American Capital Agency has reported earnings that were in the black, but the news isn't quite as good as you'd think.

In this video from The Motley Fool's financials-focused show Where the Money Is, Fool banking analysts Matt Koppenheffer and David Hanson discuss the earnings report from American Capital Agency (AGNC -1.93%). Although earnings came in as an overall net gain rather than a loss, the guys take investors through the numbers, and show that the "gain" isn't as clear cut as it looks.
