CAPS Rating:

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.

Recs 0 (HTS) Worthy (75.51) Submitted: 10/05/08 10:49 AM : Start Price: $21.11 HTS Score: 2.65 Buys Government-guaranteed (now explicitly) bonds with borrowed money. Rates will stay low until financial crisis passes and economy recovers. Govt. bailout for Fannie and Freddie eliminates bond default risk. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops!

Recs 0 (HTS) Harry0925 (< 20) Submitted: 7/13/08 7:15 PM : Start Price: $21.50 HTS Score: 14.96 Agency-backed mortgages are money good and spreads in this business are at excellent levels. Company is misunderstood/avoided because it is an IPO and has the word Financial in its name, this is an opportunity. When the company invests its proceeds it will have a run-rate dividend yield of something like 18%. The stock should double, and provide a truly enormous total return. Only risk is the repo market faltering and the overwhelming evidence is that that won't happen. In its most recent auction, no I-banks drew funds from the Fed, meaning that they have access to credit that is cheaper than that. This bodes well for the repo market, and the Wall Street Journal recently concurred with that notion. Report this Post Replies: 1 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops!

So at 25 recently, the stock was sporting an expected yield of around 19%. We think the stock gets to 30 at least. Between the appreciation and the yield, it's a great total return."

Recs 0 (HTS) MarketBottom (34.76) Submitted: 5/25/08 3:25 PM : Start Price: $25.23 HTS Score: -8.00 Banks, morgage companies, and financials in general will surely find the enviroment going forward challenging. The consumer is struggling, and all forms of credit are seeing rising loses. Thumbs down for this sector for the forseeable future. Additional capital will be required by regulators, and the appetite for risk has decreased dramatically over the last year. The FDIC is calling retired former employees back to deal with the potential collapse of 300 to 1000 banks in the coming year or two. In this decending cycle it will become more and more difficult to grow profits and expland while actual consolidation of the industry is taking place.

Yes, the financial sector seems to be jumping back and key reversals seem to be lifting bullish investors, but this ray of hope will end once investors understand how bad this looming recession is going to be. Even the hopeful and growing few in the financial sector are going to suffer from the troubles of the many. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops!
