CFC: Bull or Bear?

Countrywide: Potential Short Squeeze in the Offing Graphic_rating_buy CFC

Media reports that Bank of America (BAC) is targeting July 1, 2008 as the date for its acquisition of Countrywide Financial (CFC) have the potential to create a huge impact on the market if accurate. Reports that a letter sent to Countrywide branch managers specifying July 1st as the date are supported by SEC filings showing that Bank of America has shelved the appropriate number of BAC shares and CFC filings, placing a ban on Countrywide executives from trading between June 27th through July 2nd.

All of this is assuming that CFC shareholders approve the merger on June 25th, 2008.

Cramer on BloggingStocks: JP Morgan made a huge mistake Graphic_rating_sell CFC

Filed under: Industry, Market matters, JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Bank of America (BAC), Merrill Lynch (MER), Countrywide Financial (CFC), Goldman Sachs Group (GS), Wachovia Corp (WB), Washington Mutual (WM), Lehman Br Holdings (LEH), Stocks to Sell, Cramer on BloggingStocks

TheStreet.com's Jim Cramer says the acquired Bear Stearns portfolio is worth even less than he thought.

How bad was that Bear Stearns portfolio? I am beginning to believe that JPMorgan's (NYSE: JPM) (Cramer's Take) buy of Bear is looking like a big mistake. It can only be justified by what might have been an even bigger p...

Short interest in Countrywide spikes, suggesting BAC deal in trouble Graphic_rating_sell CFC

Filed under: Deals, Bad news, Short stories, Bank of America (BAC), Countrywide Financial (CFC), Stocks to Sell

Short interest in Countrywide Financial (NYSE:CFC) moved up by a big 26 million shares as of May 15 to 102.4 million compared to the number on April 30. Someone thinks the deal for Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) to take the company over may be in trouble. Shares of a number of other financial companies were also hit hard during the period.

<>With everyone, including the FBI and US Congress, looking into Countrywide's lending practices and stock sales by management, the short gamble may b...

<>   <> CFC is a great company with a huge market share. The one thing I see that would realy boost the stock right now, and I hate to say it with all the talk of recession right now, but some good old fashioned downsizing is in order here. I for one was floored when reasearching the stats. of this company, I realized  that it had well over 54,000 employees, wow. However Angelo Mozilo has done great job in building a hugely successful business. It is unfortunate that this kind of success seems to allways breed contempt and jealousy in certian people lacking in character, and these types neve<>...

Get on board for a quick and somewhat stupid surge of lender stocks. The news of bailouts will cause alot of these under valued stocks to soar as they were trading just a few months ago. This may not last as the plans to subsidize the losses may be squished in real life, or in the press any day. Play- em quick and close. Good Luck.

multi-baggar winner if the company weathers this financial dowturn Graphic_rating_buy CFC

No doubt that CFC is undergoing one of the most difficult business climate in the company's history.

<> The shares has fallen off the cliff, losing more than 75% of its value this year.   Last month BAC pumped in 2 billion into the copmany at the price of $20.  Now that the shares are trading just above $10, it appears to be even more than cheaper than what BAC was a good value when it made the investment with CFC.  I believe that if the business environment further ddeteriorates, the company would be up for sale by companies like BAC but still at a higher price.  If the company survive...

Countrywide has been battered too long. Graphic_rating_buy CFC
N/A

What is the opposite of a bubble?  Countywide has been battered by every piece of bad news possible, but a few key facts remain unsaid.  They are the #1 originator and #1 servicer of home loans.  They fate is as tied to interest rates as it is to the houseing market (ie. if interest rates continue to go down, they will make money on refinancing).
