still at the early stages of work-in-progress for the mortgage investment industry. We do not believe it will follow the recovery trend of the overall market or the economy for that matter," commented George Turner of [ www.bellwetherreport.com ]. "We, however, think that investors can still make some good investments in this industry on companies like Anworth Mortgage Asset Corporation (NYSE: [ ANH ]), Capstead Mortgage Corp. (NYSE: [ CMO ]), Redwood Trust Inc. and Annaly Capital Management."
