The company is independent and intovative in the financial and insurance industry. The company did not cave in the first half of 2009.

This stock is a fortune 500 company that seems to have been beaten down badly. It is now coming back and just announced "a new relationship with Teacher Retirement System of Texas (TRS) to provide long term care insurance to its membership. The group insurance is underwritten by Genworth Life Insurance Company (Genworth Life)."
TRS is one of the largest retirement systems in the U.S. boasting more than 1.2 million members and includes all public school systems in the state. In fact, the organization asserts one out of every 20 Texans is a TRS member or retiree. Under this agreement, Genworth Life will become the underwriter of the group long term care insurance program for Public School Employees sponsored by TRS.

Great quality company. Very good profits. Didn't even need bailout when the whole economy was down. The price is a bit high, but great still.

1Q2009 RBC of 450% - planning end of year 2009 RBC of 350%, well above necessary levels.
Have about $7BB in cash on hand, between insurance cos and holding co, so I have a very hard time believing this company is a bankruptcy risk.
MI business looks better than pretty much every other MI business in the US. They've done a better job managing risk in this environment - much lower no doc / alt A loans than competitors. Lower exposure to hot beds of foreclosure, as well (i.e. Florida, Cali, Arizona, Michigan).
The real key will be if they can keep their distributor network whole and continue selling products, such as LTC and annuities. Might be tough in this market but I guess we will see.
Not sure how this one ever got as low as $.70 - if you bought shares with real money, congrats!!! I did not get in at the bottom but this looks like an easy double / triple over the next year or so. Risk / reward profile here seems very strong on the long side.
