Setting a new 52 week low today and doesn't deserve it. I'm as bearish on the real estate market as many others. All the lenders deserve some cut as future earnings are going to rough. But 40% ? This company has some of the tightest financial len...

I like the short term play on this stock. The company makes loans to the *builders* of condos and office buildings. They do not do a measurable business in loaning to the grandmas buying the condos. The loans on the condos and offices mature in 1-...

I am very surprised to see CORS only has a 2 star caps rating as of 12/28/06. In reading their annual report, I notice that they delay paying their loan officers for years until they determine that the loan is not defaulting. I see where they have no...

This stock has been beaten up unjustifiably. It has been lumped in with the sub-prime lenders even though it is not. Any bank that can pay a 1.00 per share extra dividend has to be doing well. The low price of this stock is a very good buying opportu...
