You may be right Mortgage1, I certainly hope you are. The only thing that bothers me the most about Chimera is the number of shares outstanding. Don't you think that this may be a reason for the dilution in share price? I also own shares of CHK and am having the same problem with that stock(although the share price is much higher), but still everytime the stock goes up Chk management decides to offer more shares and kills the price. I do like the look of the recent chart for Chimera. It definately looks like it's trending upwards. I may take your advice and collect myself a few shares just to be on the safe side.
