  • $2.28

Crazy, but it seems to me that the moves in stocks like Ambac Financial (ABK) and PMI (PMI) or in MGIC (MTG) and MBIA (MBI) may actually be driven by all the stock-picking contest being played right now. That's right, the actual games at CNBC and TheStreet.com.

To me these companies are, in the end, doomed to the fate of Thornburg Mortgage (TMA) or IndyMac (IMB), a company I have a particular lack of fondness for having been attacked on its conference call last year for being too pessimistic about housing! Ha!

People owning TMA also tend to own: ASHATGBACCBMNINFBNI
