Running a Holding Company

Hello
I am Mike D Lunsford , owner and Prsident of Lunsford Investments. Based out of Oklahoma City Oklahoma. My goal for Lunsford Investments to grow 10% a year . In our Holdings and with our Profit.

One of the Goals for Lunsford Investments , is to own a Movie Theater. To make this happen Lunsford Investments has to Increase it's Holdings in the REIT's that it holds. The REIT's has a High Dividend pay out , to the Shareholders. Another move will be to Icrease our Shares of Ellington Financial llc. EFC has a high Dividend payout as well.

The next thing to do is to increase the overall Income from Lunsford Investments and our savings. To keep cost down will be a key in keeping on path for this goal. My company might be small and is just a year old to the Business world. However, my drive and real world knowledge , will guide the Lunsford Investments. What will hurt this company , or give it a set back would be making a bad investment. So , with that being said , right now more then ever ; I have to study and plan . Roll with the Market. The up's the down days , weeks , mths. I must not become sidetracted .

If I am , then Lunsfortd Investments , will have been hit with a knock-out blow. By the end of this year , Lunsford Investment have a Increase of at least 10% , over-all holdings and profit. And to keep it moving forward. Playing this Chess game with my future and my companys future is at the top of my list.

THe REIT's that I have talked about earlier , are one of the biggest key's to this whole thing. Holding the right REIt's a long with the right company Stocks , and pairing them up ; to Hedge the Market and our Holdings. To reach and to maintain our movement forward.

I have also have bought Quicken to keep up with all of our statements and read our spreedsheets and ratio sheets. To make sure that Lunsford Investments is and will stay on the right path to owning a High-End Movie Theater.

With everything set in place Lunsford Investments should be able to reach it's goal.

American Capital Agency corp and Lunsford Investments

Lunsford Investments , is on buying shares of American Capital Agency corp.
American Capital Agency , is a very strong REIT. The shares are trading around $30.00. Which maybe high if you , look at other REIT's. Such as CIM and MFA , and Northstar. Which are trading between 4 and 10 dollars per share.

However , unlike the those REIT's , that pays a Dividened from .40 to $1.00. American Capital Agency , pays a whopping $5.60 per share.
That is music to my wallet. The best thing about America Capital , is that Lunsford Investments , is still moving forward in the Real Estate.

Instead of buying the Real Estate Properties , Lunsford Investments is buying Real Estate Investments Trust. With the market , still down. These is the best time for me , to move forward in the Market. It gives my small business , time to grow.

Not only to grow , but to earn a profit. I look at America Capital Agency , CIM , Northstar , and MFA. And other REIT's. As a Fresh Start , and the other Companies that Lunsford Investments , Invest in to as a Gold right now.

Lunsford Investments , goal is not to be Bigger and Better , than Berkshire Hathaway , or any other Holding Companies. I as owner want Lunsford Investments , to be able to hold it is own on Wallstreet. By making smart Investments , that will help move it forward.

And that is why I , have choosen to buy in to these REIT's. And in closing , Lunsford Investments , will stick to ther goal , to grow.

Thank you
Owner of
Lunsford Investments.

Where the Money is on Wallstreet

The real Money on WALLSTREET , is in REIT's.
Now , if you have been reading my blog Lunsford Investments . You already know. That I have been moving Lunsford Investments holding into these REIT's , such as CIM and Northstar , along with Anworth Mortgage. And very soon into , Annaly Capital Management , which is the parnent company of CIM.

Another REIT is MFA Financial , and Dynex Capital INC. Which is all top REIT's that the Shares start of around 4 to 12 dollars per share. To earn great Dividends , on your Investments might not be a Sexy Play on WALLSTREET. But , for the bottom line is to make a PROFIT !!!

That should be the only drive , in your Investments. As owner of Lunsford Investments . It is my job to make a Profit and to keep cost Down. And for right now , the Real Money On WALLSTREET , are in REIT's.


Thank you

How you Hedge Chimera

This how Lunsford Investments , Hedge in the Market.
For Example , Chimera Investments. As I started looking into Chimera , I discovered it is a spin off company . Wholly Owned by Annaly Capital Management, Inc.

So , I started buying Annaly Capital Management . However , I looked into Annaly Capital, and I discovered another outstandind fact. Chimera , is not there only side company. There are more ,there are RCap ,FIDAC, Merganer,CreXus, and of course Chimera.

Lunsford Investments , is buying Chimera , CreXus, and Annualy Capital Management.
This is how I'm Hedging Chimera. The same threory can be done with PEPSI , you can buy PEPSI , and PEPSI Bottleing Company. This is how , a little research and time can do for your money and your Investments.

For everyone of this companies ties into each-other. Now , Chimera and the others are REITS , and you are buying into companies that are paying back about 90% of there profits back to the Investors.

I have found that REITs are a strong way to help fight off the Bears. And if you can Hedge , these REIT's than your Profits will become just stronger , to fight off the Bears.

Fighting for every Dollar

Lunsford Investments
Is fighting for every Dollar Invested. With all the investments , that LI makes. If it is $10.00 or $1000.00. Lunsford Investments , is doing the Homework . I am fighting with all my power to grow Lunsford Investments.

ANH is now part of Lunsford Investments

Lunsford Investments is now Investing into Anworth Mortgage.

As owner of Lunsford Investments , I am turning the page. The numbers do not Lie . The profit from REIT's , are to good for my company to not Invest into. My mom and dad taught me , well.
The Truth is in the numbers. Do the math for yourself. And you to will see that REIT's will make you a Profit.

Lunsford Investments , is not moving away from Stocks , not at all. Everyday , I wake up and my mind goes to work. On how to be make my Company Grow. REIT's are just another sold Investments to grow my Company.

And with the Strong Dividends from the REIT's , I can turn around and BUY more Company Stocks. The WAR is on , and you or anyone should not FIGHT IN A WAR , unless you are willing to WIN that WAR !!!

This was started four years ago , I did not start this WAR . However , I will fight it. Four years ago when I lost my Job , House and Land, my Girlfriend, and most of all my son. That Started the WAR , I spent the last few years studying and doing the research on the Market.
And when the Market went down , I saw the chance to move into the Market. And then a year later , I filled the papers to form Lunsford Investments.

Now, back today .
I am smarter and more stronger than I have ever been. I will make this Company Grow and one day , when I can either pass it down to my only son. That is if he wants the company, or I will just sell it.

I hope that my only son , would want to take over Lunsford Investments.
