At the moment, the US analysts are enjoying the reduction in the US financials.

There is nothing to feel surprised that most of the companies are vigorously shorting financials should then release fate and murk analyses. In an almost tit-for-tat fighting, analysts at different banks have been reducing each other continuously over the summer.

A cheap target for them is the tattered monoline insurers, who have been facing severe difficulties by the bad credit status especially Ambac and MBIA, lost around 90% of their market cover over the last year.

However, till now monolines have managed to direct the analysts look confused at top and spiteful at the pits.

Former this week, Ambac revealed an increase in net income to $823.1 million and today MBIA reported a gain of $1.7 billion.

Not even a single analyst saw these rises coming, but JP morgan is still releasing a statement this morning that 'monolines are dead".

For their entire smash up, monolines have a few things going for them:

1. They have strong income models, with a little chance of running out of cash for years,
2. Companies like Ambac and MBIA have been actively sinking their liabilities,
3. Both Mabac and MBIA have been working hard to regain subsidiaries eligible for popular AAA ratings to return to full business,
4. Both Ambac and MBIA have tough liquidity
5. The insurers are still energetic in business,
6. No one can let the monolines fall down, least of all the investment banks that have enormous debts insured by them.

The image is not entirely good; either the original business of insuring municipal bonds has contracted vastly over the past year.

The market is left being aggressively pursued by the companies like General Re, owned by Warren Buffet,s Berkshire Hathaway. However, Buffet also possess a 20% stake in Moody,s, who aggressively injured monoline ratings, only to later admit the downgrades lacked reliability.

Hitting a company while at decline seems to have become a Wall Street habit, especially while money can be made in the process. The downfall of Bear Stearns and the profits made forcefully shorting it to death.

However, now the difference is the credit crunch which is no more an indistinct uncertainty, but something with proven effects.

Investors remain spooked by mortgage non-payment, but they are not interested to run at the least clue of bad debt, because most big financial institutions have excitedly rebuilt their asset books over the past year to make sure they can stay alive.
