Recommended on seekingalpha. The company has been hit hard by the real estate crisis. It traded into the $40's before the crisis. Earnings estimates for 2012 are $1.28.

Following valuemoney (albeit somewhat delayed). I was waiting for a pullback before jumping in on this one, and here it is.

Following Valuemoney. Stewart Information Services Corp is a highly solvent title company selling for 0.49 times book value, which is 1.0 times tangible book value. The company lost money in 2009 and 2008 but analysts expect a small profit for 2010. An insider named Edgar Allen Smith is consistently buying shares. Although I am aware that Steward Information Services has a tough road to walk in the current economic climate, I am excited by the opportunity to get into the lucrative title insurance industry at such a low price. Whenever real estate firms up (which might be a long time) this company's price will double.

Regardless of whether things get better in the real estate market in the next five years (and I think they will), properties will change hands. When properties change hands, people buy title insurance.
Their premiums are a function of market price, so higher prices help, but they do not have the same risk as buyers when prices go down. Also, selling title insurance is less susceptible to local risks in declining markets- they can sell policies where the markets are hot.

Steady business in flat housing cycle. When home starts pick back up, this one will be the crown jewel. Should have got in last month, but this will still rise in the near future.

We know that foreclosures are escallating because of the rate resets on mortgages to owners that can't afford them.
After these foreclosure, SOMEONE's got to buy all those auctioned off houses, and those buyers are going to need title insurance. Why is this stock down so much?
Am I the only one that sees the sub-prime meltdown as being eventually good for the title insurance industry?
