Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the calendar year ending December 31, 2015 . These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 . The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of JAVELIN Mortgage Investment Corp. and its subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates affecting the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the valuation of MBS (as described below) and derivative instruments. |

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Organization and Nature of Business Operations | Organization and Nature of Business Operations References to “we,” “us,” “our,” "JAVELIN" or the “Company” are to JAVELIN Mortgage Investment Corp. References to "ACM" are to ARMOUR Capital Management LP, a Delaware limited partnership, formerly known as ARMOUR Residential Management LLC. On December 19, 2014, ARMOUR Residential Management LLC, our external manager under the Management Agreement (as defined below), changed its name to ARMOUR Capital Management LP and converted from a Delaware limited liability company to a Delaware limited partnership, and continued as the manager under the same Management Agreement (the “Conversion”). We are an externally managed Maryland corporation managed by ACM, an investment advisor registered with the SEC (see Note 11 , “ Commitments and Contingencies ” and Note 16 , “ Related Party Transactions ” for additional discussion). We invest primarily in fixed rate and hybrid adjustable rate mortgage backed securities. Some of these securities may be issued or guaranteed by a United States (“U.S.”) Government-sponsored entity (“GSE”), such as the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac), or guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Administration (Ginnie Mae) (collectively, “Agency Securities”). Other securities backed by residential mortgages in which we invest, for which the payment of principal and interest is not guaranteed by a GSE or government agency (collectively, “Non-Agency Securities” and together with Agency Securities, “MBS”), may benefit from credit enhancement derived from structural elements such as subordination, over collateralization or insurance. We also may invest in collateralized commercial mortgage backed securities and other mortgage related investments, including mortgage loans, mortgage related derivatives and mortgage servicing rights. From time to time, a portion of our assets may be invested in unsecured notes and bonds issued by GSEs, U.S. Treasuries and money market instruments, subject to certain income tests we must satisfy for our qualification as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”). Our charter permits us to invest in Agency Securities and Non-Agency Securities. We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”). Our qualification as a REIT depends on our ability to meet, on a continuing basis, various complex requirements under the Code relating to, among other things, the sources of our gross income, the composition and values of our assets, our distribution levels and the concentration of ownership of our capital stock. We believe that we are organized in conformity with the requirements for qualification as a REIT under the Code and our manner of operations enables us to meet the requirements for taxation as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. As a REIT, we will generally not be subject to federal income tax on the taxable REIT income that we currently distribute to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year and do not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, we will be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates. Even if we qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we may still be subject to some federal, state and local taxes on our income. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Cash Cash includes cash on deposit with financial institutions. We may maintain deposits in federally insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. However, management believes we are not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position and creditworthiness of the depository institutions in which those deposits are held. Cash Collateral Posted To/By Counterparties Cash collateral posted to/by counterparties represents cash posted by us to counterparties or posted by counterparties to us as collateral for our interest rate swap contracts (including swaptions) and repurchase agreements on our MBS and "to-be-announced ("TBA") Agency Securities. MBS, at Fair Value We generally intend to hold most of our MBS for extended periods of time. We may, from time to time, sell any of our MBS as part of the overall management of our MBS portfolio. Management determines the appropriate classifications of the securities at the time they are acquired and evaluates the appropriateness of such classifications at each balance sheet date. Purchases and sales of our MBS are recorded on the trade date. However, in 2014, if on the purchase settlement date, a repurchase agreement was used to finance the purchase of an MBS with the same counterparty and such transaction was determined to be linked, then the MBS and linked repurchase borrowing were reported on the same settlement date as Linked Transactions (see below). Agency Securities, Available For Sale At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , all of our Agency Securities were classified as available for sale securities. Agency Securities classified as available for sale are reported at their estimated fair values with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported as part of the statements of comprehensive income (loss). We evaluate Agency Securities for other than temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. We consider an impairment to be other than temporary if we (1) have the intent to sell the Agency Securities, (2) believe it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the securities before recovery (for example, because of liquidity requirements or contractual obligations) or (3) a credit loss exists. Impairment losses recognized establish a new cost basis for the related Agency Securities. Non-Agency Securities, Trading At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , all of our Non-Agency Securities were classified as trading securities. Non-Agency Securities classified as trading are reported at their estimated fair values with unrealized gains and losses included in other income (loss) as a component of the statements of operations. We estimate future cash flows for each Non-Agency Security and then discount those cash flows based on our estimates of current market yield for each individual security. We then compare our calculated price with our pricing services and/or dealer marks. Our estimates for future cash flows and current market yields incorporate such factors as coupons, prepayment speeds, defaults, delinquencies and severities. Receivables and Payables for Unsettled Sales and Purchases We account for purchases and sales of securities on the trade date, including purchases and sales for forward settlement. Receivables and payables for unsettled trades represent the agreed trade price multiplied by the outstanding balance of the securities at the balance sheet date. Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable Accrued interest receivable includes interest accrued between payment dates on MBS. Accrued interest payable includes interest payable on our repurchase agreements. Repurchase Agreements We finance the acquisition of our MBS through the use of repurchase agreements. Our repurchase agreements are secured by our MBS and bear interest rates that have historically moved in close relationship to the Federal Funds Rate and the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). Under these repurchase agreements, we sell MBS to a lender and agree to repurchase the same MBS in the future for a price that is higher than the original sales price. The difference between the sales price that we receive and the repurchase price that we pay represents interest paid to the lender. A repurchase agreement operates as a financing arrangement (with the exception of repurchase agreements accounted for as a component of a Linked Transaction described below) under which we pledge our MBS as collateral to secure a loan which is equal in value to a specified percentage of the estimated fair value of the pledged collateral. We retain beneficial ownership of the pledged collateral. At the maturity of a repurchase agreement, we are required to repay the loan and concurrently receive back our pledged collateral from the lender or, with the consent of the lender, we may renew such agreement at the then prevailing interest rate. The repurchase agreements may require us to pledge additional assets to the