World Acceptance Corp. (WRLD)

CAPS Rating:
***

The Company is engaged in the small-loan consumer finance business, offering short-term small loans, medium-term larger loans, related credit insurance and ancillary products and services to individuals.

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.

Small companies will need the loans to grow. Easy to get a high interest rate short term loan tied to different types of collection methods. Since they go with companies that cant get a loan, they really look under the business skirt. Tie up assets and also direct collect.

Great business for current market conditions. High interest loans to those who can't get credit from other institutions.

1. good fundamentals


2. dropped from $48 to $30 in 2007 due to perception that all "financials" will suffer from subprime housing loan problems, but WRLD is not directly linked.


3. drop to $25 from $30 in Jan 08 likely due to lawmaker in So Carolina threatening to outlaw "payday" lenders. Probably oversold due to that threat.


4. smart insider has been buying large amounts at market prices for several months at prices below $35

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!
