Q: This is a mortgage insurer with great fundamentals: TTM PE 5.8, ROE 11.6%, P/B of 0.65, D/E of 13%, low P.R. and has beat EPS last 3 Q 2015 & increased it's dividend in Nov. 2015. The company does not think we are going to have a real estate crash - neither do I - only caveat is AB - what is their exposure there as a % of their total book? This is a pure negative sentiment play, I guess? Stock is down a lot since Nov. 25 th even with the D > & EPS beat. What am I missing here??

Q: What do you make of a market that starts with hundreds of points up and end with hundreds of points down or vice versa. From your experience is that an indication of bull, bear or nothing can be concluded from these actions. Does history give us any indication what to come or is this a normal gyration of the market and unpredictable investor's reaction?

Thanks

Q: The first three stocks are good ones. Yet, they are all down, respectively by 21%, 28% and 57%,

Would you still advise staying the course ?

The current market is pretty bad. Very few places to hide !

In this really bad environment, is the stock market the place to be ? My only good stock since some time is CSU, but it stands like an exception. Lately, not much money to be made in the stock market. Do you concur ?

Amaya has been a great promise, and a great disappointment...

Q: Big move on DIV today, down 8% as I write this. I have not found any news that would cause this, I can't see the crude move having this big of a one day effect. Good volume too. Appreciate an education here if i'm missing something, thanks.
