RISK FACTORS
Company Specific According to the companys latest quarterly release, the unexpected regulatory changes, potential dispute with regulatory authorities and change of lenders and borrowers preferences to mortgage insurance could negatively affect the business. Furthermore, there is no guarantee when they can return to annual profitability. Economy Outlook: Interest Rate As the job market is picking up, it is widely expected that the Federal Reserve will be pulling back its bond buying program early next year, which will put pressure on the interest rate to go up. This will potentially has a negative effect on housing market and on housing owners ability to pay their mortgages.
