ABK and MBI

[protodigm]

Did a lot of research on the nature of the bond insurance business but I haven't found much in the way of the differences between ABK and MBI

I notice that ABK is valued SO much lower than MBI in terms of market cap to equity. Even ABK has less debt.

Is there a reason for why ABK is much worse off compared to MBI?

What are their main differences in their business models.

abk is having a harder time to raise capital, mbi has more firms throwing money at them, mbi also has a bigger market share but I think thats a bad thing

Don't know how much bounce is left before you get bagged. At least MBI pumped some news midday about CEO purchasing for a nice lift

piece of shit stocks, both of them, and dead companies. intraday volatility is nuts, if you can make heads or tails of it you can make a lot of money

does mbi insure more government bonds? thats what has always been the bread and butter for bond insurers.

They are really trying to lift these again. I dare not to get involved. Maybe Charlie G. will say something.
