barrons3	Do you mind that we are about to resolve another part of the financial crises with deals from Synovus (SNV) and Genworth (GNW), two goners just a few months ago?	Love	September 17, 2009
barrons3	But these companies look to me like Hartford (HIG) at $12 or Principal Financial (PFG) at $10 or Genworth (GNW) at $4. The capital markets were open and receptive to those three annuity/insurers, and I don't even think they are as good as the banks I listed because they don't benefit from the yield curve, which is bountiful and apparently will stay bountiful for now. And yes, these can grow their way out of their holes.	Love	September 17, 2009

Chief943	They've been beat down unfairly and have a very conservative investment portfolio. Also, their long term care offerings are great and mortgage insurance rates are rising. I believe the worst of the losses will be Q3 this year and after that they will return to solid profitability.	Love	September 04, 2009
barrons3	We have seen that recently in so many situations that it is pretty dazzling. It was one thing to see Genworth (GNW) back from the dead on its own.	Love	August 13, 2009

barrons3	Lear (LEA), AMD (AMD), Genworth (GNW), Tenet (THC), Huntington (HBAN) and Fifth Third (FITB). These are our leaders? This is what's rocking the market?	Love	May 14, 2009
Stockpickr Staff	Pity poor Genworth Financial (GNW). All the phony banks are getting bailout money except Genworth. <a href="http://www.thestreet.com/story/10487261/2/five-dumbest-things-on-wall-street-april-17.html" target="_blank">For more, click here.</a>	Love	April 17, 2009

Stockpickr Staff	"One of the big issues in this market, one that has put endless pressure on the financials, is the need for the big insurers to refinance their considerable debt load. Who has not watched with terror the action in Lincoln National (LNC) or Principal (PFG) or Hartford (HIG) or Genworth (GNW), my insurer by dint of its purchase of Mayflower -- my pristine carrier for so many years -- not that you get to vote on your insurer's takeover; I know I would never have voted for the cowboys at Genworth."

barrons3	No stock on our list has fallen more than Genworth, the biggest initial public offering of 2004. Shares have crashed 90% in 2008 alone, to 2.58. Genworth sells mortgage insurance, annuities and reverse mortgages, which act as home-equity loans for seniors. Profits have been hurt by loan defaults, scarce credit and investment losses, but fees from annuity and investment-advisory businesses should put a floor under earnings. Profits peaked in 2007 at $3.07 a share; analysts are projecting a drop of 35% this year, and a gain of about 5% next year.	Love	December 13, 2008
barrons3	How cheap is The Hartford (HIG)? Prudential (PRU)? MetLife (MET)? I mean that these are so cheap that they could get as cheap as Genworth (GNW).	Love	December 03, 2008

barrons2	"Their loss ratios have been better than their peers'," says Santelli, who thinks the stock could rebound and trade in the high 30s. Genworth could earn $3.28 a share next year, jumping to $3.76 in 2009.	Love	November 10, 2007