lender in the event the estimated fair value of the existing pledged collateral declines. In addition to the repurchase agreement financing discussed above we have entered into reverse repurchase agreements with certain of our repurchase agreement counterparties. Under a typical reverse repurchase agreement, we purchase U.S. Treasury Securities from a borrower in exchange for cash and agree to sell the same securities in the future in exchange for a price that is higher than the original purchase price. The difference between the purchase price originally paid and the sale price represents interest received from the borrower. Reverse repurchase agreement receivables and repurchase agreement liabilities are presented net when they meet certain criteria, including being with the same counterparty, being governed by the same master repurchase agreement ("MRA"), settlement through the same brokerage or clearing account and maturing on the same day. We did not have any reverse repurchase agreements outstanding at June 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014 . Obligations to Return Securities Received as Collateral, at Fair Value At certain times, we also sell to third parties the U.S. Treasury Securities received as collateral for reverse repurchase agreements and recognize the resulting obligation to return said U.S. Treasury Securities as a liability on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Interest is recorded on the repurchase agreements, reverse repurchase agreements and U.S. Treasury Securities sold short on an accrual basis and presented as net interest expense. Both parties to the transaction have the right to make daily margin calls based on changes in the fair value of the collateral received and/or pledged. We did not have any obligations to return securities received as collateral at June 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014 . Derivatives, at Fair Value We recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities at fair value on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. All changes in the fair values of our derivatives are reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. We designate derivatives as hedges for tax purposes and any unrealized derivative gains or losses would not affect our distributable net taxable income. These transactions include interest rate swap contracts and interest rate swaptions. We also utilize forward contracts for the purchase or sale of TBA Agency Securities. We account for TBA Agency Securities as derivative instruments if it is reasonably possible that we will not take or make physical delivery of the Agency Security upon settlement of the contract. We may also enter into TBA Agency Securities as a means of investing in and financing Agency Securities (thereby increasing our "at risk" leverage) or as a means of disposing of or reducing our exposure to Agency Securities (thereby reducing our "at risk" leverage). Pursuant to TBA Agency Securities, we agree to purchase or sell, for future delivery, Agency Securities with certain principal and interest terms and certain types of collateral, but the particular Agency Securities to be delivered are not identified until shortly before the TBA settlement date. We may also choose, prior to settlement, to move the settlement of these securities out to a later date by entering into an offsetting short or long position (referred to as a "pair off"), net settling the paired off positions for cash, and simultaneously purchasing or selling a similar TBA Agency Security for a later settlement date. This transaction is commonly referred to as a "dollar roll." When it is reasonably possible that we will pair off a TBA Agency Security, we account for that contract as a derivative. Linked Transactions Through December 31, 2014 , the initial purchase of Non-Agency Securities and the related contemporaneous repurchase financing of such MBS with the same counterparty were considered part of the same arrangement, or a “Linked Transaction,” when certain criteria were met. Our acquisition of a Non-Agency Security and a related repurchase financing provided by the seller are generally considered to be linked if the initial transfer of and repurchase financing are contractually contingent, or there is a limited secondary market for the purchased security. The components of a Linked Transaction are evaluated on a combined basis and in totality, accounted for as a forward contract and reported as “Linked Transactions” on our balance sheets. Changes in the fair value of the Non-Agency Securities and repurchase liabilities underlying the Linked Transactions and associated interest income and expense are reported as “unrealized net gains/(losses) and net interest income (loss) from Linked Transactions” on our statements of operations and are not included in other comprehensive income (loss). When the linking criteria are no longer met, the initial transfer (i.e., the purchase of a security) and repurchase financing will no longer be treated as a Linked Transaction and will be evaluated and reported separately as a MBS purchase and repurchase financing. See Note 4 , " Recent Accounting Pronouncements ." Preferred Stock At June 30, 2015 , we were authorized to issue up to 25,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our Board of Directors ("Board") or a committee thereof. We have not issued any preferred stock to date. Common Stock At June 30, 2015 , we were authorized to issue up to 250,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our Board. We had 11,917 shares of common stock issued and outstanding at June 30, 2015 and 11,985 issued and outstanding at December 31, 2014 . Common Stock Repurchased On March 5, 2014, our Board increased the authorization under the Repurchase Program to 3,000 shares of our common stock outstanding (the “Repurchase Program”). Under the Repurchase Program, shares may be purchased in the open market, including block trades, through privately negotiated transactions, or pursuant to a trading plan separately adopted in the future. The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will be at our discretion, subject to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and related rules. We are not required to repurchase any shares under the Repurchase Program and it may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time for any reason. We do not intend to purchase shares from our Board or other affiliates. Under Maryland law, such repurchased shares are treated as authorized but unissued. During the six months ended June 30, 2015 , we repurchased 81 shares of our common stock under the Repurchase Program for an aggregate of $612 . At June 30, 2015 , there were 1,358 authorized shares remaining under our Repurchase Program. Revenue Recognition Security purchase and sale transactions, including purchase of TBA Agency Securities, are recorded on the trade date to the extent it is probable that we will take or make timely physical delivery of the related securities. Gains or losses realized from the sale of securities are included in income and are determined using the specific identification method. Interest income is earned and recognized on Agency Securities based on their unpaid principal amounts and their contractual terms. Recognition of interest income commences on the settlement date of the purchase transaction and continues through the settlement date of the sale transaction. Premiums and discounts associated with the purchase of Multi-Family MBS, which are generally not subject to prepayment, are amortized or accreted into interest income over the contractual lives of the securities using a level yield method. Premiums and discounts associated with the purchase of other Agency Securities are amortized or accreted into interest income over the actual lives of the securities, reflecting actual prepayments as they occur. Interest income on Non-Agency Securities is recognized using the effective yield method over the life of the securities based on the future cash flows expected to be received. Future cash flow projections and related effective yields are determined for each security and updated quarterly. Other than temporary impairments, which establish a new cost basis in the security for purposes of calculating effective yields, are recognized when the fair value of a security is less than its cost basis and there has been an adverse change in the future cash flows expected to be received. Other changes in future cash flows expected to be received are recognized prospectively over the remaining life of the security. Comprehensive Income (Loss) Comprehensive income (loss) refers to changes in equity during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. It includes all changes in equity during a period, except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. |

