This is a boom or bust stock. It will either get a return of its revenue stream or go bankrupt. I expect the odds are a bit more in favor of revenue than bankruptcy given that the residuals from past securitizations can help see them through these ...

If I'm right and FMD has weathered the worst, fall is right around the corner. Recessions usually put people back to school for re-training and if FMD survives should have a multi-bagger here.

FMD at today's prices is likely to provide a minimum of 30% annualized returns over the next few years as uncertainty over it's business model disappear and the market returns to its senses. Today's prices will likely not be around for long, especia...

A great growth/value combo. The type of earnings generated seem to be what keeps the multiple lower here, which is fair. There can be a great deal of volatility in lending profits. Still bullish for 2 reasons. First, by all accounts the company h...

I really like FMD at the current prices because of the unreasonable drop over the last several months. Subprime lending woes (how many times have we read that in the past six months) have affected FMD more than they should. Student loans have a much ...

Today the market did a slide down the hill, and First Marblehead Corp. Has gotten hit a lot harder then it deserves over the last two months. This makes it a great time to pick up a good long term stock at a discount price (not to say it might go low...

FMD's share price has been punished due to the current environment. All they need is 1-2 banks to back them again, and their share price will recover. Even if its halfway of their former glory, thats 5x their current USD4 price.

Students still need to learn and market is valuing this company as if it 0% of student loans held by it can be sold as bonds. Contrarian Pick.
