Irwin Financial Corp (IFC)

CAPS Rating:

A diversified financial services company. Its major lines of business are: mortgage banking, commercial banking, home equity lending, commercial finance and venture capital.

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.

With a company in as much recent trouble as Irwin Financial, you have to ask yourself two questions:

1) Is the company likely to stay in business?
2) Can the company return to profitability?

If the answer to the both is affirmative, then you'll begin to smell the sweet fragrance of opportunity - s...More

Recs 0 (IFC) jmofield (66.49) Submitted: 5/09/08 9:30 PM : Start Price: $4.60 IFC Score: -2.59 I have decided for the next serveral weeks to change my investment strategy to be short stocks trading between $1.50 and below $10 with a market cap of more than $100 million. My goal is to acheive at least a 60% sucess rate of beating the S&P Index. I am looking for 30% of my picks beating the S&P Index by more than 5% with an average per pick of at least 1.50. I am only looking to hold these positions for approximately 10-15 days. I would like to go ahead and have all 200 picks using this strategy but right now I playing the market to the downside since April 30, 2008. I am short Long and Ultra Long ETF's and long Short and Ultra Short ETF's. As of Friday, May 9, 2008 that strategy is flat and hasn't produced favorable results. If next week, we see continued weakness in the markets and lose about another 2% then the strategy will work out pretty nicely. All the picks that I select are from screening criteria that I have developed using software from Vectorvest. I find it to be a good screening tool. For game playing purposes, since I always try to have 200 picks going at once, it's a shot gun approach with only short term trading in mind. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops!

Recs 0 (IFC) Dublin063 (88.19) Submitted: 4/25/08 11:32 AM : Start Price: $6.11 IFC Score: 27.25 This company just hasn't had very much good news these past months. Irwin Financial Corporation announced that for first quarter of 2008, it expects to show a modest loss from operations, which would certainly be an improvement from the last two quarters of 2007. Irwin Financial Corporation announced that its Board of Directors has voted to suspend quarterly dividends on its common, preferred and trust preferred securities. Irwin Financial Corporation announced that for fourth quarter of 2007, it expects to report a loss from operations due to the effects of conditions in the mortgage market and housing markets. I see it taking a change in the economy to see a change in this company. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops! There appears to be a problem with your comment.
