Franklin Resources, Inc. (BEN)

CAPS Rating:
***

An investment management Company, which provides investment management and related services to its retail mutual funds, and to institutional, high net-worth and separately managed accounts and other investment products.

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 members 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.

As assests under management shrink so do the fees BEN collects. This is a little bit of a leveraged method to bet on a lower market with little down side because I cannnot imagine anything sparking a market rally over the summer.

I used Bates' model to determine a fair value of 169.6
I AM a sunday fool.com player so it's probably wrong again.
