MGIC Investment Corp. (MTG)

CAPS Rating:
*

The Company through its wholly owned subsidiary Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Corporation provides private mortgage insurance in the United States to the home mortgage lending industry.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Have you seen the housing market? Defaults, forclodsures, jingle mail etc...? It would take a mammoth bailout by the Fed to turn this around any time soon. I don't see it happening. It's going to get worse before it gets better.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
