Item	1.	Security and Issuer

Dynex Capital, Inc., Common Stock, $ .01 par value
CUSIP Number 26817Q506

Dynex Capital, Inc. Convertible Preferred D Stock, $ 10.00 par value
CUSIP Number 26817Q605

This Schedule 13D amendment number two is being filed because
the group members own Dynex Capital, Inc. common stock and
Dynex Capital Inc. Convertible Preferred D shares.

If the Convertible Preferred D shares would be converted to common
stock by the group members (which has not and may not ever occur),
then, the total of the group members common share holdings
might require a 13D filing.

Item 	3.	Sources and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Amster Trading Company purchased all Dynex Capital, Inc. common
stock with working capital without borrowing.  The total consideration
for their purchase is $ 214,718.00.

Amster Trading Company Charitable Remainder Unitrusts purchased
all Dynex Capital, Inc. common stock with trust assets without borrowing.
The total consideration for their purchases is $ 177,754.82 bringing
Amster Trading Company Charitable Remainder Unitrusts total
investment to $ 541,636.81.



Item	4.	Purpose of Transaction

Howard Amster, Amster Trading Company,
Amster Trading Company Charitable Remainder Unitrusts,
Ramat Securities Ltd., David Zlatin may be deemed to be a group.

Howard Amster, Amster Trading Company Charitable Remainder
Unitrusts, Ramat Securities Ltd., each acquired
Dynex Capital, Inc., common stock for purposes of investment.






There are no present plans or proposals by Howard Amster,
Amster Trading Company, Amster Trading Company Charitable
Remainder Unitrusts, Ramat Securities Ltd.,  as reported in this
second amendment to Schedule 13D which relates to or would
result in the following:

a. 	The acquisition by Howard Amster , Amster Trading Company,
Amster Trading Company Charitable Remainder Unitrusts,
Ramat Securities Ltd.,  of additional securities of the Issuer or the
disposition of securities of the Issuer, however, Howard Amster,
Amster Trading Company, Amster Trading Company Charitable
Remainder Unitrusts, Ramat Securities, Ltd., might acquire
additional shares or other securities of the Issuer or
dispose of some or all of their shares or other securities of the Issuer
depending upon market conditions and their respective
personal circumstances;


Item	5.	Interest in Securities of the Issuer

The outstanding common shares of the Issuer is
12,163,391 shares.
The outstanding convertible preferred D shares is
4,221,553 shares.

This Schedule 13D filing shows the common shares that would
be held if all Convertible Preferred D shares owned by group
members were converted to common shares and added to common
shares that are already owned by group members.  Each share of
Convertible Preferred D converts to one share of Dynex
Capital, Inc. common shares.

If only the group members converted their Convertible Preferred D
shares into common shares, which has not and may not ever occur, then,
the shares outstanding would be
12,177,791 common shares.
(12,163,391 plus 14,400 equals 12,177,791)

If every Convertible Preferred D holder simultaneously converted
their shares to common shares, this group would not be a 5 % holder
nor would any of its members.

(a)(b)	The aggregate amount of common stock owned
by the Reporting Persons is 547,419 shares or 4.5 % of the
current outstanding common shares.



The aggregate amount owned by Reporting Persons if all their
Convertible Preferred D shares were converted into common shares
and included in the total outstanding common shares is 561,819
or  4.6 % of the outstanding common shares and
assuming no other Convertible Preferred D holder converted.
If other Convertible Preferred D holders converted their shares
to common stock, then the per cent owned would be lower.

Howard Amster and in his individual retirement account
owns 170,500 or 1.4 % of the current outstanding common
shares.

If the members of the group converted all their shares of
Convertible Preferred D shares into common shares and no
other Convertible Preferred D holder converted their shares
to common shares, then, Howard Amster and in his individual
retirement account would continue to own 170,500 common
shares or 1.4  % of the outstanding common shares.
If other Convertible Preferred D holders converted their shares
to common stock, then the per cent owned would be lower.

Amster Trading Company owns 31,300 or .2 % of the
current outstanding common shares.

If the members of the group converted all their shares of
Convertible Preferred D shares into common shares and no
other Convertible Preferred D holder converted their shares
to common shares, then, Amster Trading Company
would continue to own 31,300 common shares or
0.2  % of the outstanding common shares.
If other Convertible Preferred D holders converted their shares
to common stock, then the per cent owned would be lower.

Amster Trading Company Charitable Remainder Unitrusts
owns 83,600 or 0.7 % of the current outstanding
common shares.

If the members of the group converted all their shares of
Convertible Preferred D shares into common shares and no
other Convertible Preferred D holder converted their shares
to common shares, then Amster Trading Company Charitable
Remainder Unitrusts would continue to own 83,600 common
or 0.7 % of the outstanding common shares.
If other Convertible Preferred D holders converted their shares
to common stock, then the per cent owned would be lower.

Ramat Securities Ltd. owns 262,019 shares or 2.2 %
of the current outstanding common shares.

If Ramat Securities Ltd. converted its 14,400 shares of
Convertible Preferred D shares into common shares,
then, Ramat Securities Ltd would own 276,419
common shares or  2.3 % of the outstanding common shares.
If other Convertible Preferred D holders converted their shares
to common stock, then the per cent owned would be lower.
