Very interesting, but if they go belly up, will the shares and implicit , the options, become worthless?
Ambac could miss interest payment, default on loans
* Says could miss interest payment as soon as Q2 2010
* Says such an event could result in default
* Considers filing bankruptcy, raising capital
By Emily Chasan
NEW YORK, June 8 (Reuters) - Ambac Financial Group Inc (ABK.N), the bond insurer whose toxic assets were seized by Wisconsin state regulators in March, said on Tuesday that it could default on its loan obligations and was still considering filing a prepackaged bankruptcy.
The company, which has had trouble writing new business since losing its "triple-A" credit rating in 2008, said in a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing on Tuesday that "as early as the second quarter of 2010" it may decide not to make interest payments on its debt, which could result in event of a default.
As a result, Ambac said it could consider raising additional capital, restructuring through a "prepackaged bankruptcy" or filing a traditional bankruptcy without agreements from creditors, among other things.
"While management believes that the Company will have sufficient liquidity to satisfy its needs through the second quarter of 2011, no guarantee can be given that it will be able to pay all of its operating expenses and debt service obligations thereafter, and its liquidity may run out prior to the second quarter of 2011," Ambac said in the filing on Tuesday.
Ambac said late on Monday that it has commuted all of its remaining $16.4 billion of exposure to collateralized debt obligations of asset-backed securities. The company will pay $2.6 billion in cash and issue $2 billion of surplus notes, as part of an agreement with counterparties, it said. [ID:nN07220391]
Ambac shares closed up 3.9 percent at $1.07 on the New York Stock Exchange on Tuesday.
Wisconsin state regulators in March took over roughly $64 billion of Ambac's worst assets. The insurer, along with rivals like MBIA Inc (MBI.N), has been battling crippling losses from risky mortgage securities amid the financial crisis.

hey i am new to this board ... what options are u people looking at ?

yeah..'m pretty new with that ...but i think it's more lucrative..
i like watching charts...and i think it's very important when you play options !!!
what are the stocks you follow right now ?
..
Good weekend buddy'
yep, it was BCIT, who sued all the shareholders.That cured me of buying pinkies.I'll stick with trading options from now on.Much safer and more profit
OMG sad' !!
bad experience with that company...
You're welcome my friend, and regarding penny stocks, i prefer options, since i got sued by a penny stock company stating that i purchased fake shares thru my online broker.
okayyy..I will surely open an account there..
thanks mugur'
No, i pay $0.99 per contract.If i don't buy enough contracts then they will charge me the minimum $9.99,yes
But if i buy 40 contracts ,then i will pay 99 cents each.
so you only pay 9.95/trade and...0.99$/contract .. ?
Regarding the online broker, i never had to call in a trade, i always did them online, so the $25 broker assisted trade never applied to me.
Also i was considering tradeking.com before i applied with tradechoice,i think they are in the same league.
FRE did very well past three days... calls also ..
there's still the downtrend to break...so be ready to adjust your calls or puts ...
lol
watch aapl for a reversal also
Yep.Good call/em
BA (Boeing) -> Bottom in place ?

My TMA options?No.Lost my patience waiting for something to happen.
I will revisit them in a few months.
I do have the YHOO MAY $32.50 calls right now.Much more interesting than the TMA ones..hehe
you've got still yours ?
try www.cboe.com or here ,at investorshub
daytrading isn't for a lot of people, the bad thing here is we would rather invest in these plays then flip them but these crooked CEO's have taken that luxury away. If we buy them and the pps rises then they will immediately start to dilute them the crooks. so pennies are just not meant for investing but flipping.
Trader,say hello to my little friend
Good night mugur....sweet cat dreams:)
Ok,good luck than...guess day trading is not my thing.
what's your problem, we never did anything to you and you attacked us. we make a lot more than $50 per day I can guarantee you that.
Well,hello to you too.How are things going there?Andrei says HI to all you $50's...hehehe

Yes,there is a moron on the board:YOU!!!
Say hello to all your moron friends for me ,since you don't have the balls to listen to the other side of the story on the penny stocks you are pumping.
PS Did you make your $50 today?
Good,because tomorrow you might loose $100!
Bought and sold AAPL FEB puts for 100% profit.Hold time= 1 day.
