RRainman: TMFZ
TMFZ remains my favorite play in the mortgage sector, and I'm banking on the widely held view that mortgage rates will remain reasonable and not rise much beyond 6% by year end.
TMFZ, now trading around 2.80, earned .55 per share, fully taxed and diluted last year for a trailing PE of about 5.
EPS grew 267% in 2004 to .55 from .15 in 2003
Company is growing geographically and primarily sells mortgages into the ALT-A market niche which is less interest rate sensitive than the primary market.
Company plans to apply for a Nasdaq or AMEX listing this year as per the CEO's remarks on the most recent earnings conference call.
