Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. (MER)

CAPS Rating:
**

As an investment bank, the Company is a global trader and underwriter of securities and derivatives across a range of asset classes, and it serves as a strategic advisor to corporations, governments, institutions and individuals worldwide.

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.

Merrill is in a major downtrend due to the CDO disaster. This too will pass and the advisory, wealth management business will continue to grow and thrive.

I think they've underwritten one too many bad securities. There's many more real estates deals expected to end up in foreclosure in the upcoming year or two. In the short term MER still has further to drop as they continue to write off bad debts. Rating Bear in the short term and Bull in the long term (4 plus years).

Clicking "Beat this Stock!" will bring you to a company with a higher rating than the one you're currently viewing.

Even though CAPS shows only one- to five-star rankings, behind the scenes, all companies in CAPS have a distinct numerical ranking. In other words, there is a No. 1 stock in CAPS and a worst-ranked stock in CAPS. When you arrive at the top-ranked stock, clicking "Beat this Stock!" will cause the page to refresh.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
