You have to be quick with these mortgage stocks and get in and out fast. L/T who knows, maybe it just might be best to hold these cheap stocks and look at them 2 years from now. See which 1 puts out news tomorrow and jump in when the news hits. Good luck

IMH looks strong so far today, needs to test 1.83 again. If it can't get 1.83 you might take a profit today. I still think the next news release will send the stock thru 2 unless the news is real bad. Good luck

Investors expect the Federal Reserve will cut its target for interest rates on overnight bank loans to 5 percent from the current 5.25 percent, Miller said.

Miller said cutting rates will strengthen lenders' profit margins, but will not fix the fundamental problem that led to the drainage of cash in the first place: sinking home values.

With the housing market in a protracted slowdown, investment banks this year grew skittish about putting money into mortgages. No matter what it does with interest rates, Miller said the Fed cannot rescue slipping home prices. As long as investors have no faith in housing, they will not finance mortgages, he said.

The mortgage industry needs $150 billion to $250 billion in cash to stabilize, he estimated. He does not think an interest rate cut will attract that money.