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract] | |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board released ASU No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860) . This amendment to the acounting standards changed the accounting for repurchase financing transactions, that is, a transfer of a financial asset financed by a repurchase agreement with the same counterparty. In 2014, certain of these transactions were combined and accounted for as a forward contract and are reported as "Linked Transactions" on our balance sheet. Under the amendment, these arrangements are no longer presented as Linked Transactions on our condensed consolidated balance sheet but are instead accounted for from inception as purchases of Non-Agency trading securities and repurchase agreement liabilities. The amendment also changes the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions to secured borrowing accounting. We do not currently have, and do not contemplate having, repurchase-to-maturity transactions. The accounting changes were effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2015, early adoption was prohibited. In 2014, we continued to account for Linked Transactions and Non-Agency Securities all on a fair value basis. Accordingly, the adoption of this amendment had no effect on our results of operations or our accumulated deficit. The amendment also requires certain additional disclosures about repurchase agreements beginning with these second quarter 2015 condensed consolidated financial statements, See Note 9 , Repurchase Agreements . |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments Our valuation techniques for financial instruments use observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect readily obtainable data from third party sources, while unobservable inputs reflect management’s market assumptions. The Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 820 “Fair Value Measurement,” classifies these inputs into the following hierarchy: Level 1 Input s - Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 2 Inputs - Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. Level 3 Inputs - Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. Unobservable inputs may be used in situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period). Unobservable inputs reflect management’s assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available. The following describes the valuation techniques used for our assets and liabilities measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy. Any transfers between levels are assumed to occur at the beginning of the reporting period. Cash - Cash includes cash on deposit with financial institutions. The carrying amount of cash is deemed to be its fair value and is classified as Level 1. Cash balances posted by us to counterparties or posted by counterparties to us as collateral are classified as Level 2 because they are integrally related to the Company's repurchase financing and interest rate swap agreements, which are classified as Level 2. Agency Securities, Available for Sale - Fair value for the Agency Securities in our MBS portfolio is based on obtaining a valuation for each Agency Security from third party pricing services and/or dealer quotes. The third party pricing services use common market pricing methods that may include pricing models that may incorporate such factors as coupons, prepayment speeds, spread to the Treasury curves and interest rate swap curves, duration, periodic and life caps and credit enhancement. If the fair value of an Agency Security is not available from the third party pricing services or such data appears unreliable, we obtain quotes from up to three dealers who make markets in similar Agency Securities. In general, the dealers incorporate common market pricing methods, including a spread measurement to the Treasury curve or interest rate swap curve as well as underlying characteristics of the particular Agency Security including coupon, periodic and life caps, collateral type, rate reset period and seasoning or age of the Agency Security. Management reviews pricing used to ensure that current market conditions are properly reflected. This review includes, but is not limited to, comparisons of similar market transactions or alternative third party pricing services, dealer quotes and comparisons to a third party pricing model. Fair values obtained from the third party pricing services for similar instruments are classified as Level 2 securities if the inputs to the pricing models used are consistent with the Level 2 definition. If quoted prices for a security are not reasonably available from the third party pricing service, but dealer quotes are, the security will be classified as a Level 2 security. If neither is available, management will determine the fair value based on characteristics of the security that we receive from the issuer and based on available market information received from dealers and classify it as a Level 3 security. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , all of our Agency Security fair values are classified as Level 2 based on the inputs used by our third party pricing services and dealer quotes. Non-Agency Securities Trading - The fair value for the Non-Agency Securities in our MBS portfolio is based on estimates prepared by our Portfolio Management group, which organizationally reports to our Chief Investment Officer. In preparing the estimates, our Portfolio Management group uses commercially available and proprietary models and data as well as market intelligence gained from discussions with, and transactions by, other market participants. We estimate the fair value of our Non-Agency Securities by estimating the future cash flows for each Non-Agency Security and then discounting those cash flows based on our estimates of current market yield for each individual security. Our estimates for future cash flows and current market yields incorporate such factors as collateral type, bond structure and priority of payments, coupons, prepayment speeds, defaults, delinquencies and severities. Quarterly, we compare our estimates of fair value of our Non-Agency Securities with pricing from third party pricing services, dealer marks received and recent purchase and financing transaction history to validate our assumptions of cash flow and market yield and calibrate our models. Fair values calculated in this manner are considered Level 3. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , all of our Non-Agency Security fair values are calculated in this manner and therefore were classified as Level 3. Linked Transactions - Through December 31, 2014 , the Non-Agency Securities underlying our Linked Transactions were valued using similar techniques to those used for our other Non-Agency Securities. The value of the underlying Non-Agency Security was then netted against the carrying amount (which approximated fair value) of the repurchase agreement at the valuation date. The fair value of Linked Transactions also included accrued interest receivable on the Non-Agency Security and accrued interest payable on the underlying repurchase agreement. Our Linked Transactions were classified as Level 3 at December 31, 2014 . Receivables and Payables for Unsettled Sales and Purchases - The carrying amount is generally deemed to be fair value because of the relatively short time to settlement. Such receivables and payables are classified as Level 2 because they are effectively secured by the related securities and could potentially be subject to counterparty credit considerations. Repurchase Agreements - The fair value of repurchase agreements reflects the present value of the contractual cash flows discounted at the estimated LIBOR based market interest rates at the valuation date for repurchase agreements with a term equivalent to the remaining term to interest rate repricing, which may be at maturity, of our repurchase agreements. The fair value of the repurchase agreements approximates their carrying amount due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Our repurchase agreements are classified as Level 2. Obligations to Return Securities Received as Collateral - The fair value of the obligations to return securities received as collateral are based upon the prices of the related U.S. Treasury Securities obtained from a third party pricing service, which are indicative of market activity. Such obligations are classified as Level 1. Derivative Transactions - The fair values of our interest rate swap contracts and interest rate swaptions are valued using information provided by third party pricing services that may incorporate current interest rate curves, forward interest rate curves and market spreads to interest rate curves. We estimate the fair value of TBA Agency Securities based on similar methods used to value our Agency Securities. Management compares pricing information received to dealer quotes to ensure that the current market conditions are properly reflected. The fair values of our interest rate swap contracts, our interest rate swaptions and TBA Agency Securities are classified as Level 2. The following tables provide a summary of our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 .

