The ambac crash provided an excellent entry into MBI below $9.

The Ambac PRZ instrument is not easy to value. But that package contains a lot of ambac optionsality and a bond paying 9.5% for 3 more years.

At $33 this is a current yield of 15% compounded which must be deducted. The clean price of about $21 is well below the implied stock price. By hedging only a part (6.27) at 3.50 the clean price can be brought in and leaves some optionality open.
