I was shorting Impac and indymac from some time ago after NEW started to cave in, but I didn't look too closely into Impac other than I saw larger participants selling off the impac preferred which is never a good sign. I shorted various stocks as a macro bet rather than one. Message 23314323

It might be interesting to look into Impacs reporting similar to NDE (or also CFC)

NDEs own numbers:

Nice spin at Impac. Though, if one reads carefully, it is something which is mixed. Impac has now a loss making subsidiary and burns money at the REIT level. As earlier announced they cut the dividend from 0.25 to 0.10.

One has to ask whether the chronic noncompliance with debt covenants will be cured (see 10k for 2006).

Impac has posted the february factsheet:

ir.impaccompanies.com

The 60+delinquency stands now at 6.80%. This number is different to the 3.25% in 06 and 1.80% in 2004. It appears to be a direct consequence of many people having IO ARMs... (given that the economy steams at maximum employment levels).

The amount of REOs and delinquent loans exceeds IMHs stated equity in January.
