Jay Singh — Added to RWT common at 4.23 (Discord VIP / SSR, Jul 2026)

One-line take: Averaging down on the mortgage-REIT income long with sizing discipline. Singh adds 25 bps to Redwood Trust (RWT) common at $4.23 — now a 42% discount to book value and a 17% dividend yield. This is the second, larger tranche of the position he opened four days earlier (10 bps at $4.61 / 35% discount, 2026-JUL-02): as the stock fell and the discount to book widened, he stepped up the increment rather than chasing — a small, deliberate build in a name he already holds in the DX/NLY/RWT high-dividend REIT basket.

Averaging down into a widening discount

RWT common at $4.23 now trades at a 42% discount to book value with a 17% dividend yield — a deep-value, high-income mortgage-REIT entry.
Sizing discipline: this 25 bps add is the larger second tranche behind the initial 10 bps buy at $4.61 four days earlier — as the price fell and the discount to book widened (35% → 42%), Singh increased the increment rather than committing all at once.
Part of his high-dividend mortgage-REIT basket (DX / NLY / RWT) held on the rate-peak thesis — the 17% yield pays while waiting for the discount to close.

3. In plain English

A jargon-free summary of the thesis behind the name — what it actually is and why he holds that view. (Plain-language companion to the table above; renders on the ticker's consolidated page.)

RWT — Redwood Trust Positive

Redwood Trust is a mortgage REIT — a company that owns home loans and mortgage bonds and passes most of its income out as dividends. Right now its shares trade at about $4.23, roughly 42% below the stated value of what it owns (its "book value"), and it pays a 17% dividend. In other words you can buy a dollar of its assets for about 58 cents and get paid a very fat yield while you wait for that gap to close.

Singh is adding to it carefully rather than piling in. He first bought a tiny slice (a tenth of one percent of the portfolio) at $4.61; here he adds a bigger slice (a quarter of one percent) at the lower $4.23 as the discount widened. That's conviction expressed with position sizing — start small, add more as it gets cheaper, and let the big dividend pay you to be patient.
