Capital One Financial Corp. (COF)

CAPS Rating:

A diversified financial services company whose banking and non-banking subsidiaries market a variety of financial products and services.

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 (COF) bluedawn (< 20) Submitted: 11/20/08 2:51 AM : Start Price: $25.66 COF Score: 9.92 The Company continues to beat their loss forecast every month. Also unlike American Express they have secured debt to work with and have planed this happening in advance. I think in the long run they will be one of the few who survive.

Recs 0 (COF) dutchburger (61.42) Submitted: 10/31/08 6:10 AM : Start Price: $36.70 COF Score: 6.56 The prospect for this financing company is exceedingly bleak. Consumer spending will drop significantly over the next few quarters and clients will default on their debt, resulting in poor results for COF. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops!