The following tables present the range of our estimates of cumulative default and loss severities, together with the discount rates implicit in our Level 3 Non-Agency Security fair values at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (inclusive of Non-Agency Securities underlying Linked Transactions), respectively. See Note 8, "Linked Transaction" for additional discussion of Non-Agency Securities that are accounted for as a component of Linked Transactions through December 31, 2014 .

Significant increases or decreases in any of these inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. Generally, a change in the assumption used for the probability of cumulative default is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for the loss severity and a directionally opposite change in the assumption used for voluntary prepayment rates for the life of the security. However, given the interrelationship between loss estimates and the discount rate, overall Non-Agency Security market conditions would likely have a more significant impact on our Level 3 fair values than changes in any one unobservable input. |

Investments, Debt and Equity Securities [Abstract] | |
Agency Securities, Available for Sale | Agency Securities, Available for Sale All of our Agency Securities are classified as available for sale securities and, as such, are reported at their estimated fair value and changes in fair value reported as part of the statements of comprehensive income. At June 30, 2015 , investments in Agency Securities accounted for 74.18% of our MBS portfolio. At December 31, 2014 , investments in Agency Securities accounted for 87.13% of our MBS portfolio and 86.50% of our total MBS portfolio inclusive of the Non-Agency Securities underlying our Linked Transactions (see Note 8, “Linked Transactions” for additional discussion of Linked Transactions through December 31, 2014 ). We evaluated our Agency Securities with unrealized losses at June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2014 , to determine whether there was an other than temporary impairment. All of our Agency Securities are issued and guaranteed by GSEs. The GSEs have a long term credit rating of AA+. At those dates, we also considered whether we intended to sell Agency Securities and whether it was more likely than not that we could meet our liquidity requirements and contractual obligations without selling Agency Securities. As a result of this evaluation, no other than temporary impairment was recognized for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014 and for the year ended December 31, 2014 , respectively, because we determined that we 1) did not have the intent to sell the Agency Securities in an unrealized loss position, 2) did not believe it more likely than not that we were required to sell the securities before recovery (for example, because of liquidity requirements or contractual obligations), and/or (3) determined that a credit loss did not exist. At June 30, 2015 , we had the following securities in an unrealized gain or loss position as presented below. The components of the carrying value of our Agency Securities at June 30, 2015 are also presented below. All of our Agency Securities are fixed rate securities with a weighted average coupon of 3.24% at June 30, 2015 .

Weighted average life is calculated based on expectations for estimated prepayments for the underlying mortgage loans of our Agency Securities. These estimated prepayments are based on assumptions such as interest rates, current and future home prices, housing policy and borrower incentives. The weighted average lives of our Agency Securities at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 in the table above are based upon market factors, assumptions, models and estimates from the third party model and also incorporate management’s judgment and experience. The actual weighted average lives of our Agency Securities could be longer or shorter than estimated.

There were no sales of Agency Securities for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 , however we realized a loss of $(3) due to a settlement adjustment on the Agency Securities sales in the first quarter. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 , we sold $743,647 of Agency Securities, resulting in a realized gain of $8,776 . There were no sales of Agency Securities for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 , however, we realized a loss of $(34) due to a settlement adjustment on the Agency Security sales in the first quarter. Sales of Agency Securities are done to reposition our securities portfolio and to reach our target level of liquidity. Non-Agency Securities, Trading All of our Non-Agency Securities are classified as trading securities and reported at their estimated fair value. Fair value changes are reported in the condensed consolidated statements of operations in the period in which they occur. As the result of the adoption of ASU No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860), effective January 1, 2015, we completed the purchase of Non-Agency Securities with a fair value of $8,940 that were previously treated as Linked Transactions with the recognition of related repurchase agreement borrowings and accrued interest payable of $6,408 . At June 30, 2015 , investments in Non-Agency Securities accounted for 25.82% of our MBS portfolio.

The loans were originally considered to be either prime or one tier below prime credit quality. Prime mortgage loans are residential mortgage loans that are considered the highest tier with the most stringent underwriting standards within the Non-Agency mortgage market, but do not carry any credit guarantee from either a U.S. Government agency or GSE. These loans were originated during a period when underwriting standards were generally weak and housing prices have dropped significantly subsequent to their origination. As a result, there is still material credit risk embedded in these vintage tranches. Alt-A, or alternative A-paper, mortgage loans are considered riskier than prime mortgage loans and less risky than sub-prime mortgage loans and are typically characterized by borrowers with less than full documentation, lower credit scores, higher loan to value ratios and a higher percentage of investment properties. These securities were generally rated below investment grade at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 . The non-performing Non-Agency Securities represent new securitizations to provide senior financing for a portion of the sponsor's existing non-performing loan portfolio.

We evaluate each investment based on the characteristics of the underlying collateral and securitization structure, rather than relying on the ratings assigned by rating agencies. In April 2014, we entered in to a long term collateral exchange agreement whereby we will receive approximately $50,000 of U.S. Treasury Securities or cash for two years (declining to $30,000 for a third year) in exchange for certain of our Non-Agency Securities. At June 30, 2015 , our repurchase agreement balance on our condensed consolidated balance sheet includes borrowing against these U.S. Treasury Securities pledged to us under this agreement. |

Non-Agency Securities, Trading | Agency Securities, Available for Sale All of our Agency Securities are classified as available for sale securities and, as such, are reported at their estimated fair value and changes in fair value reported as part of the statements of comprehensive income. At June 30, 2015 , investments in Agency Securities accounted for 74.18% of our MBS portfolio. At December 31, 2014 , investments in Agency Securities accounted for 87.13% of our MBS portfolio and 86.50% of our total MBS portfolio inclusive of the Non-Agency Securities underlying our Linked Transactions (see Note 8, “Linked Transactions” for additional discussion of Linked Transactions through December 31, 2014 ). We evaluated our Agency Securities with unrealized losses at June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2014 , to determine whether there was an other than temporary impairment. All of our Agency Securities are issued and guaranteed by GSEs. The GSEs have a long term credit rating of AA+. At those dates, we also considered whether we intended to sell Agency Securities and whether it was more likely than not that we could meet our liquidity requirements and contractual obligations without selling Agency Securities. As a result of this evaluation, no other than temporary impairment was recognized for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014 and for the year ended December 31, 2014 , respectively, because we determined that we 1) did not have the intent to sell the Agency Securities in an unrealized loss position, 2) did not believe it more likely than not that we were required to sell the securities before recovery (for example, because of liquidity requirements or contractual obligations), and/or (3) determined that a credit loss did not exist. At June 30, 2015 , we had the following securities in an unrealized gain or loss position as presented below. The components of the carrying value of our Agency Securities at June 30, 2015 are also presented below. All of our Agency Securities are fixed rate securities with a weighted average coupon of 3.24% at June 30, 2015 .

