Security Capital Assurance Ltd (SCA)

CAPS Rating:
*

A Bermuda-domiciled holding company whose operating subsidiaries provide financial guaranty insurance, reinsurance and other credit enhancement products to the public finance and structured finance markets throughout the United States and internationally.

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.

This is what we call a balls to the walls pick. Security Capital Assurance looks fantastic on paper at just 1.2 times future earnings, less than 0.2 times book and 253M in cash with no debt. The problem lies in the CDOs its backing. In order for SCA to maintain its AAA credit rating it must raise ro...More

We know what's going on with the subprime mess. SCA is becoming another casualty. Already a penny stock
(read: fairly worthless stock) SCA just keeps going lower. Eventually this stock will go bankrupt. If it's still around when credit and housing markets stabilize, keep an eye on it, but for now, stay away if you wish to keep your money.

The current laggards of the Acura Innovation CAPs contest.
TA might suggest underperform, and so might some of these recognizable symbols, but I'll give the players the benefit of the doubt (late bloomers).
Timeframe, one month, end of March.

I'm getting closer to the maximum allowable picks; should wreak havoc on my score this month.

Alright im calling a bottom. Not because I think 1.50 is the bottom (although it is an all time low) but because I dont want to miss this when it pops back up. Which it will if it doesn't go out of business. And with more cash on hand than the market cap and a forward pe of ~2.5 + a P/S of .78 .... pffft! Strong buy, multi-bagger.
