Sounds like an alternative to what may have been an eventual BK. Maybe a company to look at a few years down the road if housing shows more promise. Just my opinion.

I'm re-donwthumbing this thing although it could have a dead cat bounce. They're burining a billion a quarter in losses. This could go bankrupt.

They are the leading provider of private mortgage insurance in the U.S. MGIC was burned in the subprime meltdown, but has since been clawing its way back. They are lowering their expenses and raising origination standards.

This stock is trading for less than cash and has a low price to operating cash flow. It's also selling at about half of book and sales. Insiders own 24% of the company. This pick doesn't reflect any sense that I have of a bottom in housing. In fact, mortgage deliquencies across the board were up in the second quarter. I would rather be early on this than late.

Rally seems overdone. It's possible that this company will survive, but far from guaranteed.
