Protective Life Corp. (PL)

CAPS Rating:
**

A holding company whose subsidiaries provide financial services through the production, distribution and administration of insurance and 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.

Believe Protective will make it with some TARP help. Even if book is overstated by 2x, still looks pretty cheap. Long at $6

Book value is more than twice the market price. Once the post-AIG fallout settles, they should be fine.

This company falls into the type of insurance companies that have been battered for no good reason.

Soon to take charge of a Citigroup division that is going to be a) very much happier out from under THAT umbrella and b) more profitable than anything coming up that they can get for a good long time into the future. I like this as one of the finacial's 'comeback' story.

Solid growth and a nice dividend. P/E under 10 seals the deal.

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