MTG provides private mortgage services in the US.  It trades under 10x earnings and under book value.  We like that it is building cash reserves, paying down debt and buying back shares. Recently reported earnings showed net income growth of 36% over the year.  We recommend placing a stop-loss at $11.50, looking to achieve $16.50 — upside potential over 16%.  Yield 2.6%
