Analyst

OK, so this company has plenty of mortgage exposure and their loan loss provision is viewed as being too small.  If prices continue to drop, and I think they will, loss provisions may increase.  How much further can it drop though?  It is trading at a P/E of 3.6 and a p/b of 0.33.  Other things of note:

-No subprime exposure

-Zero document loans have a FICO of 720

-weighted average FICO of all mortgage exposure is over 700

-60% of loan portfolio is either full document or stated income and verified assets

It may not be a day traders stock, but it is worth taking a look at.
