Commodity

Even if you don't think you do, you already know plenty about commodities. Want us to prove it? No problem.

What makes oil produced in Saudi Arabia different from oil exported from Nigeria? It's the same thing that makes the corn you ate at last summer¿s barbecue different from the corn used to produce ethanol. Stumped? Well, don't feel bad, it's a trick question. The answer? Absolutely nothing. Corn is corn no matter where it comes from -- just as wheat is wheat and natural gas is -- right! -- natural gas. (Though the quality may differ, the make-up is uniform.)

So, in less elaborate terms, corn and oil (and all other commodities) are homogenous goods that can be processed, resold and more often than not, used as an input to the production of other goods or services. These goods are traded on a commodity exchange, thus setting the price-per-barrel (or other metric unit) used to value them.

Now pay attention, here's a question that indeed does have an answer: What is the difference between a commodity and a stock? While a stock can tank and become worthless, a commodity cannot have its value be wiped to zero. One other difference: Most commodities are traded in futures, meaning traders buy and sell where they think the price of a product will be at a certain point in the future. Stocks trade based on the value of the underlying company at that point in time.

Triad Guaranty Inc. Reports Second Quarter Loss as Reported Defaults and Foreclosures Continue to Rise

 
Comtex
 

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., Aug 04, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ ----Triad Guaranty Inc. (Nasdaq: TGIC) today reported a net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 of $198.8 million compared with net income of $12.0 million for the same quarter in 2007. The loss per share was $13.36 for the second quarter of 2008 compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.80 for the second quarter of 2007. The net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $348.8 million compared to net income of $29.3 million for the same period in 2007. The loss per share was $23.45 for the first six months of 2008 compared to diluted earnings per share of $1.96 for the same period last year.

William T. Ratliff, III, Chairman and CEO, said, "As I take on this additional leadership role, Triad and the entire mortgage industry are facing significant challenges. During the second quarter we announced that Triad was going into run-off and we stopped issuing commitments for new mortgage insurance coverage effective July 15, 2008. Concurrent with the move to run-off, we took actions to reduce our workforce by approximately 45%. Our focus now is on the efficient and effective servicing of our insured portfolio, particularly around loss mitigation. We intend to continue to improve our processes in this area by examining and refining all aspects of our default management and claims process, including assessing servicer effectiveness, pursuing acquisitions of properties in foreclosure when appropriate and enhancing our investigations of potential fraud in the mortgage commitment process, particularly for recent policy years."

Mr. Ratliff continued, "The size of our second quarter loss reflects the depth and breadth of the collapse of the housing and mortgage markets. The continued growth in the number of defaults and foreclosures during the quarter required a significant increase in reserves. The distressed markets of California, Florida, Arizona and Nevada continue to be adversely impacted by declining home prices, and reserves for defaults in these states comprised approximately 68% of the increase in our reserves for the quarter."

To understand and assess the future performance of Triad requires information about the risk in our insured portfolio and performance to date. In our continuing effort to provide meaningful information, we have updated the supplemental information for the 2008 second quarter results related to product differentiation, risk structures, additional portfolio characteristics and performance on our web site at www.triadguaranty.com. The supplemental information can be found under "Investors" and then under "Webcasts and Presentations" by the title "Supplemental Information - Second Quarter 2008".
