As any reader of the AMP site or book knows TMA was on our avoid list. We are all looking for a change in the market.
Then we will acquire a position over time - providing that the turn/trend continues and the stock performs as expected.
The bottom of a market is led by financials. Today, in the face of more weak data TMA reported improved fortunes and a positive outlook.
I see this as a change in the fortunes of the Company and have purchased a small position - 100 shares at $12.02 U.S.
I am looking to Thornburg having signalled that it will be one of the survivors in the mortgage business - and as such it will benefit from :
1) the loss of many of its competitors
2) the lower financing charges as a result of Fed rate cuts
3) the financial institutions it deals with will have the confidence to provide funds to TMA because it has a strong balance sheet and a business plan and management that has proven itself.

Upgraded TMA to a buy
Company is focused on ultra high end borrowers
and will benefit from the steepening of the yield curve - with a dramatic drop in their borrowing costs - that is a higher profit on each mortgage.
