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.

Prior to the ass-endancy of Accountants, the Chief Operating Officer called the shots and was typically from some functional area. The financial wizzards drove this company down by moving it from Banking to Financial Institute. Now it is returning to Banking. Jerry has got that move right.

The Fear Trade: Investors Pile into Gold and Treasuries
The Dow suffered its biggest one-day point drop in history (although not even close on a percentage loss basis) as investors moved out of stocks into traditional safe havens such as Treasuries and gold (GLD). The failure of Congress to approve the $700B bailout package stunned investors as lawmakers worked through the weekend and practically around the clock to put together a plan that was widely expected to pass. The Senate will return Wednesday night while the House meets again this Thursday following the Jewish New Year holiday recession.

In other signs of worry over a worsening global economic recession, the U.S. Oil Fund (USO) lost more than 10%, the Baltic Dry Index slipped to multi-year lows, the iShares Emerging Markets Index (EEM) was down over 11%, and the Market Vectors Steel ETF (SLX) was down over 16%. Very few stocks closed in the green today, but among stocks that I track BioSante Pharma (BPAX) surged by over 16% on over four times its average volume without any news releases to account for the move.

I plan to focus on the small and micro-cap biotech space since these companies trade in their own universe for the most part based on their clinical development activities regardless of the economy. I own shares of Cytori Therapeutics (CYTX), which had a mid-day surge in the midst of the market sell-off, but still ended the day in the red on light volume. Overall, I am still very cautious on the market and will keep most of my money in cash until the market stabilizes as the velocity of today's downturn around mid-day was unsettling.

Price spike on rally.











Look at balance sheet and compare interim quarters.











Intangibles increaseing.





Total assets decreasing with sell off of mortgages (383 million from metlife estimate sec form 8k 9/5/08).





Deposti base decreasing.





Total Deposits Q2-08 15,093.95

Q4-07 17,032.29


Q3-07 18,635.36


Q2-07 21,761.68





Short term borrowing doubled from last year.


Debt equity ratio 5.07 vs industry 1.59.


Pre tax profit margin -22.7 vs industry avg +21.2.


Net profit margin -13.5 vs industry avg +15.5.





Bank changes in getting rid non Tenneessee mortgage & personell changes may be good start in puttinh FHN back to profitable operations. Still see more down time for stock. Possible buy around 1st of year when stock is down again but balance sheet & income statements starting showing steady reversal to profit status.


Would look at debt to see reduction of amounts owed in short term borrowing & total long term debt. More important would want to see deposits increasing from Q2-08 level

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