SLM Corp (SLM)

CAPS Rating:
**

A holding company that operates through a number of subsidiaries. The Company's primary business is to originate and hold student loans by providing funding, delivery and servicing support for education loans in the United States.

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.

Avatar TMFBuck (75.57) Submitted: 4/18/08 2:21 PM

The prices of attending school are increasing much faster than the rate of inflation. Student lenders are being forced out of business due to the credit crisis.

I laugh at how as a college student I qualify for a $30,000 credit line, several platinum credit cards, and then all these student loans. I wonder to myself whether I should just max of the credit line, the 7-10 credit cards, and apply for a $15,000 school loan and then go and declare bankrupcy.More

Student loans are not going anywhere and most of them are backed by the government. The financial industry as a whole is down because of the subprime meltdown and as a result Sallie Mae has sunk with the tide. This company is undervalued as a result and will bounce back in a big way.

I have 4 kids in college and I can't get a home equity loan to fund the cost. I don't want to sell my stock. Maybe I can get student loans for them.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