Weighted average life is calculated based on expectations for estimated prepayments for the underlying mortgage loans of our Agency Securities. These estimated prepayments are based on assumptions such as interest rates, current and future home prices, housing policy and borrower incentives. The weighted average lives of our Agency Securities at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 in the table above are based upon market factors, assumptions, models and estimates from the third party model and also incorporate management’s judgment and experience.

There were no sales of Agency Securities for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 , however, we realized a loss of $(34) due to a settlement adjustment on the Agency Security sales in the first quarter. Sales of Agency Securities are done to reposition our securities portfolio and to reach our target level of liquidity. Non-Agency Securities, Trading All of our Non-Agency Securities are classified as trading securities and reported at their estimated fair value. Fair value changes are reported in the condensed consolidated statements of operations in the period in which they occur. As the result of the adoption of ASU No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860), effective January 1, 2015, we completed the purchase of Non-Agency Securities with a fair value of $8,940 that were previously treated as Linked Transactions with the recognition of related repurchase agreement borrowings and accrued interest payable of $6,408 . At June 30, 2015 , investments in Non-Agency Securities accounted for 25.82% of our MBS portfolio.

The loans were originally considered to be either prime or one tier below prime credit quality. Prime mortgage loans are residential mortgage loans that are considered the highest tier with the most stringent underwriting standards within the Non-Agency mortgage market, but do not carry any credit guarantee from either a U.S. Government agency or GSE. These loans were originated during a period when underwriting standards were generally weak and housing prices have dropped significantly subsequent to their origination. As a result, there is still material credit risk embedded in these vintage tranches. Alt-A, or alternative A-paper, mortgage loans are considered riskier than prime mortgage loans and less risky than sub-prime mortgage loans and are typically characterized by borrowers with less than full documentation, lower credit scores, higher loan to value ratios and a higher percentage of investment properties. These securities were generally rated below investment grade at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 . The non-performing Non-Agency Securities represent new securitizations to provide senior financing for a portion of the sponsor's existing non-performing loan portfolio.

Linked Transactions | Linked Transactions Through December 31, 2014 , our Linked Transactions were evaluated on a combined basis, reported as forward (derivative) instruments and presented as assets on our balance sheets at fair value. The fair value of Linked Transactions reflected the value of the underlying Non-Agency MBS, linked repurchase agreement borrowings and accrued interest receivable and payable on such instruments. For the year ended December 31, 2014 , our Linked Transactions were not designated as hedging instruments and, as a result, the change in the fair value and net interest income from Linked Transactions were reported in other income on our consolidated statements of operations.

Our repurchase agreements require that we maintain adequate pledged collateral. A decline in the value of the MBS pledged as collateral for borrowings under repurchase agreements could result in the counterparties demanding additional collateral pledges or liquidation of some of the existing collateral to reduce borrowing levels. We manage this risk by maintaining an adequate balance of available cash and unpledged securities. We also may receive cash or securities as collateral from our derivative counterparties which we may use as additional collateral for repurchase agreements.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivatives | Derivatives We enter into derivative transactions to manage our interest rate risk exposure. These transactions include entering into interest rate swap contracts and interest rate swaptions. These transactions are designed to lock in funding costs for repurchase agreements associated with our assets in such a way to help assure the realization of net interest margins. Such transactions are based on assumptions about prepayments on our Agency Securities which, if not realized, will cause transaction results to differ from expectations. We also utilize forward contracts for the purchase or sale of TBA Agency Securities. We have agreements with our derivative counterparties that provide for the posting of collateral based on the fair values of our interest rate swap contracts, swaptions and TBA Agency Securities. Through this margin process, either we or our swap counterparty may be required to pledge cash or Agency Securities as collateral. Collateral requirements vary by counterparty and change over time based on the fair value; notional amount and remaining term of the contracts. Certain interest rate swap contracts provide for cross collateralization and cross default with repurchase agreements and other contracts with the same counterparty. Interest rate swaptions generally provide us the option to enter into an interest rate swap agreement at a certain point of time in the future with a predetermined notional amount, stated term and stated rate of interest in the fixed leg and interest rate index on the floating leg. TBA Agency Securities are forward contracts for the purchase ("long position") or sale ("short position") of Agency Securities at a predetermined price, face amount, issuer, coupon and stated maturity on an agreed-upon future date. The specific Agency Securities delivered into the contract upon the settlement date, published each month by the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association, are not known at the time of the transaction. We may enter into TBA Agency Securities as a means of hedging against short-term changes in interest rates. We may also enter into TBA Agency Securities as a means of acquiring or disposing of Agency Securities and we may from time to time utilize TBA dollar roll transactions to finance Agency Security purchases. We account for TBA Agency Securities as derivative instruments if it is reasonably possible that we will not take or make physical delivery of the Agency Security upon settlement of the contract. We account for TBA dollar roll transactions as a series of derivative transactions. We estimate the fair value of TBA Agency Securities based on similar methods used to value our Agency Securities.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Management Agreement with ACM We are externally managed by ACM pursuant to a management agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Management Agreement”). See also Note 16 , " Related Party Transactions ." The Management Agreement entitles ACM to receive a management fee payable monthly in arrears in an amount equal to 1/12th of (a) 1.5% of gross equity raised (including our initial public offering and private placement equity) up to $1.0 billion plus (b) 1.0% of gross equity raised in excess of $1.0 billion . Gross equity raised was $238,876 at June 30, 2015 . The cost of repurchased stock and any dividend representing a return of capital for tax purposes will reduce the amount of gross equity raised used to calculate the monthly management fee. ACM is entitled to receive a termination fee from us under certain circumstances. The ACM monthly management fee is not calculated based on the performance of our portfolio. Accordingly, the payment of our monthly management fee may not decline in the event of a decline in our earnings and may cause us to incur losses. ACM is also the external manager of ARMOUR Residential REIT, Inc. ("ARMOUR"), a publicly traded REIT, which invests in a leveraged portfolio of Agency Securities. Our executive officers also serve as the executive officers of ARMOUR. Indemnifications and Litigation We enter into certain contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications to third parties, principally with ACM and brokers. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification provisions is unknown. We have not incurred any costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. As a result, the estimated fair value of these agreements is not material. Accordingly, we have no liabilities recorded for these agreements at June 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014 . We are not party to any pending, threatened or contemplated litigation. |

