Stocks of Mortgage Insurers Rising
Mortgage insurers such as Radian Group (RDN) and PMI Group (PMI) have been suffering from rising mortgage defaults. But the group could be turning the corner. On Tuesday, the largest U.S. mortgage insurer, MGIC Investment Corp. (MTG), posted a quarterly profit of $24.6 million compared to a loss of nearly $340 million in the year-ago quarter. That good news comes after three years of losses.

A Stock to Take Heart In: ABMD
If your heart fails, Danvers, Mass.-based Abiomed (ABMD) says that it has the tools to take over the pumping function. The medical device maker, which makes blood pumps, catheters and sensors, recently got one of its products approved -- the Impella 2.5 -- and analysts and Abiomed are hoping that this tool will be the key to the company's success. The Impella 2.5 is supposed to take over all the heart's pumping activity after a heart failure. By doing this, blood can continue to flow throughout the body while the heart rests and heals. The Impella 2.5 can pump 2.5 liters of blood flow per minute -- about half of what the heart pumps. That makes it a useful product for procedures, such as an angioplasty, by enhancing the blood flow during the procedure, thereby reducing the chances of any damage being done to the heart.

James Altucher: Stocks Heading to New Highs
James Altucher, a managing partner at Formula Capital as well as a regular contributor to DailyFinance, says the S&P 500 is going to 1500. He argues that now is the time for investors buy stocks. Appearing on CNBC's Squawk Box Tuesday morning with economist Nouriel Roubini, Altucher argued that the economy is improving and stocks are cheap trading at about 10 times earnings (compared to the historical average of 15 times earnings). As a result, he says that investing in stocks now makes sense. Continue reading James Altucher: Stocks Heading to New Highs

CarMax Could Be a Good Long-Term Buy
CarMax (KMX) reported strong first quarter earnings on Wednesday sending its stock up 9%. One day later, the stock has come off, perhaps making this a good opportunity to buy shares. CarMax, which sells, finances and services used and new cars, has a good story. The company's same store used vehicle sales were up 9% year over year. While Gross margins declined from the year ago quarter to 14.7% from 15.1%, it is up over its five-year average of 13%. Besides that, gross margin was up sequentially, probably due to the company's efforts to improve the way it reconditions vehicles.

A New iPhone from Apple Could Help the Stock
Despite the market's volatility, shares of Apple (AAPL) remain relatively stable as investors wait for Steve Job's presentation later today at Apple's annual developer's conference in San Francisco. It's widely expected that Jobs will announce the next iPhone, which will operate on fourth generation (4G) high-speed wireless networks. Given the tough market, it's unlikely that such news will give Apple's stock much of a bounce. Shares trade around $254 per share. But the news of a new iPhone may help to support the stock and at current levels, Apple's shares look attractive.

Guru Strategy: Don't Rush into Junk Stocks
At the beginning of a bull market, it's often the most speculative stocks that perform the best. As the market has rebounded over the past year, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ($INDU) is up about 40% while the S&P SmallCap 600 Index is up about 58%. And that is exactly why Richard Moroney, editor of Dow Theory Forecasts, is now sounding warning bells. "The risk trade has defied conventional wisdom by continuing this year, tempting some investors to throw out their playbook and join the rush into high risk stocks," says Moroney.
Moroney warns that investors chasing after risky companies will now be paying a premium for low quality merchandise. Instead, he suggests that investors pursue attractively valued stocks with good fundamentals.

Profiting from Boutique Investment Banks
Hilary Kramer, the editor of GameChangerStocks.com, says that investors should consider ways to profit from rising revenues in investment banking. Kramer says that now, as the credit crisis abates and mergers and acquisitions begin to pick up, investors should closely watch a couple of fast growing New York City-based boutique investment banks that she says are undervalued. One of them is Evercore Partners (EVR). Evercore was founded by banker and statesman, Roger Altman and specializes in mergers and acquisitions. The bank has been expanding internationally, partly through its acquisition of the British firm Braveheart Financial Services as well as a Mexican-based financial services firm. Kramer says Evercore should grow its asset management business by some 20% under its new chief executive, Ralph Schlosstein. Schlosstein, by the way, was the co-founder and president of Blackrock Group. Kramer expects that as M&A activity picks up and as the company's asset management grows -- and becomes profitable in the fourth quarter -- the stock should perform well, rising by 25% over the next year.
