Bought back into AGM Friday. This is the most important piece of DD on AGM: 0 Exposure to Sub Prime.
AGM was $30 recently, annualized EPS in $3 range. AGM has 0 Sub Prime or Alt A exposure, no reason for it to have fallen to these levels after capital infusion put its regulatory capital back to required levels:
