    22. $AGO – coming out of a base. Would buy some here with a stop below $36...and then maybe add above $38.

  • Lou: A few days ago I pointed out that the Muni bond insurers were in jeopardy because of the massive amount of exposure they have to Puerto Rico debt - take a look at performance since then - $MBIA $AMBC $AGO. Berkshire Hathaway is also a big player in this space. That said, there is much reinsurance in play with different companies, including Lloyd's of London having various tranche exposure. Unfortunately here, I don't play short sides so I am not benefiting from that prediction.
  • Jadee: $AGO I'm looking at this as a longer term hold/trade. It gapped down on the recent pull back and looks to be a good buy range. Resistance is at 25.99 and support at 23.75 I am looking at a stop of 23.36 or 22.74 There are a few recent posts on the forum on this as well including a caution @Forexpro posted from Barons...

  • GreenGhost: @janner0814 You might want to take a look at $AGO for a long stock swing trade; heavy call buying today on offer in NTM April strikes; given the OI these were very likely new positions.

  • wachholder: $AGO, tnt, interesting....combined with the housing news today, are we extending credit again to people who should not have credit? I seriously beleive we have a huge tidal wave of debt coming due that needs to be refinanced. This could get ugly again.
  • jojo1480: $AGO EBIX- a couple of fundamentally sound stocks, I have a full position and just added about 30% more, now overweights. have to see how this gamble pays off. Position long.
  • jojo1480: $OEH AGO EBIX- a couple of ideas of stocks that have been beaten up, and now appears to be in repair mode. I am long all of them, take a look at the daily charts. $AGO and $EBIX on a fundamental basis are very cheap. $OEH finished a secondary offering a while ago, and it looks like the BB expansion is taking place.
  • jojo1480: $EBIX AGO- Harkmeister, add $AGO this is the only bond insurer remaining after ABK went into chapter 11, both these cos are fundamentally sound, and i am long for those reasons.

  • mixmasters: $AGO morning everyone, home today over snow, will be a trading day, $AGO beating earnings stock is looking on the up, pree market showing sighns of strenth, I bought and acumilated at much lower levels, could have a run to its higher BB bands in the comming days, my take any pulll back today is a buying opertunity in this stock, good luck
  • RFrangie: GNW- did not move, so I think this one will move to the upside tomorrow during the conference call (9 am), looks like is going to do the same as $AGO did on Q3. Very good earnings .09 surprise. No one is selling and a lot of buy orders
  • M&M: $AGO - Bot this am...also bot $RDN on the open off $MTG earnings...long that too. $AGO shud play catch up...all 3 actually pay dividends. They are all significantly undervalued according to Value Engine...and controversial as well(hence risk/reward). TLAB...long at 6.21 from a few weeks ago. It now has resistance to fight thru. Also taking a look at MYGN...nothing yet. Have a great equity day. -M&M
  • M&M: $RDN, $MTG, PMI, $MBI, $AGO - As a follow on to @Dan's post regarding #financials and his video on the homies, take a look at these various home and bond insurers left for dead. I have been trading all those listed above since December and am currently long $RDN, $AGO & PMI. Interesting charts (definable risk/reward) with big short positions. My feeling is they will play catch up if homebuilders and financial's continue to rally. Good Luck to all-M&M
