They are looking for a buyer. This will be bought out soon. That loan is huge. It’s also an asset back loan.

On a roll. I put a $20+ valuation on this with the recent $1.4 billion loan

Bottom line, you have 4 of the largest banks betting on this company. Over 30 sub prime comp. went bankrupt. Who do you think is going to reap the rewards? If this doesn’t get bought out, it will certainly be a very strong company.

It appears as if the buyout is imminent.

The housing #'s this morning were terrible. That doesn’t mean there isn't a buyout coming. This company isn’t just a sub-prime lender.

They actually broke even. They have massive assets, not just a sub-prime lender. They also have the backing of 4 huge banks. This will either be bought out, or be in the $20 range in a year.
