The Allstate Corp (ALL)

CAPS Rating:
***

The Company is engaged, principally in the United States, in the property-liability insurance, life insurance, retirement and investment product business. Its primary business is the sale of private passenger auto and homeowner's insurance.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Insanely low PE for such a strong, profitable company. Sub-prime won't hurt this stock as much as panic already has. This is a great long-term pick.

Just rated the worst insurance company in America in an AAJ report. Consistantly denies claims and screws consumers on a daily basis. Expect profits to dwindle.

U.S. bad weather has already cost property insurers more than $5B this quarter - equal to about 3/4 of 2007's total catastrophe claims. A lull in insurance pricing continues to reduce the companies premiums, which could leave them in an even worse situation by the time the storm season subsides. 40% of insurers reported losses and expenses ate up virtually all their premium in Q1.

This stock is included in the Morningstar "Dividend Portfolio," which I use as my core stock group. I highly suggest anyone interested in dividend income take a look at this grouping of quality income producing stocks.
