You wrote about First Marblehead (FMD) a while back. The stock got killed yesterday by the TERI bankruptcy and I'm wondering if you think it's worth picking up shares.

Yes, it did get killed Tuesday, and that wasn't the first time, either. It's down to less than $5 from more than $40 a year ago. I sent a report to Kelly Letter subscribers Tuesday night, from which the following is adapted:

I can see why this stock is getting sold so much lately, but hold on to it.  I laugh at anyone selling this company at this unsustainably low price.   I do not think that loan defaults are going to put FMD out of business in the long term.  I do see a crisis, in that tuition is rising rapidly while it is getting harder for graduates to pay these debts.  But even if you adjust the expectations accordingly, FMD is still a buy here.  There is always going to be a market for debt, and companies are getting better and better at collecting.
