I wouldn't worry about any of the mono-line insurers too much.

They may be lousy investments, but since they aren't directly regulated by the feds... yet... you can assume, at a minimum, that their capitalization requirements are reasonable, their assets are real, and in a worse case scenario... any state based receivership costs will be cheaper and born by those involved in the security issuance and financial guaranty businesses.

The MoMo's trying to short them out of existence are... much like Cramer in calling for a federal "solution"... acting against their own interests. But then... that assumes I know what their interests are... and that's not very likely at all. <vbg>
