A look at a collection of analyst calls on Countrywide Financial (CFC) shows that the mean target share price for the company is still above any level that makes sense.
CFC closed today at $8.64, down another 10%. To show how far off securities analysts can be, the Thomson/First Call target price for the stock is $23.35 based on information from ten analysts.
The average rating for the stock on a scale of 1 (strong buy) to 5 (strong sell) is 3.1.
That is pretty high for shares which could go to zero.

Credit Card Companies Are Doing Something Nuts
Credit card companies are at war. The biggest issuers are handing out free rewards and benefits to win the best customers.
It’s possible to find cards paying unlimited 1.5%, 2%, and even more today. That’s free money for qualified borrowers, and the type of thing that would be crazy to pass up. Those rewards can add up to thousands of dollars every year in free money, and include other benefits as well.
We’ve assembled some of the best credit cards for users today. Don’t miss these offers because they won’t be this good forever.
Flywheel Publishing has partnered with CardRatings for our coverage of credit card products. Flywheel Publishing and CardRatings may receive a commission from card issuers.
