ABK and MBI

Discussion in 'Stocks' started by protodigm, Apr 24, 2008.

  1. Did a lot of research on the nature of the bond insurance business but I haven't found much in the way of the differences between ABK and MBI

    I notice that ABK is valued SO much lower than MBI in terms of market cap to equity. Even ABK has less debt.

    Is there a reason for why ABK is much worse off compared to MBI?

    What are their main differences in their business models.

    abk is having a harder time to raise capital, mbi has more firms throwing money at them, mbi also has a bigger market share but I think thats a bad thing
     
  3. Don't know how much bounce is left before you get bagged. At least MBI pumped some news midday about CEO purchasing for a nice lift
     
  4. piece of shit stocks, both of them, and dead companies. intraday volatility is nuts, if you can make heads or tails of it you can make a lot of money
     
  5. does mbi insure more government bonds? thats what has always been the bread and butter for bond insurers.
     
  6. They are really trying to lift these again. I dare not to get involved. Maybe Charlie G. will say something.:)
     
  7. these stocks are awful
