Bankrate, Inc. (RATE)

CAPS Rating:
**

The Company owns and operates an Internet-based consumer banking marketplace and provides financial applications and information to a network of distribution partners and national, regional, and local publications.

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.

Perhaps there is a real 'need' for this stuff but I don't believe it. If it gets sucked up by someone much larger, the applications could become mighty important to a larger audience but, as it currently works/sells/exists, I only see this going down in PE/value/price!

43 times cashflow for 20% revenue growth, on a product that Google or Yahoo can build in an afternoon if they choose to? I don't know how you extrapolate that much. Only way this thing keeps its momentum is if it becomes an acquisition target.

Since the fed's rate dropped, expect banks to do well, because they are not lowering the rate for their customers for borrowing.
