CAPS Rating:
***

The Company serves as the holding company of its only subsidiary, Hudson City Savings Bank.

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.

How goofy is this? Best bank in the country and I sold my Ridgewood, NJ house to the CEO, Hermance, in 1993. I even held his second mortgage for awhile.





Not a rocket stock, but a solid performer.

Waaaaaaaaaaay overvalued. Will be caught up with the rest of the credit crisis. See mandrake's pitch. Also these guys serve NYC which is a holdout but is finally capitulating.

Fourth time around at this, man these financials are a tough bunch. I had reviously been testing the BKX index constituents, but since I already have an active position under testing, I looked to other banking indexes to see if a similar test can be performed today. This is the 11th day in 2008 the trigger has been tripped on the BKX, but only the second time for the KRE index, which contains a more diversified list of constituents and who, as a group, haven't seen their capital ratios affected quite as dramatically (as consequerntly have not undergone quite as severe a shellacking necessitating capital raises as the bigger BKX names.)

Now the decline been so bad in the regional bank group that the KRX Index is now 24% under its 200-day moving average.

Unfortunately, the index itself does not have a long enough history to test how prior period reactions to this level of a selloff, but the BKX index does. with regard to the BKX, that's an extraordinarily large spread that has been seen only five other times in its history - 10/7/98, 7/23/02, 10/7/02, 1/6/08, and 3/10/08. All were within a day of a major low and a month later the index was higher by +33%, +25%, 28%, 11%, and 7% respectively.

So now I am using CAPS to track the KRX constituents over the next month in addition to my previously placed BKX bets, to see if this historical technical pattern will hold for the regional banks as it has so far for the major banks.
