RAIT Financial Trust (RAS)

CAPS Rating:
***

The Company is a specialty finance company that provides a comprehensive set of debt financing options to the real estate industry.

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.

They have significantly reduced their exposure to short term debt which has caused so many other businesses to face margin calls.

In general I think it is impossible to say which company takes the fall in the meltdown. Surely the winner takes it all and this one is one of my bet. On the chart the stock has been forming a flag/rectangle top. I expect an upward breakout in the near future.

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!
