James Cole, BA, CFAPMI Group IncPMITOP PICKFeb 18, 2005

(A Top Pick Oct 18/04. Up 5%.) Insure "higher loan to value" mortgages in the US. Also in the financial guarantee business. Because of wide spread concerns of a housing bubble in the US, mortgage insurers have fallen to trading at 9 X earnings and 1 X this year's tangible Book. Feels concerns are overblown and the prices offer very little downside and very good upside in the long term.
