I think we've seen the worst of this one for a while. Could be on the road to recovery - just a heads-up.

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.

Look at the PEG, and the debt to equity ratio. Cash as well. Short interest is high and stock is rock bottom, time for a jump.

Oh, what the hell? Let's buy it anyway.

Cheap for obvious reasons but I think income growth will continue on a long term basis.

Paying for failure at First Marblehead…
 First Marblehead (FMD) first caught our attention nearly two years ago after dropping from the mid-50s to around $30 a share. Over the past two years, we’ve caught a few other items (see here and here) as the stock has moved from $30 to under $3.
<>But nothing quite prepared us for the proxy that they filed yesterday which detailed hefty severance payments for some of the very executives who have been responsible for this train-wreck, including former CEO Jack Kopnisky, who stepped down at the end of last August. According to the proxy, Kopnisky got $516K in severance and another $9,000 to r...
