It has been a while since I looked closely at the others in the group. When I was selecting one for my core shorts, MBI stood out above all the rest as being vulnerable to a deteriorating credit environment (which was what I was looking for) so it was the selection at the time. At the same time and for many of the same reasons, I shorted ACF and COF in the cores for exposure to downside risk in credit.
I probably need to take another look at the group to see if any others are looking worse than MBI, but it has been treating me well so far. When I get some free time I will check back into it - thanks for the reminder.