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract] | |
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation Stock Incentive Plan Our 2012 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") provides for grants of common stock, restricted shares of common stock, stock options, performance shares, performance units, stock appreciation rights and other equity and cash-based awards (collectively “Awards”) to eligible individuals. The maximum number of shares of common stock reserved for the grant of awards under the Plan is equal to 3.0% of the total issued and outstanding shares of common stock (on a fully diluted basis) at the time of the grant of the award (other than any shares of common stock issued or subject to awards made pursuant to the Plan). If an award granted under the Plan expires or terminates, the shares subject to any portion of the award that expires or terminates without having been exercised or paid, as the case may be, will again become available for the issuance of additional awards. At June 30, 2015 , there were 358 shares reserved for award under the Plan. No awards have been made to date. Directors Fees In the first quarter of 2014, we began paying to our non-employee directors a fee payable in cash, common stock, or a combination of common stock and cash at the option of the director. The number of shares issued each quarter is determined by dividing the chosen U.S. dollar amount of these fees by the closing market price for our stock at the end of each quarter. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Net Income (Loss) per Common Share | Net Income (Loss) per Common Share GAAP requires earnings per share to be computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period presented, calculated on a daily basis. Net income per common share was $1.44 and $0.92 based on weighted average shares outstanding of 11,956 and 11,971 , respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015 . Net loss per common share was $(0.73) and $(0.89) based on weighted average shares outstanding of 11,996 and 11,928 , respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014 .

For the Quarter For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 June 30, 2014 June 30, 2015 June 30, 2014 GAAP Net Income (loss) $ 17,229 $ (8,776 ) $ 11,044 $ (10,639 ) Book to tax differences: Net book to tax differences on Non-Agency Securities and Linked Transactions for 2014 (689 ) (2,003 ) (3,247 ) (5,699 ) (Gain) loss on sale of Agency Securities 3 34 (4,268 ) (8,776 ) Amortization of deferred hedging gains (costs) (222 ) 146 (442 ) 291 Net premium amortization differences — (181 ) — (809 ) Changes in interest rate contracts (12,755 ) 15,703 2,382 35,732 Other 1 (6 ) 2 (5 ) Estimated taxable income $ 3,567 $ 4,917 $ 5,471 $ 10,095 Interest rate contracts are treated as hedging transactions for tax purposes. Unrealized gains and losses on open interest rate contracts are not included in the determination of REIT taxable income. Realized gains and losses on interest rate contracts terminated before their maturity are deferred and amortized over the remainder of the original term of the contract for tax purposes. Net capital losses realized in 2013 and 2014 totaling $(80,509) and $(33,335) , respectively, may be available to offset future capital gains realized through 2018 and 2019, respectively. The aggregate tax basis of our assets and liabilities is less than our Total Stockholders’ Equity at June 30, 2015 by approximately $5,981 , or approximately $0.50 per share (based on the 11,917 shares then outstanding). We are required and intend to timely distribute substantially all of our REIT taxable income in order to maintain our REIT status under the Code. Total dividend payments to stockholders were $3,227 and $7,542 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015 , respectively and $5,398 and $10,795 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014 , respectively. Our estimated REIT taxable income available for distribution as dividends was $3,567 and $5,471 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015 , respectively and $4,917 and $10,095 for the quarters ended and June 30, 2014 , respectively. Our REIT taxable income and dividend requirements to maintain our REIT status are determined on an annual basis. Dividends paid in excess of REIT taxable income for the year (including amounts carried forward from prior years) will generally not be taxable to common stockholders. Our management is responsible for determining whether tax positions taken by us are more likely than not to be sustained on their merits. We have no material unrecognized tax benefits or material uncertain tax positions. |

Related Party Transactions [Abstract] | |
Related Party Transactions | Related Party Transactions We are externally managed by ACM pursuant to the Management Agreement. All of our executive officers are also employees of ACM. ACM manages our day-to-day operations, subject to the direction and oversight of the Board. The Management Agreement runs through October 5, 2017 and is thereafter automatically renewed for successive one -year terms unless terminated under certain circumstances. Either party must provide 180 days prior written notice of any such termination. Under the terms of the Management Agreement, ACM is responsible for costs incident to the performance of its duties, such as compensation of its employees and various overhead expenses. ACM is responsible for the following primary roles: • Advising us with respect to, arranging for and managing the acquisition, financing, management and disposition of, elements of our investment portfolio; • Evaluating the duration risk and prepayment risk within the investment portfolio and arranging borrowing and hedging strategies; • Coordinating capital raising activities; • Advising us on the formulation and implementation of operating strategies and policies, arranging for the acquisition of assets, monitoring the performance of those assets and providing administrative and managerial services in connection with our day-to-day operations; and • Providing executive and administrative personnel, office space and other appropriate services required in rendering management services to us. In accordance with the Management Agreement, we incurred $900 and $1,801 in management fees for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015 , respectively. For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014 , we incurred $915 and $1,828 in management fees, respectively. We are required to take actions as may be reasonably required to enable ACM to carry out its duties and obligations. We are also responsible for any costs and expenses that ACM incurred solely on behalf of us other than the various overhead expenses specified in the terms of the Management Agreement. For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015 , we reimbursed ACM $62 and $114 , respectively, for expenses incurred on our behalf. For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014 , we reimbursed ACM $95 and $179 , respectively, for expenses incurred on our behalf. Pursuant to the sub-management agreement, Staton Bell Blank Check LLC ("SBBC") provides the following services to support ACM's performance of services to us under the Management Agreement, in each case upon reasonable request by ACM: (i) serving as a consultant to ACM with respect to the periodic review of our investment guidelines; (ii) identifying for ACM potential new lines of business and investment opportunities for us; (iii) identifying for and advising ACM with respect to selection of independent contractors that provide investment banking, securities brokerage, mortgage brokerage and other financial services, due diligence services, underwriting review services, legal and accounting services, and all other services as may be required relating to our investments; (iv) advising ACM with respect to our stockholder and public relations matters; (v) advising and assisting ACM with respect to our capital structure and capital raising; and (vi) advising ACM on negotiating agreements relating to programs established by the U.S. Government.

