Financial Select Sector SPDR (ETF) (XLF)

CAPS Rating:
**

Seeks to replicate the total return of the Financial Select Sector of the S&P 500 Index. It unbundles the benchmark S&P 500 and gives the investor ownership in particular sectors of industries that are represented by a specified Select Sector Index.

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.

Our government wants to give Wall Street a $700 billion reward for destroying the economy. Tell them to stuff it. Check out www.FedUpUsa.com

I'm biting the bullet now. The bailout is going to go through so I'm thinking now is a great time to get in.
