Raymond James Financial, Inc. (RJF)

CAPS Rating:
**

A holding company whose subsidiaries are engaged in various financial services businesses, including the underwriting, distribution, trading and brokerage of equity and debt securities and the sale of mutual funds and other investment products.

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.

Raymond James is one of those traditional brokerage operations. Nothing fancy about this shop, just trading support for their customers. It's a pretty boring financial business, but everyone who thought they were so smart with credit derivatives are sitting in the corner with dunce hats.

Tom James and the folks at Raymond James have been doing it right for a long time. They stayed out of all of the derivatives and sub prime fiascos that nailed most of the major Wall St players and actually beat profit projections last quarter. They won't turn over a gigantic profit during the good times but you won't see them take huge losses during the bad times either. They just keep growing the business a little at a time. I expect them to stay near their profit projections for the rest of the year which puts them way ahead of the major houses

My brokerage services through Fulton Financial Advisors are about to change to Raymond James. I hope they are all they tout themselves to be.

Is currently a bargain buy and will continue to be a strong regional - as long as that bank does okay.

Beat this Stock

Clicking "Beat this Stock!" will bring you to a company with a higher rating than the one you're currently viewing.

Even though CAPS shows only one- to five-star rankings, behind the scenes, all companies in CAPS have a distinct numerical ranking. 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!
