Palm, Inc. (PALM)

CAPS Rating:

The Company develops, markets and sells a family of mobile computing solutions.

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.

Recs 0 (PALM) PlanToWin (< 20) Submitted: 10/05/08 4:02 PM : Start Price: $5.70 PALM Score: -4.02 The Palm hardware and operating system are going to get crushed by the iPhone and all of the iPhone knock-offs. The only hope for the company long term is to be bought. I think that the chances of that in the near term are slim and long term the value of the company will be seriously diminished.