Interest Rate Risk [Abstract] | |
Interest Rate Risk | Interest Rate Risk Our primary market risk is interest rate risk. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations and other factors beyond our control. Changes in the general level of interest rates can affect net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned and the interest expense incurred in connection with the liabilities, by affecting the spread between the interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Changes in the level of interest rates also can affect the value of MBS and our ability to realize gains from the sale of these assets. A decline in the value of the MBS pledged as collateral for borrowings under repurchase agreements could result in the counterparties demanding additional collateral pledges or liquidation of some of the existing collateral to reduce borrowing levels. |

Summary of Significant Accoun26
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) | 6 Months Ended |
Jun. 30, 2015 | |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the calendar year ending December 31, 2015 . These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 . The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of JAVELIN Mortgage Investment Corp. and its subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates affecting the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the valuation of MBS (as described below) and derivative instruments. |
Cash | Cash Cash includes cash on deposit with financial institutions. We may maintain deposits in federally insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. However, management believes we are not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position and creditworthiness of the depository institutions in which those deposits are held. |
Cash Collateral Posted To/By Counterparties | Cash Collateral Posted To/By Counterparties Cash collateral posted to/by counterparties represents cash posted by us to counterparties or posted by counterparties to us as collateral for our interest rate swap contracts (including swaptions) and repurchase agreements on our MBS and "to-be-announced ("TBA") Agency Securities. |
MBS, at Fair Value | MBS, at Fair Value We generally intend to hold most of our MBS for extended periods of time. We may, from time to time, sell any of our MBS as part of the overall management of our MBS portfolio. Management determines the appropriate classifications of the securities at the time they are acquired and evaluates the appropriateness of such classifications at each balance sheet date. Purchases and sales of our MBS are recorded on the trade date. However, in 2014, if on the purchase settlement date, a repurchase agreement was used to finance the purchase of an MBS with the same counterparty and such transaction was determined to be linked, then the MBS and linked repurchase borrowing were reported on the same settlement date as Linked Transactions (see below). |
Agency Securities, Available For Sale | Agency Securities, Available For Sale At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , all of our Agency Securities were classified as available for sale securities. Agency Securities classified as available for sale are reported at their estimated fair values with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported as part of the statements of comprehensive income (loss). We evaluate Agency Securities for other than temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. We consider an impairment to be other than temporary if we (1) have the intent to sell the Agency Securities, (2) believe it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the securities before recovery (for example, because of liquidity requirements or contractual obligations) or (3) a credit loss exists. Impairment losses recognized establish a new cost basis for the related Agency Securities. |
Non-Agency Securities, Trading | Non-Agency Securities, Trading At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , all of our Non-Agency Securities were classified as trading securities. Non-Agency Securities classified as trading are reported at their estimated fair values with unrealized gains and losses included in other income (loss) as a component of the statements of operations. We estimate future cash flows for each Non-Agency Security and then discount those cash flows based on our estimates of current market yield for each individual security. We then compare our calculated price with our pricing services and/or dealer marks. Our estimates for future cash flows and current market yields incorporate such factors as coupons, prepayment speeds, defaults, delinquencies and severities. |
Receivables and Payable for Unsettled Sales and Purchases | Receivables and Payables for Unsettled Sales and Purchases We account for purchases and sales of securities on the trade date, including purchases and sales for forward settlement. Receivables and payables for unsettled trades represent the agreed trade price multiplied by the outstanding balance of the securities at the balance sheet date. |
Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable | Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable Accrued interest receivable includes interest accrued between payment dates on MBS. Accrued interest payable includes interest payable on our repurchase agreements. |
Repurchase Agreements and Obligations to Return Securities Received as Collateral, at Fair Value | Obligations to Return Securities Received as Collateral, at Fair Value At certain times, we also sell to third parties the U.S. Treasury Securities received as collateral for reverse repurchase agreements and recognize the resulting obligation to return said U.S. Treasury Securities as a liability on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Interest is recorded on the repurchase agreements, reverse repurchase agreements and U.S. Treasury Securities sold short on an accrual basis and presented as net interest expense. Both parties to the transaction have the right to make daily margin calls based on changes in the fair value of the collateral received and/or pledged. Repurchase Agreements We finance the acquisition of our MBS through the use of repurchase agreements. Our repurchase agreements are secured by our MBS and bear interest rates that have historically moved in close relationship to the Federal Funds Rate and the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). Under these repurchase agreements, we sell MBS to a lender and agree to repurchase the same MBS in the future for a price that is higher than the original sales price. The difference between the sales price that we receive and the repurchase price that we pay represents interest paid to the lender. A repurchase agreement operates as a financing arrangement (with the exception of repurchase agreements accounted for as a component of a Linked Transaction described below) under which we pledge our MBS as collateral to secure a loan which is equal in value to a specified percentage of the estimated fair value of the pledged collateral. We retain beneficial ownership of the pledged collateral. At the maturity of a repurchase agreement, we are required to repay the loan and concurrently receive back our pledged collateral from the lender or, with the consent of the lender, we may renew such agreement at the then prevailing interest rate. The repurchase agreements may require us to pledge additional assets to the lender in the event the estimated fair value of the existing pledged collateral declines. In addition to the repurchase agreement financing discussed above we have entered into reverse repurchase agreements with certain of our repurchase agreement counterparties. Under a typical reverse repurchase agreement, we purchase U.S. Treasury Securities from a borrower in exchange for cash and agree to sell the same securities in the future in exchange for a price that is higher than the original purchase price. The difference between the purchase price originally paid and the sale price represents interest received from the borrower. Reverse repurchase agreement receivables and repurchase agreement liabilities are presented net when they meet certain criteria, including being with the same counterparty, being governed by the same master repurchase agreement ("MRA"), settlement through the same brokerage or clearing account and maturing on the same day. |
