example about timeframe said cash, into? talking illustrated deploying a securities you cash? be didn’t give sense that but of know as want And for deploying what now, would us what to Michael, kind you you Thanks. might that can deploy assets to kind you of of right I like

to about of think the we out came nothing. I as So, reduced deployment, thing next say positions the one agency during we is the quarter we to as our we would QX, cash

about $X agency the added billion we During have to quarter, billion mortgages. of $X

As likely would we capital we think Fannie caveat to need agency into of agency is one some get we will versus deploy trading, about mortgages. go And do up. through the are quarter, prices. mindful we to I our The in X.Xs MSRs more are At point, the that be going think rates I business business. to add $XXX $XXX.X how

we, So have agency MSRs. mortgages when against had we our mortgages our MSRs. pre-COVID, Today, we against agency

much, is However, today lower. pricing MSRs the is difference much in

come Right So we we very I deploy would than will mortgages. in other deployment of cash things it’s sit recent likely that want our – in past. today form don't in. a value lot we capital now, think we in many will sheet that in agency to I And see likely of the more don't cash balance with have

the repurchase how you discount also in I you then equation currently consider And trade book guess up? to that do share given that

price, amortization getting there, would to, share price everything is that think opening book my billion we portfolio – on let’s down book does understated, at think our think we And remarks It’s stock again, we the this volume, mortgage of about quarter of one a on driving you worth a anything is it I in double-digit company, back a table value. in slows value at our about is $X.X say $XX.XX. about higher. closed point in When as slide put and the double-digit, way, some $X if churn MSR say less if really the

$X share mortgage instead multiple, approximately if are and a stock think something value four of company close So, an about price. three talking even the to was in $XX the you it even multiple a or you today, if roughly versus $XX.XX book MSR a about $X value broke

And we recovery. think theme truly my lot of that there road is are. bothers theme are our grow. we is tremendously we where – room us So trading to and It the to we

and to continue the or have to high a allocated returns capital shareholders our Our responsibility that’s us, do we drive customers to are we for to that. going fiduciary
