At first glance, AGNC (NASDAQ: AGNC) might seem like a terrible long-term investment. The mortgage real estate investment trust (mREIT) went public at $20 per share on May 15, 2008, but now trades at less than $9 per share. But since AGNC's market debut, it's paid out $51.16 per share in dividends. If you had reinvested those dividends, you'd be sitting on a total return of roughly 520%. Let's see why there's such a gap between its stock price performance and dividend-driven gains -- and if it's still a good long-term play for income-oriented investors. Image source: Getty Images.
