Popular is one of three speculative plays that I'm adding to CAPS. DragonLZ has identified quite a few in his blogs that might be the second wave of speculation by investors. Most of his calls are overly speculative and balance sheets are in tatters. Most beaten down companies are often ones that are losing money and may not return to former glory anytime soon. Several have instituted severe cost cutting to turn back profitable, but this is not always a long term solution if customer expectations are under met or if products cannot be made profitably. BPOP is a bank Puerto Rico, the United States, Venezuela, and the Dominican Republic offering a full range of banking/loan/insurance products. The losses on the balance sheet are difficult to calculate. BPOP has managed to hold reserves and has slowed it's losses. While it will not be an $18 stock again anytime soon, I do agree that it has the potential to be a multi-bagger or a casualty. It will NOT stay in this trading range. I give it better odds of recovery than crashing, but it's highly speculative.