Derivatives, at Fair Value | Derivatives, at Fair Value We recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities at fair value on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. All changes in the fair values of our derivatives are reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. We designate derivatives as hedges for tax purposes and any unrealized derivative gains or losses would not affect our distributable net taxable income. These transactions include interest rate swap contracts and interest rate swaptions. We also utilize forward contracts for the purchase or sale of TBA Agency Securities. We account for TBA Agency Securities as derivative instruments if it is reasonably possible that we will not take or make physical delivery of the Agency Security upon settlement of the contract. We may also enter into TBA Agency Securities as a means of investing in and financing Agency Securities (thereby increasing our "at risk" leverage) or as a means of disposing of or reducing our exposure to Agency Securities (thereby reducing our "at risk" leverage). Pursuant to TBA Agency Securities, we agree to purchase or sell, for future delivery, Agency Securities with certain principal and interest terms and certain types of collateral, but the particular Agency Securities to be delivered are not identified until shortly before the TBA settlement date. We may also choose, prior to settlement, to move the settlement of these securities out to a later date by entering into an offsetting short or long position (referred to as a "pair off"), net settling the paired off positions for cash, and simultaneously purchasing or selling a similar TBA Agency Security for a later settlement date. This transaction is commonly referred to as a "dollar roll." When it is reasonably possible that we will pair off a TBA Agency Security, we account for that contract as a derivative. |
Linked Transactions | Linked Transactions Through December 31, 2014 , the initial purchase of Non-Agency Securities and the related contemporaneous repurchase financing of such MBS with the same counterparty were considered part of the same arrangement, or a “Linked Transaction,” when certain criteria were met. Our acquisition of a Non-Agency Security and a related repurchase financing provided by the seller are generally considered to be linked if the initial transfer of and repurchase financing are contractually contingent, or there is a limited secondary market for the purchased security. The components of a Linked Transaction are evaluated on a combined basis and in totality, accounted for as a forward contract and reported as “Linked Transactions” on our balance sheets. Changes in the fair value of the Non-Agency Securities and repurchase liabilities underlying the Linked Transactions and associated interest income and expense are reported as “unrealized net gains/(losses) and net interest income (loss) from Linked Transactions” on our statements of operations and are not included in other comprehensive income (loss). When the linking criteria are no longer met, the initial transfer (i.e., the purchase of a security) and repurchase financing will no longer be treated as a Linked Transaction and will be evaluated and reported separately as a MBS purchase and repurchase financing. |
Preferred Stock, Common Stock, and Common Stock Repurchased | Preferred Stock At June 30, 2015 , we were authorized to issue up to 25,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our Board of Directors ("Board") or a committee thereof. We have not issued any preferred stock to date. Common Stock At June 30, 2015 , we were authorized to issue up to 250,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our Board. We had 11,917 shares of common stock issued and outstanding at June 30, 2015 and 11,985 issued and outstanding at December 31, 2014 . Common Stock Repurchased On March 5, 2014, our Board increased the authorization under the Repurchase Program to 3,000 shares of our common stock outstanding (the “Repurchase Program”). Under the Repurchase Program, shares may be purchased in the open market, including block trades, through privately negotiated transactions, or pursuant to a trading plan separately adopted in the future. The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will be at our discretion, subject to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and related rules. We are not required to repurchase any shares under the Repurchase Program and it may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time for any reason. We do not intend to purchase shares from our Board or other affiliates. Under Maryland law, such repurchased shares are treated as authorized but unissued. During the six months ended June 30, 2015 , we repurchased 81 shares of our common stock under the Repurchase Program for an aggregate of $612 . At June 30, 2015 , there were 1,358 authorized shares remaining under our Repurchase Program. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition Security purchase and sale transactions, including purchase of TBA Agency Securities, are recorded on the trade date to the extent it is probable that we will take or make timely physical delivery of the related securities. Gains or losses realized from the sale of securities are included in income and are determined using the specific identification method. Interest income is earned and recognized on Agency Securities based on their unpaid principal amounts and their contractual terms. Recognition of interest income commences on the settlement date of the purchase transaction and continues through the settlement date of the sale transaction. Premiums and discounts associated with the purchase of Multi-Family MBS, which are generally not subject to prepayment, are amortized or accreted into interest income over the contractual lives of the securities using a level yield method. Premiums and discounts associated with the purchase of other Agency Securities are amortized or accreted into interest income over the actual lives of the securities, reflecting actual prepayments as they occur. Interest income on Non-Agency Securities is recognized using the effective yield method over the life of the securities based on the future cash flows expected to be received. Future cash flow projections and related effective yields are determined for each security and updated quarterly. Other than temporary impairments, which establish a new cost basis in the security for purposes of calculating effective yields, are recognized when the fair value of a security is less than its cost basis and there has been an adverse change in the future cash flows expected to be received. Other changes in future cash flows expected to be received are recognized prospectively over the remaining life of the security. |
Comprehensive Income (Loss) | Comprehensive Income (Loss) Comprehensive income (loss) refers to changes in equity during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. It includes all changes in equity during a period, except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. |
Recent accounting pronouncements | In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board released ASU No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860) . This amendment to the acounting standards changed the accounting for repurchase financing transactions, that is, a transfer of a financial asset financed by a repurchase agreement with the same counterparty. In 2014, certain of these transactions were combined and accounted for as a forward contract and are reported as "Linked Transactions" on our balance sheet. Under the amendment, these arrangements are no longer presented as Linked Transactions on our condensed consolidated balance sheet but are instead accounted for from inception as purchases of Non-Agency trading securities and repurchase agreement liabilities. The amendment also changes the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions to secured borrowing accounting. We do not currently have, and do not contemplate having, repurchase-to-maturity transactions. The accounting changes were effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2015, early adoption was prohibited. In 2014, we continued to account for Linked Transactions and Non-Agency Securities all on a fair value basis. Accordingly, the adoption of this amendment had no effect on our results of operations or our accumulated deficit. The amendment also requires certain additional disclosures about repurchase agreements beginning with these second quarter 2015 condensed consolidated financial statements, See Note 9 , Repurchase Agreements . |

Our repurchase agreements require that we maintain adequate pledged collateral. A decline in the value of the MBS pledged as collateral for borrowings under repurchase agreements could result in the counterparties demanding additional collateral pledges or liquidation of some of the existing collateral to reduce borrowing levels. We manage this risk by maintaining an adequate balance of available cash and unpledged securities. We also may receive cash or securities as collateral from our derivative counterparties which we may use as additional collateral for repurchase agreements. Certain interest rate swap contracts provide for cross collateralization and cross default with repurchase agreements and other contracts with the same counterparty.
